Does anyone know what "V.D.W.L." is? I've been seeing that tag around Venice Beach. It doesn't look like sureno graffiti because they tag a specific way. I also saw a tag that said "Locals Only" next to one of the tags (don't know if it's related or not). I'm guessing it's some sort of skater/surfer crew maybe? I know Venice 13 tags around the beach, but I don't think this is related to them at all because it's not a sureno style tag. Anyone know what it is?

Likely done by some paint vandals in the area. I was there three weeks ago and I didn't see what you describe but I saw others. Could you post a photo?

Maybe it represents one those Venice thug surfers crews.... I wonder if they have beef with the Malibu surfers. I have not heard anything about that in a couple of years...

"Maybe it represents one those Venice thug surfers crews"

That what I am thinking. I can tell it's not gang grafitti.

I don't know about this one, but one thing, if you're gonna paint in Venice Beach, you now need to ask permission from the beach authorities. Before you can just paint there as long as no one is painting in that spot.
