Among new tags around Halifax this spring, there was one that I thought of as 5-Nov, and one (a drawing of smokestacks) that I thought of as Smokestacks. I had not made any association between the two, until a found both on a piece of rail in a bright yellow paint marker. The final piece of the puzzle was one of the Town Pride stickers which had both tags, and 'SMOG' written on it.
Looking at the pictures I had taken over the past few months, the story I came up with was "SMOG', a member of Town Pride, starting out with tagging SMOG, then the modified SMOG (5MOG then 5MoooG) and finally SMOG(smokestacks). A perfectly sensible evolutionary theory from my perspective - except it's likely wrong. Looking back at older photos I find a 5MOG at Dalplex in October 2006, and a big Smokestacks at the Pit in April 2007, long before the first simple SMOG's in March 2008.
Evolving SMOG
Nonetheless - SMOG is an interesting tag - the '5MoooG' tag is one of the wittiest I've seen, and Town Pride seems to be an interesting bunch - more graphic - like AOD(Army of Darkness) at this point, rather than tags/fills. More on Town Pride later...
