"Kong" by James Jessop
Graffiti and graffito are from the Italian word graffiato ("scratched"). "Graffiti" is applied in Art History to works of art produced by scratching a design into a surface. A related term is "graffito", or "sgrafitto," which involves scratching through one layer of pigment to reveal another beneath it. This technique was primarily used by potters who would glaze their wares and then scratch a design into it. In ancient times graffiti was carved on walls with a sharp object, although sometimes chalk or coal were used. The word originates from Greek γράφειν — graphein — meaning "to write." Graffiti has existed since ancient times with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire!!
