Itchy and Scratchy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I know it as the "Scrap S" or the "Sureno S" but that's just coming from a Latin American community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTheWrongWords Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Saw this drawn in my 7yo lil bro's notebook the other day. He said some white boy taught him to do it and said it was graffiti and he replied "Thats not graffiti, its just a wierd letter. Graffiti is like when you have a name and a lot different colors with spray paint!" Kids huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOU Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I was going up the escalator in the subway and right in front of me is this older man in a security uniform and a backpack full of those Ss. I was tripping out. I tried to flick them but it didn't come out. Will post later anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Blum Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 School desks, backpacks and suburban/out of the way chill spots are definitely the most likely places to view the S in its natural environment. As for backpacks, the S would most likely be rendered in white out. Not like clean, pentel tags but nasty, chunky white out brush strokes. I think im going to go start one on Drawball.
