Graffiti Research Lab’s Evan Roth (aka Ni9e, whom you might remember from that open source jay-z vid) unveils online interactive visual project, Graffiti Taxonomy, where you can interact with isolated reproductions of actual graf characters taken from the streets.
Graffiti Taxonomy presents isolated letters from various graffiti tags, reproduced in similar scales and at close proximity. The intent of these studies is to show the diversity of styles as expressed in a single character. In these photographs, the ‘S’ is reproduced from photographs of tags taken in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, while the ‘A’ is reproduced from tags from Central Park North to 125th St. in Harlem.
