Of course we all love what we do in some form or other...but seriously, don't you guys get sick of all this shit ? All the crap we have to put up with, all the drama that everyone bitches about, all the times that could have been spent in the bar instead of the yard (this does not apply to Xide, who brings his OWN bar with him when he hits the yard!!). I'm just really tired of all the crap I hear out of people's mouths about graffiti....can't everyone just shut the fuck up and enjoy it ? Seriously, I cannot for the life of me understand why so many writers take themselves and what they do so seriously....get over it....its just not nearly as important as many of you …

The majority of serious writers i know, myself included,agree that they are somewhat addicted to graff.I was wondering if anybody gets withdrawls when you dont get out to paint. Most addictions have some sort of withdrawl after you stop, could this be any different?

I need to find this site for a paper I'm writing. I remember it being called "the lagoon" or "the blue lagoon" or some shit like that. It's site that has all different set's and barrios graff with a history on cholo writing and stuff. It also has like lowriders and shows and Raza info I think. Do any of you know what the URL is? I had it saved on my computer at home. I spent half the night trying to find it and still can't. Any help would be appreciated. Any other sites with westcoast cholo/gang graff and westcoast graff from around the time of WWII or earlier would be greatlly appreciated. Thanks...

They chase the same things most of us do: respect and recognition, a few props to let them know someone's down with their game. But these guerrilla artists don't sweat when Wayne County erases their in-your-face expressions, buffing over them with a cement slurry that dries in 20 minutes. It ju…

hey (ense since you obviously wont just go away, why dont you just drop the charade and lets talk about guns. i know it has nothing to do with graffiti, so in order to keep it in this thread, i'll teach you how to make krink. but in exchange for that, you gotta let me know what the guys down at the 'office' are saying about the new sig sauer.... ive seen and read good things, but magazines are generaly biased of course... also, what are you shooting these days? p+?

id like to find out how others feel about this. i recently posted a few threads worth of photos, and felt very weird about it a day later. im not a big fan of sending photos to magazines or web sites, and never have. i like it much more if someone catches a train or runs across one of my spots, it feels alot better knowing you had nothing to do with my work showing up in that mag or site. ive traded a few packages with people who run sites and zines, so i guess im kind of guilty of this. but after posting photos on here in feel very cheesy, and i dont think i will be doing it again anytime soon. let me know how you guys feel about this, because im sure there are others w…

....I'm sick as shit of my crew pissing in each others faces. 2 guys keep fuckin bustin each other to the point one of the better kids is wanting to leave the crew and get with a better known one. Now i fuckin hate soap operas. I get sick of ," he said" and ,"but he said". If you are lucky enough to be a in a good crew, don't be a pussy and bitch about who's style is better or who has more paint..... JUST FUCKIN PAINT. If you have beef, talk to that cat and get your shit straight. Dont create inhouse rukus. The point of a crew is brotherhood. It's representing skill and being down for a cause or the cause. It's about crushing everything you do, not just painting but being…

Did anyone see the new issue of Beautiful Decay. Just thought I would give it a bump because I got it in the mail today and it is pretty fucking dope. It is a good mix of artsy stuff and graff, mostly graff though.....real good freight section with an article on virginia and an interview with dave kinsey. thumbs up.

alright. last night i did a USA piece on a wall, well i came back today to get flicks and there was a pretty large group of kids and a photographer standing out there looking at it and discussing it. i waited behind them, made a few comments on it like i didn't paint it, got a few flicks and got out. it felt real great to paint something that influences people of all ages. im hoping that guy works for the pilot and im gonna wake up tommorow to see my piece in the paper. it's not all about fame though, i really do still have strong feelings about the attack on WTC. i'll be posting these flicks soon.
