He first gained interest in
graffiti as a young reen after seeing graffiti in Chicago and New
York City. He then came across
copies of graffiti magazines and
eventually developed his own
tags to put up around town.
''It's a fonn of modem arl; it's
abstraction in letter fonn. Graffiti goes against the classical
aspect of painting and academics," he said.
In Iowa City, WAC estimates
that there are approximately 1012 different taggers, seven of
whom write frequently. These
taggers compete with each other
in a proctice called battling, in
which one tagger marks over the
tag of another - a grave insull
But unlike most artistic circles, these taggers don't know
any more about each other than
what they write on the wall.
"I could be sitting in class next
to a tagger whom rm having a
battle with and not even know
that it's him."
However, the law comes into
play when artistic expression
infringes on property rights.
Defacing public property in the
form of graffiti constitutes criminal mischief, ao offense that
ranges in severity from a simple
to serious misdemeanor, said
Iowa City police Sgt. Brian Krei.
The crime is punishable by a fine
of roughly $150, including restitution. However, severe property
defacement can land larger fines
and possible jail time.
Writing graffiti on public
property brings immediate
charges of criminal mischief,
while recourse for defacement of
private property depends on
individual property owners,
Krei said.
"Just the mere fact that you
get caught by the cops doing
[graffiti] doesn't necessarily
mean that you're going to get
charged," he said.
