Ms.Bombastic Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 As 'jocking' as this may seem..... I'm someone who is totally ecstatic over graffiti...and as toy behavior as that may be....FUCK IT....because I LOVE GRAF! I love walking down a street or alley and BAM! a piece by my favorite writer. It's like finding a hidden treasure. It's something I get totally excited about. I'd heard stories about this spunky little chick, and her swirly style and the fact that she's a she, and worked hard to gain the respect of her male counterparts...I'd seen her shit on a local site...When I found my first Silo piece it brought a whole new meaning to painting and seeing her work for the first time in real life was a breathtaking experience. She inspired me... Recently I came across an old tunnel filled with Jugs pieces...damn that was a good day...I love those finds. I love that I can go anywhere in this city and find a Jugs piece. I hear he doesn't write anymore, damn that was shitty news! Jugs is a good lesson in motivation....When I see his shit, I just want to go out and paint... I gotta love the writer that I still look up to even though he crossed the fuck out of my shit in a certain yard(and shall remain nameless,***). It's lessons like that which teach me about ambition, and about being ambitious at the right time. Anyway the point...the point is that all of you writers who have been around, you have people that look up to you...who enjoy your art. Kids like me that are inspired, motivated and ambitious because of you. Kids who you call and refer to as "toys" whom often picked up their first can because of something of yours they saw. Writers like you give us something to look forward too. We look forward to finding your work in some assed out alley. We look forward to the day we get to meet you, or paint next to you. So just realize despite your enormous tempermental egos, we appreciate your art because it does something for us and it got us to go out and do something....and I also appreciate the fact that you've made my bedroom a much prettier place! Seriously, I know alot of you are bastards, but regardless of shitty attitudes I can't deny the beauty of your work, so Thanks. ohyeah P>S> um, Jugs if you like hopefully just have amnesia or something and u just forgot where to find paint...let me know and I'll drop some by for ya....I REALLY HATE THAT YOU QUIT PAINTING!:crazy: :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest --->NEKS Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Ms Bombastic, i think what you said was pretty cool, some one who actually speaks their true feelings about something, regardless of the fact that they are expecting to be ridiculed,you get my respect.Thats a rare find in graffiti these days.

Guest JoeHatesCops Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 hmm What about bums trying to pee on you, what about yuppie fucks trying to chase you down. on etime I was on the burke gilamn, at like 1:00, and theyre was some crazy guy looking for his cat, then he said it wass his dog, and then he said its name was fifi, then your freind goes, see "see "joe" hes just looking for his pet ( iwas bugging) then he starts calling for joe, and we start running and he chases us. scary *names have beeen changed to protect the slightly guilty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like you totally missed my point...and i don't know how you could because it says: "Anyway the point:" How many people just ramble on and on and you don't know what the fuck and...I even pointed it right out for you....SHeeSH!

Guest --->NEKS Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 lol, the first time i was on the back of a sign, i was scared, and like you said,when an 18 wheeler comes tearing through it definitly rocks the boat, lol.but even thought that scared the shit outta me that night,i think it made graffiti more fun rather than scare me away from it, and nowadays i know what to expect up there, so i kinda know what im getting into. but as Secret said, "it wont be all flowers and bunnies",almost implying that graffiti isnt fun any more after you experience the things he listed,and i have to dissagree because all of those things make graffiti what it is.

fiberoptical Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 It seemed the point did get lost. Well to bring it full circle in a way..it is one of the best things about graff, that you are giving something to someone..be it inspiration, ideas, hate, love, whatever..that is a powerful thing to be able to do.And have little idea to who is feeling that. I respect greatly those whom I have looked up to for years, studied every little line they did, and then actually met them , and they were as dope as their works.There is not too many other feelings like it..Kinda serves as a memory well when I am out there doing my thing..Keeping some of that knowledge that was kicked to me going..keeping that big picture in my head.When I meet some of them and they are fuckfaces, well, whatever..their shortcoming. I can still apprecite their art, without giving a shit about them as a person.And at any chance I get I will name drop the kings that gave me, inadvertantly, the fire I have for writing. And wether you know the personally as people or merely admired their work...gotta give it up to those who helped make you whatever it is we think we are.
