In the early 1970s, a new phenomenon popped up on the streets of Philadelphia and NYC. Lettering; scratched, scrawled, painted or marked, in any manner on public property were spotted around the cities. The youth had discovered a new way to get fame – by bombing the city.
Referred to as bombing, this sub culture uses marker pens, spraycans,
roller paint and other fluid colors, as tools to get your name on any type of
surface that your city may offer. A great bomber is one who is dedicated to
hitting up the city, not only as a daily chore, but also with style.
Tags & Throws focus on capturing the bombing scene of the world today.
