How to keep graffiti spots legal

We see legal graffiti walls closing down regularly. Either to build fancy apartments or because people have been violating a couple of basic common sense rules:

• Respect boundaries. Often times only a specific wall is legal. Get informed, don’t paint the surroundings.
• Take your trash with you. Cans and caps too, which has the positive side effect that kids don’t get their hands on it to fuck up pieces.
• If a wall requires permission, get it. It’s usually just a matter of saying hi or sending an email.
• Be friendly to writers and visitors alike. Especially to neighbours, owners and authorities.
