BBC Scotland - Loop, Shorts, My Art Is Not Vandalism

The successful full-time artist covering Dundee in colour. 

Paco Graff is a successful full-time artist covering Dundee in colour - but he still faces some people accusing his graffiti art of being vandalism.

Paco Graff is a graffiti artist living and working in Dundee, whose colourful commissions are visible across the city. 

His first involvement with graffiti art was in France in the mid 90s, when the movement was a lot more underground than it is today. Although Paco works on a commission basis, he still finds that there are those who accuse him of being a vandal: 'I think a lot of the time it's ignorance. If I was painting the exact same image but with paint brushes they would maybe look at it in a different way, but the image remains the same'.

Undeterred, Paco takes creative inspiration from his surroundings: 'Scotland is a beautiful country. The landscape and the wildlife is always inspiring'.
