Real, Authentic Graffiti

Following a bit of research into 1960's era graffiti for Musical Theatre's production of Little Shop of Horrors, I discovered/remembered that the art form was at a very primitive stage and so decided that I was more than qualified to apply the spray painted stuff and would open up the faux concrete stairs to contributions from any student who wished to participate. Members of the tech crew had the first go at it - the 2 girls who initially heard my offer gasped 'really??!' ran off to grab markers. I overheard one of them saying "I feel like such a rebel!"
I've warned them that their creation may be obscured by later graffiti but they already knew that it'll have to be layered to achieve the most authentic look possible.
