Graffiti Hall of Fame is one of the most interesting places in New York City for me. A variety of legal graffiti are displayed on the walls of the Jackie Robinson Educational Complex's courtyard, in Harlem. They are some of the best graffiti I have ever seen. Kramer's article, "Painting with Permission: Legal Graffiti in New York City" correlates with the Graffiti Hall of Fame in multiple ways. They both illustrate how some graffiti artists have turned to legal graffiti making in the past twenty years. Also, they both affirm that graffiti artists are mostly interested in creating fine pieces and not making any sort of profit out of it. They spend a lot of money on paint and sprays out of their own pocket just so they can create graffiti for everyone to enjoy.
