Berlin, Germany: Berlin has a long and well-established history of public artworks. Some, like the Berlin Wall, are public legal works that speak to the history of the city. But there is also a strong illegal Graffiti scene that speaks to the new Berlin.CORNBREAD was going viral decades before that term was invented. His legend about who, what, where, when, and why he was writing his name serves as a pre-cursor to contemporary artists like Banksy. On one occasion, CORNBREAD opened the newspaper and it stated he had been shot to death in the head on 40th and Filbert Street. Graffiti Art takes the techniques and methodologies behind street Graffiti and applies them to other mediums. At the same time, all Graffiti can be considered art.

This synergy between early graffiti writers and gangs became known as the"Philadelphia Gang Hand."

With his rising acclaim, CORNBREAD transitioned from markers to spray paint, marking a significant evolution that would forever shape the graffiti landscape.
