Pretty much since I came here over a year ago, I have constantly seen “exile” graffitied (wow that is a weird word to spell out) all over Taipei. Anyone know any background to this? A person or a group? If it is just one person, seems pretty impressive, but I get the feeling it is a group. It seems to be written just about everywhere in Taipei, especially on garage doors.

The writing style looks American. Maybe some disgruntled ABT who’s stuck in Taiwan?

Some one picked the word up from the internet and doesn’t even know what it means.

How did they get that on there without anyone noticing?

Come on. An artist could do that in less than a minute at 2 a.m. Banksy does much more elaborate stuff and he’s never been busted.

I’m no expert about this. It looks like the Mister Men to me. Or possibly Garfield.
Every time I pass by one like this I think the same thing. Really in awe of how much skill, and well balls this has to take. Jesus, I am risk averse
Ha, entertaining theory. I did notice the bubble letter style really does remind me of US graffiti…seriously though if it is just one person, it must be their full time job. I have seen this tag - with a wide range of size and complexity - from Datong to Nangang

Another day, another set of tags I see. 
Anyone else see these too? Bonus in 1st pic, vaccine-face guy above “love me”, seen that one a lot too.

One of my pet peeves, ugly graffiti.

You’d think the tagger would’ve been caught by now with all the security cameras. Maybe he’s particularly well connected?

Ah, gotcha. I see the crazy eyes now. That Cash My Check guy is just so controversial am I right. I will add him to my list of potential suspects 
That’s the type of graffiti I don’t get and don’t appreciate. Just lazy scribbling. No artistic sense or any deep meaning.

How can you say it has no deep meaning? It says, “I’m alive, I exist.”

Fresh one (not exile)- like they left the ladder and spray cans, and the police were there fresh - outside a Xinyi Anhe MRT exit. Bold to do it at such a busy time, damn.

The photo I posted is like 100 meters from Xinyi-Anhe as well.

The bunny actually looks decent
Right?? The bitcoin chain was a nice touch. The strange plastic covering over one ear looks a bit…suspicious. I wonder if they got caught - with the ladder and all the spray paint still being there.
