ZackAttack Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 two reasons (for me) 1. I like to make the place i live more pleasant to the eye. 2. I get a kick out of making people wonder.

scream Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 I paint 2 express myself. I paint 2 create mental stimulation within others. I want 2 be remembered once I'm dead and am therefore leaving MY mark on the world. I love 2 see graf by others, and therefore presume others like 2 see stuff 2, so I give 4 them. Most importantly - I'm doing it strictly 4 the love of it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zodiac Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Its a part of human fucking nature man! Think about it in ancient civilizations those motherfuckers wrote all over the wall and told about theyre life. thats the same with writers today exept they tell about theyre life in they're art. why do you think all these dumbasses go into bathrooms and write "COCK" in shit ass letter? they want to be heard, they are just confused is all. thats how i know graffiti will never go away cause human nature never changes.:king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratodab Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 i paint for numerous reasons. i guess the most simple answer is that it challenges me. it's a challenge to sketch better outlines, make letters more balanced & have them create a certain atmosphere. color schemes fall under the design aspect of graff too. then there's challenge of doing something illegal which carries heavy penalties for being caught. i find scoping out spots, getting to them, dodging the heat and getting away clean to be extremely rewarding. the tension i feel when i'm in a vulnerable spot and the satisfaction i get seeing it in the morning are unparalleled. And then there's the control of the medium itself. Painting requires a whole separate set of skills than drawing does. I guess the movement is more from the shoulder than the wrist, but at any rate, it feels completely different. Mixing colors, making crisp lines and not dripping all present challenges that arent really present in other art media. beyond that, i find the concept of graff to be captivating. i mean, the idea of painting a freight, which will be gone at dawn and off touring the country for the next decade is pretty crazy. sort of giving a bit of yourself to the world. graff is all the more interesting when it's unwanted. people dont want it on their buildings, trains, or trucks but they get it anyway. passerby's dont usually want to see graff, but they're subjected to it anyway. it's mysterious and usually misunderstood. i guess another part of the allure is knowing that i'm part of such a shadowy subculture. im approaching twenty but never have i felt more angst-ridden. the screen name "crush kill destroy" always pops in my head when i'm out on the town. i feel like i'm tearing at the fabric of society and at the same time making it all the more vibrant and virile. how many other hobbies can you say that about?

Boring Bastard Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 I'd love to give a good answer but I'm going to go with a very simple one........ "Because I'm an overgrown dumbshit who likes writing on fr8 trains.." It's so fucking complex to explain to everyone who asks so I just don't talk about it.... It's like a drug habit that no one is supposed to know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Love_Freights Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 I think we do what we do, because we're artistic, and want our work to be seen. I personally get cravings to go paint. Can't help it.. I need to paint freights often, or I get anxiety attacks. :) I go through mood swings, sometimes i wanna hit throws in the streets, it really varies. And as someone said before, when I die, I'll be remembered by many more than I would have been if I didn't do graffiti. Its in your blood, or its not. Graffiti is not a questionable thing. In my eyes anyhow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
