Last week during my vacation in San Juan, I kept my eyes peeled for graffiti in an effort to see how that most universal of art forms is being practiced by Puerto Rican graffiti writers.

Unlike New York, San Juan has not been flooded by street artists posting their more refined variants of the street art form so, as a result, there remains a raw energy adherent to the throw-ups and tags that both decorate and vandalize the streets of the Puerto Rican capital.
