When Cavemen Met Crayons

Believe it or not, graffiti has been around since humans first figured out how to draw. Ancient cave paintings were the original tags, with our prehistoric ancestors doodling on walls to say, “I was here.” Fast forward a few millennia, and graffiti found its way into the Roman Empire, where citizens scrawled messages on public buildings—sort of like the ancient version of Twitter, but with fewer cat memes.

New York, New York: The Birthplace of Modern Graffiti

Modern graffiti as we know it started in the gritty streets of 1970s New York City. It was a time when the city was bankrupt, crime was high, and subway cars were a canvas in motion. Young artists like TAKI 183 and CORNBREAD started tagging their names everywhere, turning the city into their own personal art gallery. These pioneers laid the groundwork for graffiti as a form of self-expression and rebellion.

From Tags to Masterpieces

What began as simple tags quickly evolved into complex pieces of art. Graffiti artists started to create murals that were as detailed and intricate as any gallery painting. Crews formed, styles developed, and graffiti became a respected art form in its own right—at least among those who weren’t scrubbing it off their buildings.
