There are rare instances when a wall of a building is open to spray can art. The taggers, bombers, schemers, or whatever they are being called this month usually don't show up, however. That's because the art of a schemer is "different" that that of a spary can artist who puts work up on large surfaces. It's unfortunate that the talents of the bomber can't be displayed more often. Their work is generally smaller and less "functional" than, say, a mural or scene painted on the side of a structure. Some of the "posts" on things like subway cars and on stationary objects are quite good and reflect uncommon ability. But there are a number of things that inhibit the graffiti artist. One is that this person will often have his efforts lumped in with the simple crap that gang members post to mark turf. 'Nuf said there. Local codes and ordinances are pretty restrictive. And part of the motivation of someone who wants to scheme a bunch of the aforementioned subway cars in hopes of going "all city" to display his work is the thrill of the act. It's illegal. And knowingly and deliberately breaking the law bring heightened feelings to many, if not most people. The artist gets a rush sneaking into a yard and laying up schemes on a few cars and then making a break for it. Another idea is that the tag is "living art" and is painted over, either all or in part, in a perpetual display of evolving visual stimulation - or visual noise, if you look at it this way. The bottom line, to be more direct, is that there aren't a lot of places in or near urban areas where graffiti is welcome. It is only rarely that those who practice this art form have a legit canvas, like someone's old car or garage door. As an alternative, develop skills and abilities in the art, and then move on to spray painting murals or other displays. By having some skills so the piece looks "good" when you're done, you might be able to go around and convince some local folks to let you scheme their old truck or mailbox or whatever. That's about the best that can be hoped for. Good luck finding patrons of your art form.
There's a graffiti wall on Temple Street in Nashua at Streetwise Graffiti Bike & Skate. It is currently illegal anywhere else in the state.
Well, At places like walmart, and the dollar general, they sell stickers/ labels that say "Hello, my name is" with a blank underneath it, most graffiti writers tag their name in the blank and post them places, and sometimes, graff writers also use the stickers you can get for free at the post office, but using the post office stickers can get you in some serious trouble.

You need a spray can of paint. Graffiti is illegal and should only be done on places where it is allowed.
If you have the permission of whoever it is that actually owns the room - yes.
The difference between urban art and graffiti is that urban artists have permission from the owner of the object they are painting on this is legal. Graffiti is illegal because the person doing it does not have permission from the owner.
