We want to take moment to give a big shout-out to Cassidy Curtis at the Graffiti Archaeology Project. Cassidy correctly identified for the us the writer of some graf we posted about here at Global Graphica a couple of weeks ago (see BK with Skulls, East Village, NYC) . We were unable to identify the graf by "Booker" (a.k.a, "Readmore"), and at the time had speculated that the writer may have been "Beke" or "Beko." Of course, on hindsight inspection of the image, we spotted a second, unstylized tag that clearly says "Booker" in the upper right of the image. Somehow we failed to connect the dots the first time. Anyway, a big Global Graphica "Thank you" to Cassidy. If you have a second, we highly recommend you check out Cassidy's Grafarc.org website -- it's a very cool project.

What is Street Art?
Many people know street art when they see it. But what it is and what it isn't sometimes is unclear and often debatable at best. A definition of street art may be helpful. According to the Wikipedia's entry on the subject as of July 11, 2008, Street Art is defined as follows:
Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term Street Art or the more specific Post-Graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.

About Global Graphica
Global Graphica is a personally curated website devoted to photographically documenting the street art we see in daily walks in and around downtown New York City and in cities we travel to around the world. Images of other ephemeral art forms and visual culture are also posted to our site, as is information and commentary about exhibitions, events and media. Global Graphica was launched in 2004 as a spin-off web project of the pop-culture web magazine Air Massive. The site was set up to create a personal photo record of the ever-changing street art we encountered daily in our downtown New York City neighborhood and beyond. Global Graphica welcomes inquiries and submissions of images from readers and artists.
