Colorful from the Bronx

Colorful from the Bronx, took this shot with a Nikon D90 DSLR and a Sigma 17-70 mm lens from the car while sitting in traffic leaving the Bronx during a traffic jam leaving a Yankees Game in August. Uploading for a challenge in a group ran by my friend Kim Calvert
Is it graffiti when it is this artistic?
