This is pretty ridiculous. Many Graffiti writers here in Queens NYC meet up at 5 pointz (graffiti museum and youth haven) to sign each others black books and encourage each others artistic evolution. Most of the writers down there do canvas work and illustration work. Most of them do NOT write illegally (such as myself who works for a graffiti art program) and makes an incredible amount of money on "urban art" such as photography, sculpture and other graffiti involved mediums. There seems to be a huge ignorance about the difference between "graffiti" and "vandalism". Just like racism, if you are uneducated you will find yourself grouping allot of talented innocent artists into a very WRONG category. Writers are rarely gang related, and most of the time positive wildly underivitive artists involved with creative design in graphics, logos, layout and more! check out www.jmldesigns.net for more graffiti education. As an art teacher, I've found graffiti is an amazing way to reach talented otherwise lost youth. This diagram really is hateful and is frankly a joke. I use it as my wallpaper on my macbook ;)
