My homeboy Spate hooked me up this link to Nightcrawla, a site dedicated to Philadelphia graffiti with emphasis on hardcore street bombing and Philly wickeds. Basically, some next level shit — menacing tags turning handstyles into wildstyles, even many writers find Philly tags illegible due to their complex letterforms, huge flares, tags that sometimes reach several metres high as well as smoking spliffs and brandishing butterfly knives. Heat. These cats rock can control in their tags that toys don’t even achieve in their pieces. Check it out at Nightcrawla Philadelphia Graffiti. The navigation is a bit frustrating but there is some primo shit if you can be bothered to lurk through it.
