“Graffiti and graffito are from the Italian word graffiato (“scratched“)”
As I travel this diverse landscape of ours I oft notice the “gifts” given by the unknown artists of the streets. I say this with a light tone as I know not all are in it for the progression of their respectful specialties(tagging, stencil, aerosol,etc.). Often there is undue property damage and defacing, but there will be no judging here. I hope to use “scRatched” as a way for you to tour the same “galleries” I am afforded in my travels. Enjoy.
I have utmost admiration for any artist, who understands that the creation of the piece itself, most likely assures it’s eventual destruction.
