Unauthorized Public Art Links

So for my final project, I am working with the idea of public art, illegal public art that is, and if it is considered art. You know the inside of bathroom stalls, how ridiculous some of the things are that you find there, is that art? So what happens when you encourage an illegal street artist, or the general public to draw something beautiful?
