Proper Graffiti is all kinds of brill!
Where I lived in Bristol was a hotbed of activity for some serious graffiti talent.
I'm in two minds about it though. You're right tagging is shit but it's where a lot of graf artists cut their teeth. Also, whilst 'proper' graffiti is brilliant, I think it can also be inappropriate if done in the wrong place (on a church for example or on a nice stone wall as opposed to a painted wall)
also, congrats on becoming a Dad! Get plenty of sleep in now - you'll never sleep again!

^ I totally agree!
I used to write myself a few years back, a lot of my art is influenced by it! I even tagged for a bit when I first started but soon grew out of that. I'd never have painted a church or not on someone's house either! (unless they asked me to!)
*thanks! sleeps! :)
