Description: In May 1978, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Al Diaz started to put up the first SAMO© graffiti in Manhattan. They wrote phrases with marker pens and often with an ironic copyright symbol attached. SAMO was primarily written on buildings, but they also did it in elevators, public toilets, and on the D train in the New York City Subway. On December 11, 1978, The Village Voice published an article about the SAMO graffiti.; Description source
