"CORNBREAD"

In the 40's Kilroy Was Here. In the late 60's and early 70's there was CORNBREAD. Phillies grand daddy of modern day graffiti. Thats right NY, he's the guy who started the writing on the wall. Darryl A. McCray " Cornbread" to me, started spraying his name as a way to get attention of a certain girl. (go figure). By the time he was done he had tagged every subway, trolly and bus route in Philly , not to mention a few police cars and wagons, just for fun. His biggest feats though were tagging the side of the elephant in the Philly Zoo, the top floor of a skyscraper being constructed right near City Hall, and the Jackson 5's jet (thats right he did lil michael jackson's and his brothers plane) when it landed in the "city of brotherly love" for a concert. It was still there when they returned to California.
....... but in the end he had to scrub clean every wall in Philly with his name on it. Today he's 52, still lives in Philly and works keeping youngsters from doing as he did in his prime. ....... but i gotta tell ya it was something to see, everywhere u went, he was there. I know cause i was there. HAHAHAHA !!! .....or was I?
Also, wanna thank everyone who gave me ideas as to how to finish the bottonm pic, in last weeks post. I did 2 both are posted now on my other blog, if anyone cares to look at some bad art.
