From Gentle Graffiti's web site comes this description:
 
"I am a baby of a zine, I hope for a short shelf-life, to be handled by lots of folks, touched with kindness, and not to be tossed after the first ten minutes and never approached again. I am a wallflower for now. Secretly, I want to be loved for my appearances only. I am that shallow."
 
  
Gentle Graffiti currently has 3 issues released in print, as well as an online version that serves as an extension of the printed version from contributors Stephanie deSocio, Alison Schreck, Ross McDermott, and Lex Robertson.
