> you think that writing graffiti is self-advertising I wonder what else you think it could be? The vast majority of graffiti works I have seen, whether in person or in books of graffiti art, consist of nothing more than the writer's alias. Some people advertise their persistence, by scrawling their names in as many places as possible; some advertise their athleticism and courage, by writing in spots which are difficult or dangerous to reach; others advertise their artistic skill, writing their names in elaborate style with color and shading; but they're virtually all just writing their names, over and over, trying to build a reputation.
