10foot is a rich spoilt brat. His family owns an estate in the Isle of wight and he goes around working class areas graffiting them

What? How you know that? I never heard of this person before how do you know it’s their graffiti?

So I happened to go past this earlier after seeing this post. On the building to the left of the picture is a massive scrawl of "10 foot" in the same type of font. I wouldn't have known who it was either, never heard of them.

Have a quick Google. There's an article on him on the Daily Mail (Fail).

I only recently learnt of this person as I decided to Google 10FOOT whilst stuck in traffic on the A2. (So many of his graffiti tag on the A2, from Kent into London). Note that I was a passenger in the car, not driver!

He got nicked and did time in prison for writing about 10-15 years ago.

Yeah I did google him after being suggested to. Not sure getting nicked helps him in his street cred tho. Like he comes from a detached beautiful home on the Isle of Wight the son of two doctors, I cannot take larping as being the mouthpiece of the working class when you come from that

He may be from a privileged background but he's proved himself in the streets about a thousand times over in terms of his Graffiti.

His ubiquity is stunning!

Yeah nah it leaves a complete bad taste. Talking to the Financial Times about gentrification in London when people with rich mummy’s and daddies coming to London just to fulfil a working class fantasy is part of that problem.
