I see these words "PK" or "Kid PK" all over buildings, trains, trucks, bridges or whatever else is available in north Jersey and was wondering if anyone else notices it as well. It looks decent and well done but of course it's illegal. Is he (or she, or they) still doing this stuff or is it old? Just curious

What I'd really also love to know is who the fugg is ILADOMEN or OMENILAD that I see all over Essex and Hudson Counties. I mean like, literally, everywhere. Is it an artist? A gang? Does it stand for something?

 

EDIT: Upon a quick google, it seems Omen Ilad and Kid PK are rivals of sorts? Wait, no, it seems they are the same guy?

 

And this is his Facebook?

We need some pics

Wasn't me.

Basically all you gotta do is drive to the Holland tunnel and you will see Omenilad on everything

Clicking on one of those pics led to this:

F*cking scumbags.

I've met PK before, as well as Savior. When I was in my teens, I used to hangout with some girls from 'that area' and she was around them every now and then. PK's work isn't that great, it's mostly just tags or plain-jane bubbles. He is more known for spraying areas that are unique or hard to get to. Savior had some nice work, very detailed depending on where it was.

 

Call them scumbags, but a lot of graff arists are super talented. Yes, they are defacing things but I do enjoy looking at it, especially seeing someones 'new' work somewhere.

Tagging (a quick 'tag', usually with a fat pen or can) is crap and looks like garbage, especially in NYC trains where the inside walls are just covered with black pen writing. It is nothing compared to big burners you see under bridges that kids spend up to an hour on. It's funny when the State comes by and buffs an area (like under the bridges on 287 or 78), then a couple days later you have the die hards already re-doing their work.

What about the tag "narc" anyone know anything about that? Its all over even seen it on the turnpike in a few spots

They are scumbags and it looks like dogshit. It makes an area appear run down.

 

This is what should happen:

 

I remember seeing PK all over Staten Island.

malsua I couldn't agree any more. If you have that little respect for other peoples property, you should have to face consequences not be glorified on a forum.

PK kid would that be PK09..

the only place I see "PK" is on NJGF! -he's tagged all over it!

While I don't advocate defacing public space, the history of graffiti shows that it is more then some punks tagging a wall or two. Long story short, to see it's effect on social and geo-political change all over the world throughout the history of human civilization is quite interesting. Of course I'm referring to the "Kilroy was Here", the Sicilians usage of graffiti, Berlin Wall, Sao Paulo/Brazilian artists, Arab Springs, Ireland, West Bank, Banksy, etc., and not necessarily gang sign tagging (which I would best compare to a dog marking a spot by pissing on it).

I'm not saying I agree with any of what these artists are trying to do, but to dismiss their work as nothing but scribbles has obviously not worked as their graffiti has and continues to inspire.

There's a huge difference between resistance movements and some punk dickbag out tagging "art" because he's been abandoned by his baby daddy. There is no moral equivalence between the two.

 

The only thing it inspires is more graffiti. It could easily be stopped. Public flogging if caught would be a good start.

this is what I consider art although it is grafitti.......

 

These are done by stupid arsed punks... nowhere near the status of "artist"

Yes, I made the distinction between the subgenres in my initial post

I made it because I know a lot of people personally who never really were aware of the art-graffiti, and instead have only ever seen the tag signs by gangs and punks that litter our urbanized area-- and thus create some half-truth of graffiti.

its just getto crap, some happen to be artists.

I actually like it, on old buildings, stuctures or bridges. NOT on new construction.

I will agree that some of it looks like dogshit as what I said in my previous post, but I will not say all of them are scumbags.

 

I think BBK put it well with his last line of his post. It might all be defacing property, but there are a lot of different styles of graffiti. Some is gang related, some is 'ghetto' crap, some is revolutionary, some is quirky, and some is funny. Sure, you can generalize them as graffiti but gang tagging is much different than Bansky let's say, in my opinion.

 

Good luck stopping it by the way. That's like saying the U.S. can stop the illegal drug trade without taxing or legalizing drugs. A lot of the 'good' artists you see around have never been caught. Look at Banksy, one of the world's most well known street artists. He still has yet to be caught and he has stenciled areas no one would ever have dared, even putting up his own artwork in famous museums.
