This is an ode to one of my favorite civilian graffiti symbols. Sometimes referred to as the Stussy S, i always called it the metal S, as it reminded me of Megadeth letters. This bad boy is right up there with a peace sign, the wu tang symbol and a poorly proportioned weed leaf of things that are found spray painted on bridges in America. I cant tell you how many of these i saw scrawled on trapper keepers and bookbags throughout my childhood. What did you call this thing? Do you even know what im talking about?

Dude said he seen that shit drawn on Trapper Keepers, dating yourself there dawg but it's all good because I remember that shit too, pretty sure that was before Stussy, or at least before Stussy got popular. I remember the skater kids drew that shit along w/ the Rat Bones logo.

 

Stay tuned for future installments featuring 4:20, Anarchy, and Fuck The Police. Civilian graf=LOL material.

We used to draw that same "S" in elementary on things. Desks, bungalows, papers, etc. Never knew what it meant but I thought of it as a "Stussy S" since I think I saw it on some Stussy clothing as well.

 

Anyone know the history of it? Around what time period it came about? I know it's at least since the 80's since I saw it on some Basquiat art.

something like this is what i wouldve typically drew at that age, but id have thrown in way more machines, foot soldiers, gore, & general variety because i was locked in a prison called school

 

i always started with some kind of landscape, then drew around it

 

then i found kidpix
