Who has the most "UP'S"?, by stvro22 on Jan 9, 2016 5:57:00 GMT 1, Here in NY you often hear people talk about which artists are "up" the most. For those who don't know, it means who has the most spray tags, or wheat-pastes or stickers, etc. The top graffiti artist used to be called "King of the City" for having more tags up than anyone else. For wheat-pastes it used to be Revs and Cost.
It doesn't seem to be talked about too often on here so I thought it might be interesting to take a survey of other cities around the world and ask "who has the most up's" in your part of the world? I'm mainly referring to illegal street art and graffiti but we can also mention murals if you would like to include.
Most tags?
Most rollers?
Most paste-ups?
Most stickers?
Most murals?

The person whose "up's" I admire most is JR. He also does the most IG "advertising" on my feed. The guy just does it right. I really like his work and he puts up a lot of it.
Don't want it on my wall though. (Maybe the NYC Ballet piece...)

Who has the most "UP'S"?, by Dungle on Jan 9, 2016 8:25:30 GMT 1, In London:-
Most tags illegal - Tox
Most rollers - tough call but could well be Sweettoof, I only really frequent East and North London where he is very prevalent
Most murals - depends whose in town but someone constantly putting up new pieces is Zabou. Sweettoof,
Most paste ups - probably donk, but Stinkfish's always leaves a shitload too
Stickers - I must confess I don't really follow or look out for
Like I say predominantly east London is what I see, so to canvass the whole of London would be tough!!

Who has the most "UP'S"?, by Eric Pause on Jan 9, 2016 19:09:05 GMT 1, There's not much in my current city. But as far as Canada as a whole goes, I'm constantly surprised at all off the places I've found a Denial vinyl cut-out or sticker. They're in the most rural places too. He must be very well travelled.
What about worldwide? It seems I've found Obey Stickers/wheatpastes in every city I've visited. Surely he must be up there?
I also found Invader pieces in every European city I've visited. (Without really looking for them) But besides a few cities they're pretty scarce in North America.

Not been on the tube for a while. Still got to get my Tox 09 framed. Must keep an eye out for a cheap ornate gold frame :-)

In terms of who's been going hardest over the last few years there's the 1UP crew in Berlin but it seems like Utah and Ether have been on a permanent spraycation lately:

Most tags- 10Foot, also shoutout to Flash
Most rollers- Man or Artik
I'm not really bothered about the other ones, someone else will have to comment on those.
