Description

Featuring interviews with oldschool writers Part 1 and Snake 1, pioneers of the early 70s New York writing scene, and essays on tags and calligraphy, Tag Town is the first book to show early tags in their context. Even in the early 70s, all the basic forms that still appear in modern graffiti writers' work, were there. Tag Town is a lesson in reading tags for beginners, and an eureka moment for the experienced writer.
