Samuel Moore (graffiti artist)

Samuel Moore (1987- ) primarily known as 10foot, is a London based graffiti vandal/artist. Between the years of 2005 and 2010 he was London's most prolific graffiti writer and has been named by many in the know and Complex Magazine (2014) as one of London's top graffiti writers of all time.[1]

In 2010 he was arrested and bailed but continued to graffiti trains whilst on bail.[2] He was eventually convicted for over £100,000 of criminal damage at Blackfriars Crown Court and sent to prison for 2 years.[3] He also received an ASBO (Anti Social Behaviour Order) that prevented him from carrying any form of pen, paint, glass etching liquid or stones or using public transport[4]

Whilst in prison various graffiti writers painted tributes to Moore including Robbo, London's most revered first generation graffiti writer[5]
