	Sophomore Project by Amie Csiszer '02
		Graffiti artists made a point of distinguishing themselves as individuals, yet they often worked together on pieces and were deeply involved within their crews.
		While graffiti was still, for the most part, illegal in the United States, graffiti artists who knew what it was like to bomb a train or to transform a wall in the middle of the night felt disconnected from their roots when doing gallery pieces.
		Graffiti artists will choose to do murals as a "change of pace" from tagging or piecing, even as a means of beautifying and paying tribute to the people or ethnic traditions of their neighborhoods (Cockcroft 33-35).

		It was during the 1980s, when graffiti writers were approached by art dealers to produce their urban wildstyle onto canvas, for sale to well-off collectors that City Government were spending millions trying to eradicate graffiti, once and for all, from the subway system.
		"graffiti is a kick in the face to the gallery/museum system, where the artist is pimped like a whore for the capitalist system, made into another commodity for people to buy...graffiti art is free for all to come and view, no-one can own it, it belongs to all of us".
		The way graffiti was mass packaged for the art world "can fit Hebdige's definition of 'the commodity art form' in that they sought to remove muralists from the social and aesthetic context for which their art was invented".

		But in the fast-paced world of graffiti art, he and his young friends found that by the time they wanted to contribute, many of their idols’ interests had shifted - some had even soured to the art form.
		Zephyr’s graffiti writing crew were focused on train painting and street tagging – activities that required stealth.

		They say that a graffiti artist who gets caught has got to clean all his illegal Graffitis by himself instead of paying heaps of money to let them be cleaned.
		On the whole in my opinion graffiti artists should be punished for their illegal graffitis, but I do not think their life should be destroyed by having to pay more money than they possibly can raise in their lifetime.

	Hua Hsu
		In a 1995 interview, legendary graffiti artist Dondi White explained his first real exposure to those sacred languages: "(I) think I got into it on my own, because as I would go to different neighborhoods I would always look on the walls to see what gang was in the neighborhood.
		I was always reading shit on the walls." Once Dondi himself started dabbling in graffiti in the mid-1970s, he and his posse maneuvered the thoroughfares of New York with the keen awareness of amateur cartographers, keeping track of which way trains ran, what boroughs boasted the freshest styles and what landmarks afforded maximum visibility.
		It is often argued that the "right authorizing frameworks" are the only thing preventing art snobs from seeing the best graffiti craftsmanship for what it is-not primitive but providential; not reckless but careful, transient and disciplined; too fast to stand around and intellectualize, forget the color wheels and canvases.
