Graffiti to Go
Graffiti taggers and artists have been putting Krylon to
all sorts of vehicles all over New York City for years. But for some reason
these ubiquitous delivery trucks in Chinatown seem to get
"bombed" the most. This vehicle, parked on the Bowery near
East Broadway, sports a large, colorful "throw-up" by "Wasier"
(or is it "Wasieir," with a second, small "i"), as well
as several other small tags. After a while, you start to
recognize some variations of the same tags on other trucks and see the same
trucks again as they travel to and from the
hundreds of small factories and warehouses in Chinatown.
