eatacan Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 So i'm trying to figure out why it is no matter what scene a writer retreats to(and he's not a big name) unknown if you will, why is it motherfuckewrs keep quiet... nobody talk to the new kid...are we all clicky high school cheerleaders, or just too skecthed out to hand newbies our names and rock with fresh meat???!!! this shit bothers me being a writer who started out away from home had a hard time meeting cats and now has the same problem now even having decently acclaimed friends, but cant talk to cats even where hes from originally........

duh-rye-won Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 think about it from the other writers perspective. you might be ok, but 99% of writers are morons. last thing any real writer needs is one more punk that could rat on him. if graffiti was easy it wouldn't be fun. that includes the social shit as well.

Tyler Durden Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Most of us are criminals. Sorry if people arent all outgoing and looking to chat it up with you just because you might also enjoy defacing things. If I dont know you, or you arent a friend of a friend who can vouch for you, chances are I'm probably not going to ever paint with you or talk to you about anything in detail. Pay your dues and play the game right and someone will take notice that your at least attempting to learn, after awhile and you could end up with a mentor or some shit right there.

!@#$% Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 i didn't get into graffiti to make friends. i also don't need friends who are all about graffiti. as an artform that is illegal and anonymous, how can you actually be surprised that people in it are anti-social? who cares anyway? if you get really good, people will be all over you and trying to ride the nuts then you can complain about that.

oh so modern Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 i have found for the most part the writers i meet are more personable than i would expect considering the illegal nature of our pursuits. i have only had one kid refuse to give me his name when prompted, i guess i startled him. otherwise i had been writing only a coupla months with a small group of kids at home, i went away to school and almost immediately found a veteran writer down at school who made me welcome to paint with him. so i think it is all about how you carry yourself and your first impression. edit: i guess it also hasta do with the availability of other writers too.

dubsface Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Ive had this conversation with some of you before but: Writers are either a) anti social freaks b) asexual weirdos c) thugs who say things like "free oval" on graf dvds or d) the .1% who is none of the above.

GEEB Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 alot of the cats i knew in highschool, who had sketching skills, some even better than i claimed they wrote in the streets, the truth is 10% of those cats who sketch have never been anywhere near a can of paint, and after highschool is over they play it off like it was a "hobby" at the time" punk azz marksters...

dumy Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 yeah, in my experience, friendships with other writers are superficial at best...unless y'all kick with each other for other reasons unrelated to garffiti..or until y'all do some real dirt together..but, at the same time, I've met some of my closest friends through graffiti..so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 ive never had a problem finding cool people to be down with. even when my graff sucked goat balls, i still had dope people willing to fuck with me. you must be on mega herbatron status or something. maybe you could try a eharmony.com, i hear they're real good at matching people up with likeminded folk.

Tough Love Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 nevermind never really had close graff friends they were more like business partners, then i had the group of innocent kids i hung out with but then again, im a mark and dont write anymore, so what do i know anyways, yeah, shit was totally seperated for me, never really cared for being close with other writers... just more ppl to rat u out to others, hate on u and cause problems to ur non writing life not needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfffffffffft Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 i dont really hang out with graff heads.. i agree with tough love..the friends that i do have that do graff are like business partners.. i also agree with tyler durden... its an illega activity... what do you expect? any writer who is putting in a decent amount of work and has any sense would be a good bit anti-social about graff.
