Graffiti: Art or Vandalism? Naomi Bellina author of Don’t Say No #RLFblog #graffiti

Don’t Say No 
I read a book some time ago that featured taggers, or graffiti
artists. I found the subject fascinating and had to do more research. According
to an article at the Center
for Problem-Oriented Policing
, there are four major types of graffiti, all problematic
and some gang related. Then there are other articles like this one at Smashing
Magazine
, that portray graffiti as art. Check out the examples they show here,
or these by female
street artists. I wouldn’t mind having some of this artwork on the building
at my business.
If I did decide to decorate the outside of my shop, how would
I go about finding a graffiti artist? An Internet search brought up a Facebook page, a Tumblr page, and many
more sites all over the world. Not too many in my area, but I’m sure I could hunt
one down, possibly listing themselves as a mural artist.
Beautiful as it is, sometimes the pictures are done without permission.
In Don’t Say No, unwelcome graffiti is painted all over the outside of a spa on
grand opening day. Curse words, not beautiful pictures. My hero and heroine come
up with a creative solution to solve the problem.
Have you ever seen graffiti that you’d like painted on your walls?
Thanks so much for reading.

About the Book

Mixing business with pleasure has never been so much fun
Amber’s life sucks. Her ex got her thrown out of college, then
fired from her job. When she’s hired for a mystery shopping assignment, she hopes
this is exactly what she needs to kick-start her life and get her back on track.
Jaeger is all business when he hires Amber to check out the spa
he’s purchasing. If she can help him prove that the venture will be a success, then
he can build his own future, not the one his family has mapped out for him. Becoming
attracted to his sexy spy isn’t part of the plan.
Amber can’t see how she fits into Jaeger’s world, and he’s too
uptight to ever fit into hers. Circumstances bring them together, in bed and out,
but when a secret from his upper-class life is revealed, Amber must decide if she
can trust him. Or is her life going down in flames all over again?
