English term or phrase: dubs

グラフィティ・アーティストの以下のインタビュー記事に出てきました。

I was always easily bored and kept changing my tag and so also progressed from tags to "dubs" to pieces to wildstyle to 3D letters. The techniques I developed from that translated naturally to doing characters and scenery, which was a much more diverse playground to inhabit.

ダブ

Explanation:
Do a google image search for: dubs graffiti.
It seems like a dub is just a really big and long tag.
There is probably no Japanese for this yet, so it might be best to use katakana and give an explanation in parentheses.

Explanation:

上記のリンクを見ると、dubsに関して、以下のような文が掲載されています：
「ライターたちにはいくつかの暗黙の規則がある。
代表的なものは、すでにあるグラフィティの上には、さらに完成度の高い図案を作らなくてはいけない、というものである。」

また、Billが入れた答をもとに、以下のリンクを見ると、より分かりやすいと思います。

２色描き

Explanation:
下のリンクによると、ダブとはスローアップのひとつのスタイルのようです。バブルレターと並んで挙げられているので、ダブルの意味かと思い上のように訳しましたが、あくまで推量です。
