New graffitiers are always emerging. One of the most recent is Jewman, whose introduction I noticed while riding my Citibike across East 6th Street, just past the intersection with First Avenue, outside the beloved Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins amalgamation:

Graffiti or, hate crime? http://qns.com/story/2016/11/28/anti-semitic-graffiti-scrawled-onto-side-ridgewood-building-weekend/ Anti-Semitic graffiti scrawled onto the side of a Ridgewood building over the weekend
ReplyDeleteI thought about that myself, but it has all the trappings of a graffiti "tag", as they call it in the business. Sill, I haven't seen any others since, so it's hard to say. You can be sure East Village Today will be keeping an eye out!
DeleteLike you said - it could be someone expressing pride in their ethnicity. Whoever it is does get around - the EV, Ridgewood - who knows where else?
DeleteTo be honest, I didn't look at the link you posted until just now! I thought it was going to be swastikas or something unlike what I posted. I have a graffitier friend — I'll ask her if she knows anything about it.
DeleteIt is the same tag as what you posted. Interesting that is graffiti in one place and is interpreted differently elsewhere. It will be cool to finds out from your friend what is who.
DeleteI asked Jodo on Instagram, and she said: "I think it's friends with moser" then gave the link to "moserology" on Instagram, then said: "Moser it's a tagged + studio artist".
DeleteThanks for following up, EVT! That is a tough tag. Someone may be expressing pride in their heritage, but then someone of the same heritage taking umbrage with it.
DeleteSure! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
