Graffiti artists create a 'Tag Name'
for themselves,
a sort of self-invention. Like other artists,
they want their name to be 'out there'~~
to make their name and their art
widely known and recognizable.
'Tag' to fit in a business-sized envelope. (above)
Used graffiti style lettering and images.
Craft acrylic paint, Zig pen,
and white gel pen. Inspired by
a graffiti wall with many layers of paint...

Back of tag.
Origami paper, scrapbook paper,
crayon resist & acrylic,
Zig pen & white gel pen.
The tag is to be removed
from the painted/stenciled
envelope below.
Letters stenciled directly onto
envelope painted with acrylics,
and also onto other pieces of
cardstock, then glued on.
Crayon and pen markings
added to background.
These are all part of the Scrappy Green Journal.
Elizabeth had included the yellow
Police Line tape, and I thought
"Why not Graffiti?"
I drew the little 'cartoon kid',
applied watercolor, then inked in.
