however, i totally support the ‘muralists’ in calling out the little shits who are scribbling on works of art. Tagging is the easiest, simplest, and most recognized style of graffiti. The transient nature of graffiti means your shit is gonna get painted over or someone is gonna slap a stencil on it – that’s how it works. They strive to be able to do their tag very quickly and they also seek to be recognized for artistic merit. ‘Getting up’ refers to getting his or her tag in as many places in the city as they can, and as high up in the city as they are able. we’ve got a common goal and it is to make the walls less boring! JThe Difference between Gang and Tagger Graffiti A ‘tagger’s’ main goal is to ‘Get Up.’. I’m trying really hard not to make gross generalizations here but either way, ANYONE who knows anything about graffiti, wheatpasting, tagging, whatever, knows that while it is a competition in some regards, we’re all in this together. Additionally 9.5 million are wasted by L.A.
the ones who are just doing it for shits and giggles will most likely quit sooner rather than later. The RTD (L.A.’s bus system) spends over 14 million and CALTRANS spends 2.5 million, a year on repairing and removing tagger vandalism. These are used to carry cans of spray-paint, various colors and types of magic markers, etching tools, slap tags and cameras to take photos of their taggings. someone who paints their name or a special mark on buildings. Taggers are a different breed, some of them actually care for their work as an artist would – meaning they put time and energy into the aesthetic of their scrawl. grew up in the burbs so i used to spend a lot of time on message boards and the like, talking with kids everywhere about making the streets prettier. I’ve been painting on the streets for almost 7 years now.
