Check out this video of artists making some really cool digital graffiti 2. Graffiti takes many different shapes and forms. Check out these cool stop-motion graffiti videos. Some use paint, some use light, and some use tape. You don't always have to use permanent materials to make graffiti. Rippled from Oh Yeah Wow on Vimeo. 3. Check out the work of artist Aakash Nihalani. He uses tape to make graffiti-based optical illusions. Sometimes, he turns the graffiti into stop-motion gifs. 4.
