Before he would be credited with creating what we know as "graffiti" in a contemporary context, CORNBREAD was Daryl Alexander McCray. He got into his fair share of trouble as a kid and was eventually shipped off to the Youth Development Center corrections facility for "juvenile delinquents." He was dismayed when he found out that the mess hall didn't have — you guessed it — "cornbread." Every day he'd ask the ornery cook why it wasn't on the menu? After days of pestering him, the cook finally yelled at him to get out of his kitchen — referencing Daryl as "Cornbread." Graffiti has always been about making the artist’s name or message visible, which is why it is created in public spaces. Graffiti artists of the late 20th-century were often individuals who didn’t have access to more traditional means or platforms of expression to get their name or message out. The culture of Graffiti and tagging revolves around leaving a mark so other artists and taggers can see your tag in the community. Who Started Graffiti Art?
