Today, almost anyone that is actively involved with graffiti uses the internet to share their latest work, either privately or for the world to see.

Through dozens of user friendly blogging platforms all you have to do is log in and click upload and you're instantly "getting up" for the world to see. Many argue that graffiti on the internet distinguishes the traditional efforts of getting your name out there. However, for the more experienced, the internet can be used as a tool to interact with writers around the world and exchange styles and ideas in a positive way.

I created a globally diverse list of the top 25 graffiti blogs. Each deserves recognition for unique contributions to the art form. Selections were based on original flicks, features, design layout, depth of content and consistency of updates.

Check out the 25 Best Graffiti Blogs.

    Complex needs to seriously reconsider who they get to make these lists. They have become yet another way for a small group of people to circle-jerk themselves off via the internet. This list in particular is so obviously laden with agendas. At least 6 of the blogs listed are MSK related, the rest are extremely NYC-centric. Suprise, suprise. There are a few international blogs, only 2 of which are decent, so I really dont see how this is an 'international' list of the best graff blogs. Also half of the people who's blogs are mentioned don't even write illegally of regularly, much less update there blog regularly. It's quite easy to look up web statistics for sites, and tell who gets how many hits per day. Quite a few of the sites listed get around 250 or less hits a day. Obviously they aren't that interesting. All in all lists like this are kinda corny anyways, too bad it had to be done so poorly and made cornier than necessary. summary: #fail
