On My Way Home Cont'd

So on this day I decide to walk a little further down the train tracks I walk on to get to my bus and I found some really cool graffiti. Some is just tagged names but there is some pretty freaking cool pieces

So as I was taking these photos I began to wonder how did this eclectic, bright, free minded art even come about and I found this little bit of history about graffiti on Google of course:

The first modern graffiti writer is widely considered to be Cornbread, a high school student from Philadelphia, who in 1967 started tagging city walls to get the attention of a girl. But it was only in the 1980s that galleries began to showcase graffiti as artwork.
