I had an interesting virtual discussion recently with Paul H about what to call graffiti writers when you write about them or post on Instagram/Facebook. I tend to call them by the name that they write, so SOKER is Soker, RUSK is Rusk and so on. However every now and again, especially when writing for the first time I might use their Intstagram handle, which Paul tends to use more.
The problem with both is that some artists have a habit of either changing the letters they write (Dasco is doing this at the moment, although he is in Spain) or changing their Instagram accounts. The point is that intuitively I would have called this artist NESK, but because I was with Paul when I saw this beautiful piece I am calling him by his Twitter name – Bazmataz.

This is an absolute beauty, whatever one calls the artist. The metallic effect, the stars, the 3D fill and the colours are all made to work hard to produce an outstanding piece. I will definitely be looking out for Bazmataz (Nesk) in future.
The purple splashes or semidrips are intreesting. Not sure what you would call them.

As long as they don’t shut down one account and open up a fresh one then my way allows for them to change what they write or paint, but when they do shut down one and open up a new one it leaves me hoping luck in around the next corner.
A recent name change for ‘TABOO’ from @paterhauserpaints to @forbiddenassociation left me stumped for quite a while and now infuriatingly he’s gone and done it again . . . Ggrrr lol . . .
As far as this piece is concerned @bazamataz is definitely a top bloke as well as a top writer . . .
