Henry Chalfant Vs. Mohammed Ali (NOT the boxer)

Without Henry Chalfants book, there would no such thing as graffiti-art as we know it, throughout the world, and those train journeys would be less bearable without all that colour….

    Mohamed Ali is not a graff writer. Just a toy with no style exploiting the problems with the islamic world with wack graffiti. On no angle its this guy a writer. I challenge someone to explain to me and other real writers what makes him a writer.
