Where can I learn about graffiti for my next project?

Question

My next project is to design (as a vector graphic) a logo inspired by the so-called layer style of graffiti. As such, I need to learn as much as I can about this particular graffiti style.

It would also be useful to have an online reference for graffiti-inspired graphics in any upcoming projects... Are there any out there?

Answer 1

There's a fairly comprehensive article in Wikipedia. The article is a good start, but spend time going through the first party references in the citations. What may also be helpful is the accompanying article on Grafitti terminology.
