Post what you feel: Really dope grafitti taxonomy (video)

grafitti taxonomy

Evan Roth took the time to catalog a bunch of letter styles from various tags around Paris, France and created a taxonomy of sorts for each of the letters in varying styles.  This is pretty interesting regardless of whether you are a writer or not – very cool to see the different styles evolving and existing from something as seemingly simple as the letter “O.”  The video runs through some of the cool features of the site that he set up to make it an interactive experience.  The research is dope in both depth and delivery – check out the site to see what is what.
