taper Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 i dont know if im the only one to notice this but it seems to me i keep seeing all kinds of "up" fr8 heads painting shitty ass ugly peices. it seems like alot of people are coming out and painting this "ugly on purpose" style. im not trying to undermine their abilities or anything but there are alot of crap looking stuff out there that looks like a toy painted it not a dude with over 1,000 trains. before i get flamed im not bitching saying im better but ill catch a lewis peice that is just terrible then ill catch one thats real clean. i dunno maybe this is just the new cool style to paint but i dont like overly simple messy peices myself. what do you guys think. id like to hear what cracked has to say about it.

TURBO DOG Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 have you ever thought of the conditions he might have been in?? not everyone has chill daytime layups...you always have to keep that in mind...what was the situation in where this guy had to paint this piece??? but genrally lewis is really fresh and if you dont like funky styles then dont look at them....cause lotsa people have been doing it for a while and it isnt just a bandwagon thing..and lewis is one of them..he has been down for a while and is always a great catch on the lines!

ODS-1 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'm sure sometimes normally good writers paint drunk so it doesn't look so good. I like Lewis shit, but I don't see that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taper Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 i knew that was coming and i even said im NOT saying any of the writers ARENT good im saying that it SEEMS to me that alot of people are doing that style more so now than before and i was just seeing if i was the only person taking notice to it or not thats all. im not uptight i was just simply asking. i for one dont really like the 2min peice but i dont matter and i know that. and for the record i do like 99% of lewis peices i wasnt calling him out but hes got that style i was referring to.

83. Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 this is really a waste of time asking this question..again. people are gonna paint what they wanna paint. if they wanna paint sloppy on purpose let them.. sometimes sloppiness is from being drunk or a sketchy spot but not every time..so you know..whatever. its all about havin fun anyway. i always have fun if im cutting lines or sloppin out with stock caps. more painting less jibber jabber.

porque Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 ...sorry...i must have misunderstood...originally you were complaining because established writers were painting pieces that looked like they were done by people without experience...but then you brought up zask, whom i believe is painting without much experience...so it seemed to me that you were just using him to criticize his work, which is different than your initial complaint...my mistake... ...people are going to paint whatever they want...and everyone is going to like whatever their preference is toward...it doesn't really matter much in the end...it's just graffiti...

ghostvandal Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 sometime i like to paint a flatty in the daytime with nice montana and nice caps, sometimes i go for the fbox or the door in the sketchy yard with stocktips..it just depends how i feel that day and what kind of paint i got left in my basement..im sure its the same for a lot of people...

Cracked Ass Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I shrug at a lot of things these days. This topic is one of them. People will paint what they want. Conditions (weather, spot chillness, blood alcohol) vary widely. I've done dirt rather than go home with a full bag just because it started raining or snowing or I heard the air go or I was just having an off day or it was my 4th train that day or the switcher went by on the other side so I know I have 10 minutes to bounce. I know what you're saying, I've seen dirt by good writers (Crae comes to mind, he has quality and he has butt-ugly sometimes), but ultimately, who cares. Do what you do.

taper Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 well i wasnt really trying to come across as bitchy but now that i reread my inital post it did kinda come across as that. i know its cool to paint what you want and i dont debate its about fun i was just saying if there are good writers that paint sloppy peices intentionally thats fine i was just meerly asking if anyone else thought more people were taking to this style nowadays. i understand about the spot i've been there done that. really i dont care much i was just seeing if anyone else had noticed the same thing. as for zask, being from the city where hes from and knowing people that paint with him i know that he just started painting and thats fine that his peices arent the greatest, but i see some expirenced people painting peices that look like that.

beer me Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 agreed sometimes i think its ammusing seeing a sloppy peice by a well knowen writer.. it gives it character and makes you wonder the conditions and how drunk off his ass the kid was when he did it.. sort of mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZedIsAlive Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 whats so new about lewis's style. reas and ghost were doing shit like that 20 years ago. tracy168 and blade were doing shit like that 20 years before them. lewis just knows that graffiti is supposed to be fun. he's not into graffiti that looks like it will hurt you if you touch it. but its nothing new. his shit is dope though.
