Ah, the freaky surprises of city living.
Walked downstairs this morning to find my U-Haul tagged with the cryptic graffiti shown above. This! In sunny Park Slope! I guess the neighbors couldn't resist the temptation of a clean, white surface parked right on their street.
Too bad the tags look like the territorial pissings of a couple of schoolkids, rather than the work of a seasoned professional. Is it too much to ask for some creativity?
Sheesh.
wow, that reisser is wicked!

No these are whats known as tags man. They aren't supposed to be pieces. Their quick tags used to get your name up. What the picture you provided is, is known as a "piece" short for masterpiece.
You can't do pieces in daylight with people walking around, so to get your name up as much as possible you do quick tags, or throwups. (filled in letters)
So next time you see a tag, notice the style of their letters and appreciate it. These people are resisting societies norms.
