Edited Collection Article

McCormick, Carlo. "Rules of the Game ." Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art. Taschen Benedikt Verlag Gmbh, 2010. 20-51. Print. This article focuses on the social impacts of graffiti on the writers and the property owners. Graffiti was viewed as vandalism by most people, however the writers saw it as a form of expression. The war on graffiti did not stop the writers from continuing their passion. The article is followed by several graffiti pieces around New York which revealed the youth's feelings towards society, and could be considered inspirational. For example, one graffiti illustrated a man walking on a bridge while he was on fire. The artist maybe wanted to show that we will always have stressful problems throughout the journey of life.
