\nfor all my . . ‘insider’ writers !!
\nand p.s. YES, I think I was<\/strong> the first to substitute ‘tagger’ for ‘writer’ . . re street artists, esp those who purely ‘wrote’, or ‘tagged’, their custom scribbles and codes . . all over town. . . . to avoid confusion in a mainstream media.
\nI mean writers were not exactly ‘literary wirters . . byt they werent exactly v artist either. taggers made sense.<\/p>\n

I’ve actually got a pretty big 35mm photo archive of ‘pure’ and, mostly undecipherable tags, mostly from downtown Lower Manhattan . . going aall the way back to 1981 !!
\nmaybe some day, I’ll put out a book.
\nmaybe I’ll call it: tags I have known . . !! <\/p>\n

\nWEST 24th STREET, CHELSEA, NYC.<\/p>\n

‘JESUS SAVES’ and ‘STAY HIGH’ are two of my favs . . just because they come straight up from the native-born hoods . . before they were gentrified . . and they never or haven’t yet, received huge success or recognition.
\nSTAY HIGH passed away a few years ago, and was as hard core as they come. but JESUS SAVES, of a slightly younger generation, is still out there.
\nand apparently, he’s still interested in the art scene, proper !!
\nmaybe he caught the LOREN MUNK show opening, because that’s when I caught the tag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
