A drawing or inscription made on a wall or other surface, usually so as to be seen by the public

Art in the form of graffiti (graffiti by style and considered so only if it appears on public or private property without permission, appeared in the late 1960s when "Julio 204" began writing his "tag" all around the city of New York.Soon following Julio came a Greek youth from Manhattan named Demitrius who tagged his own "Taki183" all over the city as well. Taki also focused on writing on the subway in New York. Even though what Julio 204 and Taki 183 did in New York eventually developed into what was called by some "New York Style" graffiti, these New York writers only popularized it.

Soon the style of the words escaladed and the work become bigger and complex, until we came with what we can call modern graffiti which is now closer to art than crude vandalism.
