Vintage 1973 El Marko has become El Scribo thanks to @Scribe.Guy
If you want to be technical about things it's El Escriba I suppose or El Scribe-O if you're going for the marketing aspect but I think El Scribo is perfect. I personally love scribes and glass/metal etch because of the permanence or at least the theoretical idea of permanence, that if one puts up enough tags in enough places, by the time the Grim Reaper comes calling it's not unthinkable that some of them will run forever because not every business or town,city, municipality, county, whatever has the budget to replace entire windows/mirrors or panes of glass every month or remove and replace every street sign or metal surface that's been touched by chemicals then you get into the stuff like handheld battery operated Dremel tools and pretty soon the idea of your name being visible and spoken and thought about long after you've passed isn't an idea anymore it's a reality than nobody can ignore.
Sure most will just look at it and think "what an asshole thinking everyone wants to see his stupid name everywhere, just a vandal at the end of the day, I can't even read this shit" but the point is they saw it, I made it, I was here, I mattered, the love given and received, the tragedy and trauma, the good and the bad, this was a person, an individual who thought and spoke and lived like everyone else yet unlike us he has crossed the threshold we all know waits for us to step over one day whether we like it or not, an entire life of living condensed into a single tag repeated ad infinitum until they couldn't any longer but that's just my own ignorant opinion. Hope y'all are all doing well. I've been having a rough time the past couple months.
