Minneapolis man here. There isn't a single abandoned building that you won't find a United Crushers write. I personally know some of the UC crew and their super cool guys. They hit a shit ton of visible bridges and billboards too. The oldest crew in MN.
Edit: they also run their own spray paint shop downtown. Pretty wild
Edit 2: [United Crushers Mill](https://g.co/kgs/DRVk6k), pretty crazy
Edit 3: Last one lol. Here's their [shop](https://g.co/kgs/CBPRDM). Like 6 bucks a normal can
Really? I see them often, and the puzzle pieces. But I think Fried is just one dude, UC marked the mill next to the U of M. The kids call it pignut or something
By the stadium? I haven’t been on campus in years lol. As I’m getting older I pretty much just drive to work and back home so I don’t really cover a ton of area.
Historic shit + public property (where I'm from city tax dollars are used to buff transit clean right away)... seems like a dickhead enough that doesn't even know tagging etiquette
Berlin, Germany but they are a crew so they manage to get up a lot, all over the world. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9V18HUoZcc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9V18HUoZcc)
The fuzz doesn't like acid etch on the Graff squad whips windshield...
And his prime was 25 years ago...
He was a demon. Got up HIGH (We have a lot of big bridges)
Google him.
He was out of Pittsburgh. He tagged an impossible to climb bridge. When the Graffiti Squad came out to investigate, they looked at it, said, nope, and went back to their squad cars which he just acid etched. Got arrested right after that.
412!
Mook was definitely prolific. He was public enemy #1 back in the day....on the news, in the paper... "who is he?" "How'd he get up there?"... cuzz was making pizzas right there the whole time. Definitely one of the burghs OG can rattlers...
I remember when he got got... they were SOOOOO PROUD... had me blue for a minute... they went SUPER hard on him too...they said "make an example" but fr it was just bc he left them looking foolish EVERYWHERE for the longest... when he knocked the rides... LEGENDARY!
My favorite was the TOP of the 10th street Bridge. It got buffed forever ago, but it definitely had legs (I think the city was too scared to go up there!) I think it sports a little 🦕 now (it might have gotten buffed too, but that's the last I remember up there)
SOFLES is from my hometown Brisbane, Australia.
OKIES, NWO crew, WTCS crew, NCB, EIKAS, TUESY, JIESKIE, DTS crew, FIVES, FOUR, - ALL Aussie writers. List goes on.

Here in CT we have legends like SODA149, REO, IRM, but my all time favorite is a writer from up north named ICHABOD. No need to explain. He's the king of freights, you know, like real graff. Not highway signs or any of that wack shit, dude smashes freights like no other. Further south I would say TRIKE and PK are my all time favorites. And of course KEZ5 (R.I.P.) and JA is a given, but ICHABOD is a beast. He's my all time favorite.💀And as far as my new favorite next gen writer, TES One been holding it down for CT for a minute now. Kiddo goes hard. But there's so many, would take me a while to name them all, from New England to New Jersey. BRASK, SERE, DAZER, NOE, HERALD, PESO, HORK, RUSTE, AUDI, KWOTE, the list goes dumb long.
Sac town goes hard af with the graff scene. Not to mention the Deftones are one of my all time favorite bands! (Chi R.I.P. 🙏) Pretty cool your seeing ICH freights out your way. Nice!
We've been getting a ton of cars down from Canady lately, lots of killer stuff! Them SDK dudes go hard, been following them for a minute now. Connecticut is a crossroad for freight lines coming from all over the US, been benching cars since the late 80's, I definitely miss the freight scene in the early 90's, and it's crazy to catch old pieces on cars taken out of storage yards and put back into service. Came across some nice stuff at one of the P&W maintenance yards a few weeks ago, It's literally history on wheels! I've even caught some of my old shit on the Rail Fan channel, old and faded, but what a trip back in time! 🚂 😎
That’s dope. I’m a fan of graffiti and what most would call a toy in terms of my own contributions but that doesn’t mean I don’t love it. Love feeling your enthusiasm in your posts. Do you have a social media where you post flicks or anything
Round outer Eastern Melbourne there's a dick head called "oops" literally just goes around crossing everyone for no reason other then to start beef, so fuckibg pointless
There are a few that seemingly have hit every intersection/abandoned building for miles and miles of central Austin. BUSCAR being one of the more infamous, fucker hits tags, throws and large pieces every where it seems. Hardly an intersection you don't spot at least a tag on a curb etc. Police have had a reward on who ever it is for over a year and no luck lol Another one that's all over is STENCH, AD6 is another I see often. I don't follow the scene super closely outside of appreciating the antisystem art, so not sure how far these writers are known but locally everyone knows their tags. BUSCAR is probably the best known, news stories etc on their work.
Lived in Quincy for seven years and saw him everywhere during his run. Great stuff from him and hitting all the best Boston layups. Thanks for posting!

