Brilliantly informed, unique writing, wonderful phrasing, vocabulary with a rhythm of its own. As to the end, i gasped - and loudly. Behind most stories, goings-on, artwork of all kinds, there are reasons for being what and where they are. And thereby hangs the tale of two artists with their own extraordinary worth, like or not.
This should be read and read.. it's unusual. And, oh my - just had a thought, now i wondering about your coloured font, surely not.. or .. maybe .. ?!

The inspiration and art behind graffiti and the taggers that paint it. It's like the art of jazz, blues, now transformed by rap and hip hop, a young generations art form. An art form of the masses for the masses by the masses. It speaks, it shouts, it absorbs all the color spectrum of light.
I think you've captured it very well in this write. You've channeled the disjointed emotions and fragmented frustrations of this artist and laid it into words that reflect the art. Might be something to go deeper into, layer with more spray paint and grit of life.
