Probably just somebody's signature. It's not usually gonna mean anything except maybe to that person. There's all kinds of tags you'll see over and over again. For a while somebody was throwing up a ditto (the Pokemon) all over the place

I’m pretty sure it’s the local graffiti artist POUT. It’s just a graffiti character. Kid is probably young as the skill level is modest but it’s slowly getting better. Could be ANTBOI but I don’t think it is the same person.

You can see POUT written as the eyebrows. 🐱

Most of us started young, honed our craft, and improved over the years… glad to hear you just dropped out of the womb throwing A+ bombs and showcasing your top tier can control.

Either that or you watched a quick documentary on YouTube, heard the term “can control” and have been waiting in the shadows for the opportunity to criticize someone, whilst using that term.

Since you appear to be saying you've been going out and spray painting other people's property for years, let me take this opportunity to dispel your delusion that you are Banksy, and furthermore, you can go fuck yourself.

That also goes for anyone else reading this who tags shit up.

You sound like a person who is literally covered in spray paint at this moment as the result of some kind of bizarre assault. I can’t think of any other reason for somebody to be remotely as emotional and upset, while making assumptions about a strangers hobby. Whatever they did to you I apologize for.

As far as my situation, art has always been a hobby that I kept on the back burner because I was too worried about people like you making fun of me. I grew up an athlete and a decent student so the graffiti subculture was pretty much the opposite of my social existence. I was fortunate to have a father who was a builder and allowed me to use whatever scrap plywood, particle board, Sheetrock, etc as my canvas. I’m not going to lie and say I’ve never tagged anything, but I never got very deep into the illegal side of things. Nowadays I do a lot of free work for different local nonprofits and charity organizations who solicit my work. It’s a win-win as far as I’m concerned as it gives me an opportunity to enjoy my hobby and express myself while also giving these organizations that make our city better a tangible expression of support.

Have you ever considered asking questions before you make one of these rage-driven attempts at pointing someone out as some sort of art-based terrorist?

Also, nobody in the graffiti world gives a shit about Banksy.

I mean that's great if you're talented and putting up pieces for people who patronize you. And I'm glad to hear you practiced on disposable plywood rather than other people's property. But murals are not tags and my ire is reserved for those who have the unmitigated gall to put up a signature (tag) on literally nothing at all. The signature alone is not art, it's just vanity and vandalism.

Also for anyone confused, I did not make the top comment of this chain and delete it, that was somebody else.

Also also, I think that guy who said "can control" in the deleted comment was making a Simpsons reference.

Theyre people who post on reddit about wondering if tags have a deeper negative meaning of course they're going to vilify people who tag and people who like graffiti without knowing anything about them first

Does anyone know who makes the little ghosts or rail quails?

Barstomanid t1_ja6is59 wrote

Supposedly the original Sad Ghost guy died a while back, so people put them up as sort of a tribute all over the east coast. I've seen them as far south as Richmond, VA, and I used to see them everywhere around town when I lived in Philly. I would assume the artist had some connection to Philly - there's one of them on a railway embankment near Sullivan that's superimposed on a map of Pennsylvania with a little heart on Philly.

There's a TON of them around metro west right now, so I assume someone local is doing it as a tribute or something.

Oh I love these! They are definitely my favorite graffiti to see throughout the city. I don't know what it means beyond a really cute personal tag. I have seen it at basically every part of the city and some suburbs, and in some impressive places too. That person seriously gets around
