As with anything, from pottery to bank robbery, graffiti has developed over the years in style, skill and creativity and is constantly changing and pushing the envelope. With pottery, there are always new shapes, styles and techniques to explore. The same hold true with the bank robbers. They are constantly coming up with more creative plans and better techniques and are always incorporating new technology into the process and they always have to be one step ahead of the security and try to beat it (beat the system).
A writer, "Noise"from Louisville, said this about the current and future states of tags, "Its all about being creative, markers on stop signs and bus stops- thats all been done. You need to elevate and push it to the next level whether your making stickers and putting them up or carrying around a bucket full of glue rolling it and putting up ypur posters on a wall so they wont come off or even flyering telephone poles with some kind of art on it (it could save the same purpose, just not as permanently) ... It's all about, like i said, just elevating and being creative and pushing the envelope.
Graffiti artists have always done just that-pushed the envelope. They have always looked for new and more interesting ways to "get up".
