Sud.

What I find fascinating about graffiti is just how beautiful it really is. It's not always legible to me, but I'm not sure that's the point of it. The letterforms are so skewed and altared to make interesting shapes, and even though not everyone has the same exact style, I find it interesting that graffiti overall has a certain "look" - that is to say that though there are many styles of graffiti, it still all seems to be very similar. My example shows some very simple graffiti. Some that I've seen is very elaborate and colorful, but this one is not. Maybe it's in an early stage of development, on it's way to becoming very elaborate, and I could see how that might be the case. It really does just look like a rough sketch underneath what will be the nice crisp, clean look of the final product. Who knows. Either way, as you can see, there are a few different styles here, but they all work together. The word on the left is illegible to me, but the one one the right is very clear (at least in that it says "SUD", maybe not as to why it says that). I don't really know what else to say, so I'll just leave it at that. Maybe something else will strike me later.
