Sometimes I just can't help myself for dropping by with editing ideas that come to me--usually by way of something I'm editing. (-:
Keep in mind that in some circles the word
“graffiti” does not have negative connotations. Travel to Europe—places like
Prague where architecture is often embellished with tromp l’oeil details like carved friezes and or read in disciplines
like archaeology and you’ll find it means simply an inscription or drawing made
on public surfaces. You’ll sometimes see variations on the spelling like
“graffito” which is a tipoff that it is being used that way.
