Well, I guess if the artist says it's graffiti, then it's graffiti. I guess I just don't think of it that way ... probably never will.
And sorry, Nate ... I see you posted something, but all I see is a big old blank space. The "Merely Average" was, of course, meant as a joke, and you of all people will understand a joke.
