kalon name: Tristan
tag:

explanation:
Tristan chose 'King' as his tag for a very simple reason. He thought it would look and sound cool. Plain and simple. He just wanted a cool looking and sounding tag that would be recognizable. He usually keeps it to the colors of a sunset because he likes the way it looks but every once and awhile he rarely switches it up and will use colors that match the patterns in his own fur. He likes using brighter colors to make it pop and tends to make it big and bold so that it's eye-catching.

kalon name: Riot
explanation: riot tags with the word "BITE" in all caps. he chose this because of his teeth, and the fact he used to bite everything and anything when he was a kit. he thought it was an appropriate nod to his identity, as well as being a cool, hard-core sounding word.

kalon name: snipe
tag:

explanation [63/200]:

snipe's tag is a snake in the shape on an s. it can be different sometimes if it suits the art better, but usually it will be the yellow/purple version [blue being an example]. he chose a snake due to it being his mother's favourite animal, and his mother is the one who inspired and encouraged him to work on his artwork.

kalon name:
aaron kizzard

tag:


explanation [200 words]:
“bazinga!” – an interjection used to rub a good joke in someone’s face or to cheer oneself on after a personal win.
fitting for someone whose sole goal is to make the police forces' life a living nightmare.

aaron's inspiration behind their graffiti tag stems from the injustice they feel in a system that criminalises graffiti.
though they scoff at the term "criminal damage" when the police warn them of filling blank, dull walls with colour,
numerous brushes with fines and jail time had made aaron even more determined to fight against a system which
deems their art "unsightly".

hence, their tag was born.
the phrase encapsulates aaron's (and others') feelings towards such art being classified as "criminal damage".
they use it to strongly endorse the sense of "sticking it to the man" - encouraging resistance to authority through
the "sabotage" of dull walls, ridiculed with lacking colour.

a hark to the police constantly on their case, aaron has curated a tag which they create just in the nick of time
before being caught – a constant reminder that aaron will win no matter what.

no stone left unturned; no blank wall left uncoloured.

When Huro was younger and first starting to do grafitti he wanted to show off to his friends by doing something really cool and thus greko. At first his friends laughed at him telling him he spelled gecko wrong but he was quick thinking and told them it was supposed to be like that, as part of his asthetic. The others accepted this and soon huro found it humorous as well. He told his friends a few years later and they all laughed about it

tag:

explanation: First off, it's a pun because Nile practically runs on em. Nile often creates simple psychedelic pieces so they also wanted a tag that compliments them and still sticks out!

kalon name: Kestrel - "Backbone"
tag: sorry for the mess that is this tag... i've never done graffiti style before. lol


explanation:
This strange moniker is Kestrel's way of marking his territory. It's a strong representation of his character and inability to stray from his desires. He hopes the colors -- which are modeled after his coat -- will strike anxiety in any wannabe taggers when they realize just who had previously been there.

kalon name: Cheese
tag:

explanation:

His real name is actually Edgar, but everybody just calls him "Cheese", hence his tag.
Nobody can remember the real reason behind his adopted name, so all anyone can do is speculate as the story seems to change every time.

Cheese prefers to write his tag in Japanese though to give it a cooler and a more mysterious vibe, as to create the question of "who may have created it", despite not knowing a lick of Japanese.

This is his way of getting his mark around, while still having some fun by giving the tag a somewhat neon light aesthetic.

kalon name: Kage / Cage
tag:


explanation [optional 200 words max]:

Being a graffiti artist with dyslexia can be pretty interesting,
For one thing, it can end with some pretty unique pieces of art.

But its never Really bothered Cage, in fact it's because of graffiti that he learned to embrace his dyslexia.
Being a child, who couldn't read or spell as well as others, no rcould he really stay within the lines when coloring. It was because of this, he was often criticized, for his mistakes.

But with Graffiti, none of those mistakes mattered.
In fact, Most who see Cage's graffiti tag, don't often see the one small mistake with it,
They just see it for the art that it is.

But in reality, the one small mistake, isn't a mistake at all but more of a character.
You see because of his dyslexia, Cage tends to accidentally spell his name with a K instead of a C,
Although there isn't really a problem with that as both are produced the same, it's just a small touch of who he is.
And it's because of this that, Cage tends to go by Kage with a K, more then Cage with a C.
