I was the only person in the city of Philadelphia who wrote their name in spray paint for the purpose of establishing a reputation for myself," CORNBREAD proclaimed in Wall Writers: Graffiti in its Innocence. "In fact, I was the only person in the world who was writing their name in spray paint on city walls for the purpose of establishing a reputation for themselves." By the age of 12, CORNBREAD was already becoming a prominent figure in the world of graffiti. While the phrase "Kilroy was Here" had already made its rounds, CORNBREAD introduced an artistic flair that breathed new life into the urban landscape.

By 12, CORNBREAD was writing his name all over the city. While we certainly saw earlier examples of people writing things on public property — most notably "Kilroy was Here" — he was amongst the first to do it with flare. Falko grew up in a poor family in Cape Town. His grandfather was a janitor, and his mother worked as a bookkeeper. “I’m the first one in my family to finish high school and do something different,” he says. Graffiti became a thrilling competition of one-upmanship, driving artists to explore the possibilities of spray paint's boldness. As others took note of the impact of spray paint, CORNBREAD set his sights on hard-to-reach locations, fueling his quest for media attention. Tai has done many, many movies. She's used to makeup," said Kari Johnson, co-owner of Have Trunk, Will Travel. Graffiti can be criminal, political, humorous, or even beautiful.

When McCray was released from the YDC, he went to Strawberry Mansion Junior High School. There, he developed a crush on a girl named Cynthia Custuss. To win her attention, he wrote “Cornbread Loves Cynthia” all over North Philadelphia. After winning over Cynthia, he continued tagging North Philadelphia. During the apartheid years (1948-1994), Falko witnessed segregation at close quarters. “The art of graffiti was restricted to a small area of Cape Town, and there was no mixing between races. Art was our entertainment and something constructive for us to do and stay out of trouble. Post 1994, we could mix with the white kids, and graffiti developed rapidly as we pooled our collective knowledge of art,” he says. Animals communicate in a variety of ways but the most obvious of these, to humans at least, is their body language. Anyone can learn to read the body language of animals to differing degrees – we spend our lives figuring out the complexities of human communication and animals are far less equivocal than human beings. With their complex social structure and high intelligence, not to mention their potential danger to humans, elephants are an excellent place to start. A little practice and some observational skills are all that’s needed to understand the basics. In turn, this understanding can add immeasurably to the enjoyment of an elephant sighting or ensure comfort for elephants and those viewing them.
