History: The word GRAFFITI simply means--words or drawings scratched, scribbled or painted on a wall. The word originates from the Greek word "graphein" (to write) and the word "grafitti" itself is plural of the Italian word "graffito." Graffiti markings have been around since the beginning of time, remnant of early graffiti can be seen in caves all over the world. It represents a human desire and need for communication, and in some cases the simple display of existence.A tag or a mural for graffiti artists is an advertisement for an individual--the goal is to get your name known. You have to have a marketing strategy, what will be the most effective way of getting your name (product) well known, everywhere! Sound familiar? Well it should, because that is exactly what all of us are doing on twitter every day, facebook or any other medium that we use to promote ourselves, our business etc. Companies with money use billboards and TV ads, people with less or no money in the 70's, 80's, and 90's used a marker.In part one of a 3 part series, I will talk about 5 individuals that brought street art to the mainstream.
