GUDER, Graffiti Goon, Defaces North Heights

Graffiti goon GUDER "tags" 68 Hicks Street

A Graffiti Goon using the “tag” GUDER is on a rampage in the North Heights. BHB community member Andrew Porter sent us photos of some of this social misfit’s “art” sprayed on various surfaces around Hicks Street including the side of the lovingly restored 68 Hicks Street.

If you see this GUDER person (we prefer the more accurate “putz”) in action call the cops. If you’ve been a victim of this “artist”, you may be eligible for clean up funds from the city.  And if you know this GUDER character, just rat him out – judging by his actions he’s (or she) is the type of sociopath who’d turn you in.

    I’d strongly advise against cooperating with any tv coverage. It’ll only fan the flames. Let’s all keep a wary eye out and not hesitate to ring up 311.

    There they go again, the liberal media trying to sensationalize some young punk’s mania. Don’t worry, no one watches News 12 and they charge you to just look at their website.

    The skateboarders are usually out at @12:30 – 2 am when I arrive home. Just figured they were some rich kids with nothing better to do. They stupidly make the left on poplar without even looking. Good luck with that one.

    On a side note. What is with the dude pulling down leaflets on all the stop lights at night. Maybe he owns a moving company and is trying to eradicate the competition?

    If it’s the guy I am thinking of, he’s a kook who has been pulling down anything posted on lamp-posts, etc. for many years… Why, I have no clue.

    Stickley,

    I applaud the person taking down the leaflets. Except for lost puppies and local yard sales, I detest leaflets taped to the streetlights. It is illegal and it looks trashy. If I wanted my neighborhood to be and look like Manhattan, I’d move there.

    hm, maybe a community bulletin board would be a good solution. Cobble Hill has one!

    The Brooklyn Bugle will have online forums. Coming very very soon.

    I found another “Guder”, this time in white on the side of the brick building right next to the garage entrance of the former Brooklyn Union Gas Co building, on the south side of Pierrepont, between Clinton and Cadman Plaza West. The BHA told me that one is likely “older”, because of the color.

    Hey, Sticky and MadeInBklyn, I’ve been pulling down — actually, carefully taking down flyers, tape and all — commercial flyers in the Heights for years. I sometimes use a folding knife if I have one, or just my fingers or the edge of a key. I leave the lost puppy, stoop sale and other non-commercial flyers up until after the event, or until the rain has ruined them. But streetlights and signs are not the place for people to advertise commercial services. Most obnoxious are the “Moving” notices, which I understand are up all over the city, and are keyed to cellphone numbers which the NYPD can’t trace.

    The worst signs I’ve ever seen were the large, printed, commercial notices attached to trees on Hicks Street using wires. These I had to use a wire cutter to remove. You can see a lot of these commercial signs on major through streets and on Conduit Avenue, en route to JFK.

    Why leave nice pictures of this guy’s tag up for posterity? Why not photoshop the pictures with a nice black bar over each graffito and show him the respect he deserves?

    Struck again last night, building on corner of Clark & Hicks. Was wet at dawn this morning.
