THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL

Suppose you were to search the Internet using the keywords: 'graffiti' and 'map' - the chances are you'd either be looking to get rid of graffiti by lodging your graffiti-grievance on a map, or if you're a more half-full type of individual, you'd actually be trying to locate cool graffiti in the area. However, Graffiti Map Art is a worthwhile search topic in its own right. I'm not saying that it's ostensibly a good thing to deface public property; but there is some sort of ironic merit in imprinting the representation of a place, onto the actual geography of the place. I'm sure Banksy would approve anyway.
