A lot of those nice “graffiti” works are actually commissioned by the building directly. It’s not usually something that someone does overnight. They’ll set up actual scaffolding and cordon the area off while the artist works. Because it’s an actual art piece, not just a random tag.
I’m not from Berlin but I do live in the city. You absolutely see graffiti this elaborate in the wild. In fact it normally comes in on top of all the random tags and mess if it never gets cleaned up
If we’re talking tags, then I’m with you. But graffiti like this is more art than you find in a gallery nowadays. I’ll take that any time. http://youthincmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Graffiti.jpg

Eh, commissioned pieces definitely exist but you also have some awesome artists doing it the old fashioned way for sure.
And a lot of them aren’t.
Every great graffiti artist started with crappy tags and ugly graffities.
I read “crappy tags and ugly giraffes” and was confused but also upset that you’d cast shade on the giraffes like that.
Well, every giraffe also starts as a crappy one (not tall at all).
