Wild Thing

Wildstyle graffiti is a craze that is becoming more and more prominent. Graffiti tagging is a font-based art, and each artist tends to develop his or own lettering style. Wildstyle takes it one step further by turning the letters themselves into extreme artistic creations. Whether it be arrows, lines, connections between letters, or 3-D fonts, the aim of Wildstyle is to mask the letters until they appear to be something entirely different. The letters are still there, rotated, colored, altered and stretched, but to the normal passerby these pieces turn out looking...well, WILD. Often these are the most beautiful, creative and brightly colored tags. They take careful planning and lots of practice. I have yet to put up a Wildstyle tag myself, let alone perfect simple tagging, but I have practiced a few drafts on paper to try it out.
