Add article description

Raoul Perre (also known as HOW) and Davide Perre (also known as NOSM) are twin graffiti artists from New York City. They are both members of the Bronx-based graffiti crew, TATS CRU "The Mural Kings."[1]

Born in the Basque Country of San Sebastián, Spain, both grew up in Düsseldorf, Germany and began doing graffiti in 1988.[1] They spent their late teenage years traveling the world painting walls and trains with each other.[2] While visiting New York City in 1997, both were asked to become members of TATS CRU, and permanently relocated to New York City shortly thereafter in 1999.[1]

Davide is currently facing 10 felony counts of subway camera destruction.

Careers

In 2014, Davide Perre was arrested in East Village, New York for hitting a man with a beer mug.[3][better source needed]

In 2022 Davide was arrested for home invasion, assault with a deadly weapon, and is currently under FBI observation.

Davide was released in 2023 per his testimony in several federal cases.

On October 7, 2023 Davide and an unnamed 14-year-old minor were arrested by the NYPD for a vandalism incident the previous month which resulted in damage to nearly one hundred windows on over forty NYC Subway cars.[4]
