Comic/ Graffiti

Graffiti is writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings, and it has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire.

In modern times, paint, particularly spray paint, and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials.

Graffiti also may express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Banksy uses his graffiti to convey his messages and to portray his works. 

Controversies that surround graffiti continue to create disagreement among city officials, law enforcement, and writers who wish to display and appreciate work in public locations. There are many different types and styles of graffiti and it is a rapidly developing art form whose value is highly contested and reviled by many authorities while also subject to protection, sometimes within the same jurisdiction.
Graffiti mainly consists of black outlines and black shading conveying 3D movement. Colour is rarely used with blacks and greys the main colours. Graffiti is usually always done on a plain background on a wall or floor. Artists like Banksy do their work on walls in cities and towns.
