YOOPZ


The tag I refer to as "YOOPZ" is present all over the downtown core. It appears to be the work of one person - there is not much variation in its simple looping style. Rarely (but with a few egregious examples that are the exceptions that prove the rule) YOOPZ is not found on buildings, but any other surface - mailboxes, paperboxes, light fixtures, and phone booths are all fair game. YOOPZ is sometimes adorned with a halo over the two OOs - this character is also present sometime with the Tags SARS, SAME and ENDER, but I do not know what it's significance is. YOOPZ seems to work solo as the Tag doesn't seem to be associated with other Tags in the same locations, colors or styles. YOOPZ is usually sprayed on, but is also seen in marker, pastel, and even on applied stickers.

Although I call this tag YOOPZ - it is clearly open to some interpretation - any alternative suggestions as to the spelling?

oppz! did you get blog spammed?

I'm seeing a stylized "oopz" in those tags, possibly joopz.
But could be yoopz 2.
