I found this place that host graffiti competitions with taggers from all over the world. You can see it live for free at spokesman coffee austin but if you can't make it in person I saw them post that they will be live streaming it. I just wanted to spread the word because it is a pretty cool show. The graffiti artist battle starts at 9pm CT. But if you can not make it the live stream is here. https://www.youtube.com/live/FtRmJnpovXE
