im russian and i am in love with graffiti....

it just goes to show you that painting isnt just something limited to the "cooler" crowd (aka US, Europe, sometimes south america.). i never really was into russian graff but this changed my mind. its tight. :yum:

 

 

id love to see some african graffiti though.

haha, yeah...i guess the japanese write in english to keep it fair...imagine that they could rock plain 'traditional' ideograms and have more style than 90% of the rest....:D

 

Serously though, lets say that Graffiti, in 'our' terms, exists in the western world...most of which rocks the Latin Alphabet...i can only think of Russia, Eastern europe (yugoslavia, poland, hungary...etc) and greece that have a different alphabet.

I've seen graffiti from almost all of those countries and preety much everyone uses english, or to be exact Latin alphabet...cause you cant really say that 'BEMS' or 'VUNE' or 'KESA' or...whatever is an english word.

Although i would like to see graffiti in different alphabets...i like the use of Latin simply because it creates a common language for all of us...

 

HAL, why would this go to YARD???

anyway, before it moves to third rail...here is selection from that awesome site, dont sleep russia has style by tradition

No doubt... the possibilities with basic latin alphanumeric characters is nearly endless but imagine the shit that would come out of the Cryllic alphabet (we can't even discuss Asian hands because they've rocked shit for thousands of years without even trying).

 

Go buy an English–Russian dictionary and get reading... the world opens up. Of course, this brings into question the whole delineation of art and where graffiti is/should go... but we'll just save that for my master's thesis.

 

And that is damn sick.

:) Thanx for props!

Smbd ask what kind of paint we are use. Since spring 2002 Montana, before many shits like Dupli color, Motip and other not good spray paints.

 

By the way, the new update will on this week, many murals with Montana. So, I'll say about.

Much love from Belarus and Russia!
