graffiti started from a writer who decided to write cornbread on a wall with paint and he liked doing it so he continued to do it all over the city. then many other people cought on. they would come up with nick names and write those in verry basic styles and put their street numbers after them like taki 182. they just did it to spread their names throughout the city and they wanted attention. then over time styles got more complex and biger, they eventualy turned into buble letters and brick letters. people then took over it as an art form and started all these crazy and creative works of art with lettering to them. now days there are people who do graffiti to spread their name and people who do it as a complete art form.
