graffiti - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com Graffiti artists would sign their "tags" for the sake of doing so and sometimes to increase their reputation and prestige as a "writer" or a graffiti artist.

Building owners will be tagged for graffiti Although graffiti’s heyday is considered to have been during the 1980s and early ’90s, a quick walk through the Lower East Side undermines this assumption: tags are ubiquitous; some completely cover apartment buildings’ front doors and storefronts. In other words, if property owners say that they do in fact want the graffiti on their premises — which constitutes a form of free speech — the graffiti can stay and they won’t be fined. Although these concerns aren’t addressed, Vallone’s law does, however, consider the changing nature of modern graffiti and is ready to accommodate building owners who have “alternative” types of graffiti on their property. www.thevillager.com /villager_145/buildingownerswill.html   (1396 words)

In England, the Kilroy logo was known as Chad and his slogan consisted of 'Wot no...?'

IGN: Bleeding Heart Graffiti Review Graffiti is the furthest thing from the musings Gordon used to make with VC. Secondly, for any fans who were able to look past the fact that Bleeding Heart Graffiti is pure pop, plain and simple, they will be met with one of the more dull pop albums you are likely to find out there today. This effort falls somewhere between the lazy, boring work Sheryl Crow has subjected the world to via her recent releases and the snooze-inducing pop-rock of Michelle Branch; it sounds a lot like the worst album Crow never made (well, at least not yet). music.ign.com /articles/723/723189p1.html   (558 words)

chadl2.com » 2005 » June I was a little surprised by the amount of graffiti in Paris, I knew a huge city like that would have it, but I wasn’t expecting it in that quantity. I am also surprised by how much of it there is here; however, I find the graffiti here to be slightly more artistic (if that’s possible,) which might be to be because it is such an art centric community. I do wonder just who is doing the painting though, and if it’s American culture that has influenced them to paint on all of these buildings… at least they seem to respect sacred and historic sites. www.chadl2.com /?m=200506   (1274 words)
