verb

[with object] (usually as adjective graffitied)

"Graffiti is revolutionary, in my opinion and any revolution might be considered a crime. People who are oppressed or suppressed need an outlet, so they write on walls -- it's free." -- Terrance Lindall, executive director of the Williamsburg Art and Historic Center
