![Graffiti in Fields Corner and Back Bay](https://www.universalhub.com/files/styles/main_image/public/images/2016/sameguy.jpg?itok=SQG5Nj2O)
A Fields Corner resident looked at the graffiti sprayed on the BPL in Copley Square this morning and thought it looked familiar.
The top image shows graffiti sprayed at 1429 Dorchester Ave. on Jan. 21. The bottom photo, by Joshua Fabian, shows graffiti left by the BPL tagger on the Mass. Ave. bus station sometime early this morning. Here's some video of the guy on Jan. 13.
The only discrepancy: The Fields Corner guy is white, in a white hoodie, while the Globe reports the Back Bay suspect was black in a black hoodie.

White guy
Either the informant about the BPL is a liar, mistaken, or the cops are trying to get the actual guy to feel comfortable so they can catch him easier.
Before he took his Instagram account down earlier today, he had a photo of himself standing next to his tag and he is a white guy.
As the one who looked the
As the one who looked up the surveillance footage and posted the YouTube video, I can attest that In Fields Corner it was definitely a white guy. See pictures captured from CCTV on January 13th around 3:30 AM -sorry, only the links, I don't know how to embed a picture. If anyone can help with that, your help is welcome.

He also fled on a bike -more of the commuter type. See picture #2

I'd love to see that DB in court. If it so happens, I'll be there and plead with the judge for a thousand hours of community service in cleaning up the neighborhood. If this looks like your housemate from hell or deadbeat boyfriend, don't miss your chance of getting even by dropping his name!
What guides are there to interpreting the ornamental lettering?
What guides are there to interpreting the ornamental lettering of graffiti? and the codes?... besides at

There actually are
some. They're typically maintained by law enforcement in a city and/or by other similar stakeholders, like mass transit agencies, highway/port authorities. They end up being specific to the city's tags and taggers, so they can catch and prosecute people for times.
That said I'm sure there's one available on the internet for laymen, if you Google enough.
Please provide

The empire strikes back!
The plague of Graffiti symbolized the spiritual collapse of the subways in the eighties. The MBTA's plan is too collapse before the plague strikes and declare victory over the vandals.
The tagger community
knows who did this. It's a matter of time before one of these "artists" turns him in.
This tag....
is actually everywhere if people stop and look around. I see it off of the pike besides the train tracks on that stretch from Kenmore to the Pru tunnel, and those are filled in, black line with white letters. I have seen it other places too, just cannot remember off the top of my head. I am kind of a graffitti lover but Boston's scene makes me sad. This shit is terrible, uninspired, and then you have these losers tagging up the library. The city/state broke Shepard Fairey's balls but this goes on unabated. I still don't understand how someone tagged up the BPL at any time of night, it being so well lit in an area where cops roll by often. I'll give the guy this much: he's quick and has a lot of balls.
And his fellow taggers now can't stand him
See this comment:
Dude had an Instagram account to show off his, um, work, but he's taken it down.

You know you're a scumbag
You know you're a scumbag when people who make a lifestyle out of vandalizing other people's property actually call you a scumbag.
"Don't write on shit that has respect. Period."
So the State House and all MBTA property is open game fellas! No one respects that shit!
Should just be don't write on
Should just be don't write on shit that's not yours.
