"Graffiti styles seem extremely
conservative and resistant
to change. For example, here's
a panel of original American
style graffiti that was just
scrawled or sprayed on walls
here in Amsterdam - fully
thirty years and over six
thousand miles away from
the time and places that
the tag Taki 183 first
showed up in New York
city subway cars."
