Cornbread (1953)

Widely considered the world’s first modern graffiti artist, starting with a unique tagging style in 1965. His first big ‘campaign’ was "Cornbread Loves Cynthia", a bold declaration of love for a girl in his class. He wrote it everywhere along their walking route home. Other notorious acts by Cornbread include tagging the Jackson 5 touring jet and tagging a living elephant in the Philadelphia Zoo.
