GRAFFITI ART

Graffiti was originally a reference to ancient inscriptions and can be observed in the Catacombs of Rome or at the ruins of Pompeii.

Graffiti, once considered vandalism, is becoming more widely recognized as a type of artwork.

I've traveled around my home-town of Dayton and discovered multiple examples of fine Graffiti artwork.

My search for local Graffiti art in Dayton was inspired by my trip to Budapest where we enjoyed looked at art murals on buildings. Here is a link to my age on Graffiti in Budapest.

This Graffiti is on the wall of the West Social Tap + Table which serves this richly storied historic district as common ground for visitors and locals alike
