As you can see from these two pictures, corporate graffiti is something that is not accepted by the graffiti community. According to Ed Marszewski, who edits an alternative culture magazine, "Any kind of corporate graffiti must be eviscerated...It's not 'graffiti' & it's not art - the power to inspire vaporizes once the viewer realizes they are simply being targeted as a consumer." This is a sentiment shared by many who see corporate graffiti as the antithesis of graffiti. Graffiti is supposed to be used as a vehicle of expressing one's own ideas and thoughts but those who decide to do commisions are no longer in control of their art. This is why many view these artists as sellouts because they are relinquishing their artistic freedom for money. This is part of what being underground is all about, being in control of one's art whether it be emceeing or doing graffiti.
