Line 49:
Some of those who practice graffiti [[art]] are keen to distance themselves from [[gang]] graffiti. There are differences in both form and intent. The purpose of graffiti art is self-expression and creativity, and may involve highly stylized letter forms drawn with markers, or cryptic and colorful spray paint murals on walls, buildings, and even freight trains. Graffiti artists strive to improve their art, which is constantly changing and progressing. The purpose of gang graffiti, on the other hand, is to mark territorial boundaries, and is therefore limited to a gang's neighborhood; it does not presuppose artistic intent.

Since many graffiti artists are considered vandals, many have moved to creating computer generated graffiti instead. Most of these types of artists are associated with [[ASCII art]], [[ANSI art]], and the computer underground.
