HUE/Hué/Hue

When I first saw HUE, I just thought of Hué - the city in Vietnam. My first memory of war, was on the evening news watching an American tank retaking Hué, which presumably means that this was during the Tet offensive of 1968 (see the movie Full Metal Jacket by Stanley Kubrick if you want to see more of Hué/Tet). I didn't even think of 'hue' as in colour, which would seem to make more sense in a graffiti/graphical way.



HUE (with SHUK and SOUTH) seems to be one of Spring/Summer 2007 more prolific taggers so far. His style seem to be evolving - with some of the older tags (back of a building on Quinpool) looking more primitive, then a more graphical style with a looy 'E', and more recently a more angular look. HUE has also put some red hued throw-ups up here and there as well as tags (mainly at the rail overpass at the Bedford Basin and Joseph Howe Drive).
