Graffiti has been around as long as man has existed, we have
documented scratching from ancient Greece,
Rome, Mayans,
and in Americas South West. We usually perceive modern-day Graffiti as vandalism,
defacing property, but the truth be told some pretty amazing art has had its
roots in Graffiti. I have seen some elaborate cave drawings, markings on
tablets, and on monuments either way the primitive etching, scratching, use coals
and today’s paints and paint pens have raised our conciseness and acceptance to
appreciate this form of artistic expression. My photo is from a trip to
Progresso Mexico
and this was a wall on a back street near the school grounds and most places I
have traveled from modern cities to remote islands you can find the local art
being express by bored youth or ancient astronauts either way it’s pretty cool!
