some pittsburgh flavor

what's up with sumbliminal messages on that one ^^

yeah, it's a good thing IVO is above and beyond that prehistoric yank graffiti. And also, every one of his pieces don't look the same. And they've got maad style. He definitely has a lot of room to talk; especially when it comes to history and letters.

this goes out to joker/whoever else it applies to... the background i'm 16, and i love art. my drawing skills have progressed tremendously in the past few years because of graffiti and my love for anything that looks cool. i started getting into canvases two years ago.. they were cheesy and not very appealing at first, but the more recently produced ones i'm rather fond of. anywho, i plan on going to a college to study art. only problem is the problem i've got no idea what to do; how to make it as an artist. sure, there's always burger king. but that's not fun. i recently saw ESPO do a lecture. he was talking about different people/companies like Reebok and Calvin Klein wanted him to do things for him. how do they know about him? is it simply a matter of organizing gallery shows and hoping the right people go there and like your work? i'm sure there's more to it. what kind of jobs are out there? where do i start? granted i'm no barry mcgee, i like what i do, other people do as well... i guess i'm asking how does an above mediocre budding artist not starve to death in an alley, and what should he study in college? any help is much appreciated... i'm thinking about deferring for a year and then going to hopefully Pratt (it's the only school that sent me things and looks interesting, but expensive) thank you

Dear Snuze: Snuz/Snooz CF already writes that. thank you -SPF

those herbie cars are so cool

fine, i'll draw a hecz sketch in regular old straight letter style. they're a lot more fun than you think.

and there's a big difference between something that took a bit of skill to do and something that looks good. i think this is what most hecs fans fail to realize. you could be a wonderful artist and draw a really nice cross-hatched fruit basket on your little sticker sheet and i'd say wow, thanks, i just ran out of toilet paper; how thoughtful. but, you could also Basquiat. hecs, for your own sake work on that foolish trend and make it pleasing to the eye without the fancy cross-hatching and whatzitz you throw in to mask over what truly is a BAD piece. there really isn't anything special or fun or interesting in your 3Ds that i haven't seen 300 times before, and much better. if you're going to do it, i suggest stop posting the same letters over and over and over again on the internet and work on something new and creative and actually tickles your mind. now, i'm not saying 3Ds are played out, but the jherri curl.

yeah i know this is the stickers thread but i think it's pretty lame to stock up on THAT many stickers. it really shows where your priorities are. would it be easier to lay out and color 150 stickers in sequence and then place them on a wall?

personally, i think it would be hilarious to send over two crates of quick color silver and black to EuroGraffiti Central (wherever that is), and a bag of stock caps, and then see what the finished "whole clean train" would look like

Re: Something I did... Inspired By HECZ's 3d i didn't know 12 oz prophet was a crew now... i think you should not try to do anything inspired by hecz because he does what he does, and can do it. (i'd like to see him work more on developing that style but whatever) and that is not a very good job at 3-d. stick to straight letters for like, a really long time. things will come.

umm.... nahh.... too easy.... i'll let someone else handle this....

again, not really an undertone, but what the fuck?

;)

Hey, DAI..... do you think CAP wants his "A" back any time soon?

yeah.... anyway back to the inks and all that jive shit.... krink: what makes it so permanent? i know for a fact it's not just oil based bucket paint and mineral spirits.. tried it. i was talking to the art teacher and the only thing he could think of to make it more permanent would be linseed oil. any thoughts? i know yall are all wbout keeping your shit to yourselves and everything, but help a brother out. <3.
