grrfreehand (unless done well) is 99% ugly scawled or bubble written tags. people trying to gain a megre amount of fame by destroying a perfectly good surface. Stencils are nearly always astheticly pleasing and are nearly always anonymous.

miles davis eh?i dont advocate crap graffiti, especially not on war memorials. but compare this
stencilrevolution.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=10399&password=&sort=4&cat=502&page=1
to a typical tag
zoomone.free.fr/images/graf/tagboite.jpg
it suddenly becomes much less chav graffiti and much more art. i admit, there is lots of good freehand about. and many crap and poorly placed stencils, but if you compare the ratio of the two stencils pull ahead in the asthetic department.