Well he got busted and put up with a 14,000 something fine, but a bunch of writers and record stores had this event to raise money so good thing it didn’t ruin the lads life
In my country there's a really well known tagger who's tag is CSO which is the shortcut for the law against vandalism. There is also a crew called the weird crew who just like suggested in their name make huge pieces in chill spots with weird characters. You can't find CSO online but the weird crew have a few pieces uploaded onto reddit and other platforms by other people and their work is definitely worth checking out
In my city we have RIZE. You cant go a block without finding two of his throws and his tags basically litter every surface in the town. My friends met him once and he was super chill.
it’s like famous for having a bad reputation, which a big graffiti artist would have, no? it’s a largely illegal art form and some artists like the one in my post paint things that are considered important by some and thus they gain infamy.
My town has SCAR TASKO RARE FADE and every Miami writer that I guess stops here for gas on the way out of Florida. I used to see Blob Dylan, Never Fart and triple butt all over but almost never see them now. Probably moved or gave up
There's a guy or girl name ICH (ichabod) who I see fairly regularly not sure if he/she has any notoriety but there work is top notch. This is mainly around Boston.
I acknowledge the act of writing and the art within the act, but the spirit of writing is different , from haiku to novels stories are being told, which one rarely sees in tag art.
Not really cause my city insists on painting ugly off color paint over all of the art by the morning (I myself lost a lot of beautiful work to the broken windows theory) however OP probably works in a kitchen with all the Heards in the replies

VAYNE in Atlanta, GA

Feels like all I see these days is fried. At least on 35w corridor/downtown
Really? I see them often, and the puzzle pieces. But I think Fried is just one dude, UC marked the mill next to the U of M. The kids call it pignut or something
By the stadium? I haven’t been on campus in years lol. As I’m getting older I pretty much just drive to work and back home so I don’t really cover a ton of area.
Yea I'm pretty sure. Recently they've been busting into it and the owner got so sick of it he's just sitting on it lol
that’s crazy, maybe i’ve seen UC before but not to my recollection. WARDN, ENSUE, TORGA, LURK, & Kofe are all writers i saw up a lot.
Yo what’s their store called ?
United Art Supply
that’s dope!
Also there is this dude called mad dog lmao. He just draws this weird looking dog everywhere lmao
love the dog moniker
there are some dudes like that around here too that just do faces
Cigar is the biggest piece of shit on the planet
🍿
RemindMe 2days
really? what did he do besides paint on historic shit?
Probably because he’s from Revere. Most of us are huge pieces of shit.
lmao fair enough
Historic shit + public property (where I'm from city tax dollars are used to buff transit clean right away)... seems like a dickhead enough that doesn't even know tagging etiquette
yeah, hence the infamy. he had cool pieces but definitely a lack of respect
Facts. He got chased out of every city he has been in. Word on the street he is a Snitch
1 U P
like the European crew?
yep , Berlin
sick!
Few of his around STL. Is he from St. Louis?
Berlin, Germany but they are a crew so they manage to get up a lot, all over the world. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9V18HUoZcc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9V18HUoZcc)
They’re way over rated lmao.
There's a handful in London. Just to name a few, 10foot,Fatzoo,Flash,Jason,Tox,Zonk I believe most if not all of them are DDS crew members
PORK in NZ and Australia. He's also up in some other countries.
that’s a dope name lol

My man Mook... Thanks for the reminder...
something happen to him?
The fuzz doesn't like acid etch on the Graff squad whips windshield... And his prime was 25 years ago... He was a demon. Got up HIGH (We have a lot of big bridges) Google him.
heard that, lol. I’ll definitely check him out! he still doing time or just retired? also, which city? there’s a couple famous Mooks it looks like
He was out of Pittsburgh. He tagged an impossible to climb bridge. When the Graffiti Squad came out to investigate, they looked at it, said, nope, and went back to their squad cars which he just acid etched. Got arrested right after that.
damnnnn how unfortunate

I saw that picture come up on Google, that’s absolutely insane
I build bridges for a living. He was a kid, in the dark, I was impressed... Balls of steel
I used to see his stuff everywhere!
