Eight graffiti gang members were【C1】con______of causing £ 5000 worth of damage on the London Underground. They are among more than 70 hard-core graffiti artists thought to be operating in London today. Most of them are under 20.
Graffiti artists, or "grafters" , operate in many British towns. They often work at night, covering walls, trains and railway stations with brightly painted murals or scrawls in spray paint and marker pens.
Some people【C2】r______graffiti as a form of vandalism and a menace. London Underground says that rail users find it ugly and【C3】of______.

" Serena Holley, a spokeswoman for London Underground said.
Graffiti art can also be a dangerous pastime. London Underground says that some teenagers have died in accidents during graffiti "raids" at night.

Even some of those who think graffiti are wrong admit that grafters are talented. "It’s just that their artistic talent is channeled【C6】______the wrong direction," says Barry Kogan, a barrister who represented one of the gang members.
Dean Colman, a 24-year-old graffiti artist says, " I’d never spray private property, like someone’s house. Some graffiti are【C7】______(disgust). There’s a big difference【C8】______ that and graffiti which can brighten up grey walls. "
Dean makes a living as a graffiti artist. His days of【C9】______(legal)spraying are behind him. He has exhibited his work at Battersea Arts Center in London, and he has taught graffiti spraying in youth clubs.
Dean sees himself as an artist, and thinks that graffiti art does not get due【C10】______(recognize). "There’s no graffiti art in the Tate Gallery and there should be, "he says. "Graffiti is as valid as any other art form. " [br] 【C9】
