A dye is a colored substance that has an affinity to the substrate to which it is being applied. The dye is generally applied in an aqueous solution, and requires a mordant to improve the fastness of the dye on the fiber.
Both dyes and pigments appear to be colored because they absorb some wavelengths of light more than others. In contrast with a dye, a pigment generally is insoluble, and has no affinity for the substrate. Some dyes can be precipitated with an inert salt to produce a lake pigment, and based on the salt used they could be aluminum lake, calcium lake or barium lake pigments.
Dyed flax fibers have been found in the Republic of Georgia dated back in a prehistoric cave to 36,000 BP.Archaeological evidence shows that, particularly in India and Phoenicia, dyeing has been widely carried out for over 5,000 years. The dyes were obtained from animal, vegetable or mineral origin, with no or very little processing. By far the greatest source of dyes has been from the plant kingdom, notably roots, berries, bark, leaves and wood, but only a few have ever been used on a commercial scale.
TAKI 183 was one of the most influential graffiti writers in its history. His "tag" was short for Demetaki, a Greek alternative for his birth-name Demetrius, and the number 183 came from his address on 183rd Street in Washington Heights. He worked as a foot messenger in New York City and would write his nickname around the streets of New York City that he frequented during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
On July 21, 1971, The New York Times ran an article about him on the front page of its inside section, titled "Taki 183" Spawns Pen Pals. TAKI 183 spurred competitive vandalism in NYC as his tag was mimicked by hundreds of youth across the five boroughs. The kids who got their names up the most and who developed signature tags, became known in their communities. Graffiti became a way for many young kids to try to get attention and the attention TAKI 183 received spurred this on.
Although TAKI 183 was the first to be showcased in a publication it is said that Julio 204 began writing his tag in NYC first. However Julio did not write outside his own neighborhood and this is arguably the reason why he never received the media-attention TAKI did.[citation needed]
The walls so high and you won't feel
The moon is always spying on your fears
I make it to the golden geek and fail
So then you throw your fantasy away to fade
Oh and I take
Take it in vain
So I fake
Fake it again
To Tokyo network stocks I stream
All of my wasted dreams on the screen
Oh and I take
Take it in vain
So I fake
Fake it again
Couldn't I
Not take in pain
Couldn't I
Not fake it again
Can't I not take in pain
Can't I not fake it again
I've sent my heart away
The walls so high and you
won't feel
The moon is always spying on
your fears
I make it to the golden geek
and fail
So then you throw your fantasy away
to fade
Oh and I take,
take it in vain
So I fake,
fake it again
To Tokyo network stocks
I stream
All of my wasted dreams on
the screen
Oh and I take,
take it in vain
So I fake,
fake it again
Could I
not take it in vain? Oh,
could I
not fake it again?
Can't I
not take it in pain? Oh,
can't I
not fake it again?
I've sent my heart away,
like heroes in the rain
