    I used to see his/her tags all over the place a few years ago but I haven't seen a new tag in well maybe nearly ten years... I'm sure most of you have seen the old tags a lot of which are gone now still some around I would say.

    I just randomly remembered him and thought I'd ask.

    Good question. Not sure whether the tagging scene is still alive - a few of them were prosecuted over the years.

    Puberty would be my guess

    Well he was active from the late 90s to around 07/08, I can remember noticing his tags as a schoolboy it was usually followed by "drop" or ICN back then. There is a lot of rumors regarding him some people say he fled the country and is now living in australia or berlin or some other place depending on the source.

    Was just wondering if anyone ever knew for definite what became of him? was he ever identified???

    Whatever it was I hope it was slow and painful.

    Hopefully he was identified and prosecuted for defacing public property.

    And if street art and graffiti were the same thing, you might have a point.
