WORK which appears to be that of a notorious graffiti artist who has blighted the streets is being sold.

A print of a graffiti “tag” – the signature of artists – sold for £90 at Seaspray Worthing, which operates inside a tattoo parlour in Downlands Parade.

The canvas print looks exactly the same as the graffiti which has been sprayed on buildings in Brighton, including the Boots store in North Street and the Barclays bank building further down the same road.

When we visited the shop in Worthing we were told by a worker that it was being sold for £90 at an “art show”.

He said the person behind the tag was “infamous” and showed us The Argus story about the mystery vandal.

At the time, the man said the artist behind the print on sale was fairly well known in the graffiti world.

When The Argus contacted Seaspray to ask how it felt selling the work, a worker said: “We have sold it.

“It was sold to us by a third party – I’ve never met the person. I only got it for an art show. It was just for fun.”

An internet post advertising the canvas mentioned the name “Fugly” but the identity of the artist remains a mystery.

In a Facebook group on September 15, an Andy Sturt posted a picture of cleaners getting rid of the tag on the North Street Boots.

In our original story about the serial tagger, we showed buildings in Brighton which he had vandalised.

We received numerous reports of the tag, which appears to be a letter P in a clenched fist, around the city.

It was daubed over the Boots store in London Road and the Co-op shop next door, as well as under the bridge in New England Street, on the way to Preston Circus.

The London Road area is something of a hotspot, with the World’s End pub also attacked.

More recent sightings have been reported on the Marks and Spencer building in Western Road, the Metro Bank building next to Churchill Square shopping centre and buildings in The Lanes.

The tag appears four times along Upper Hollingdean Road.

It has also been spotted on shop shutters including two in Lewes Road.

The mystery tag has also been marked on windows in Fleet Street along with other, smaller street furntiure such as electricity boxes in the same area.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said the force was not running an investigation to see who is behind the tagging.

Do you know who the person behind the graffiti is, or have you been hit by the tag?
