In Edinburgh, Scotland, police blame most of the stencil graffiti on two rival gangs. In Oaxaca city, Mexico they were making political statements just before state elections. In Columbia, Missouri, the community is trying find a creative ways to deal with it. Stencil graffiti, popularised by Banksy in England whose works are now considered art, is now an International Phenomenon.

Two gangs - Own Edinburgh and DKM - carry out much of the spray painting, trying to outdo each other by placing gang "tags" in ever more outrageous places. Leith artist Bernie Reid, who began his career painting on walls around the port, said stencilling was a growing trend. "It's certainly been getting more coverage, largely thanks to Banksy, and younger folk see this and follow on from that," said the 34-year-old, who was recently commissioned by Habitat to produce graffiti-style prints for wallpaper and other interior decorations. "It's definitely quicker. I think that's why Banksy got into it, he'd been chased away by police a few too many times. (news.scotsman)
