For my killer art I didn't choose a particular artist but the dangerous(and illegal) art form of graffiti.

Many graffiti artists have died or been killed by graffiti, not only from run-ins with law enforcement but by attempting to do graffiti in dangerous spots or areas. Within the graffiti community, these areas which are harder to reach, harder to get to, or flat out ridiculous are given more appreciation for their level of difficulty. For instance, places that are very high up or require a bit of climbing are called "heaven spots". Ironically many have fallen to their deaths because of these attempts, and I have linked articles to many who have tragically died because of it.
