The Writing’s on the Wall

The argument is bound to start up again soon. Where did graffiti originate? In Philly, we claim it’s ours. But NYC has been laying its claim for quite a while. All I have to say: Cornbread tagged the Jackson 5 Jet in Philly. Anyway, this book traces the rich history of not just grafitti, but public writing. You may not think there’s a difference, but this book should answer all the questions like the egghead from your third grade class. Covering the sixties to the eighties, Public Wall Writing in Philadelphia presents pictures of a culture with a message to send, in any form, from the subway station to the street corner. From a grafitti tag to a shout to your main girl, this book shows how an urban, decayed environment can still find the beauty in the smallest, simplest, yet effective ways.
