Graffiti has been around since men could draw on walls. Caves from 30,000 years ago often exhibit over endowed men and beautiful (by the standards of the time) women. It could be argued that these were some of the first tags

Modern graffiti art as we know it now originated on the streets of New York City. Artists strove to create better pieces, refining their techniques and use of spray paint to turn what was once a marker of territory into a true art form. Graffiti art has been recognized in the fine art world since the first graffiti-centered gallery opened in Rome in 1979. This exhibition introduced New York's underground scene to the world, and today graffiti artists are some of the most popular on the pop-art scene. Toys and clothing by Kaws and Phetus are in high demand, and exhibits by Elite Gudz and Banksy are talked about in the pop art and graffiti art scenes.
