I'm not trying to get respect.. I just posted what I was working on last night because some dude said some shit about me using technical difficulties as an excuse. I would look pretty lame if I went ghost and didn't post anything. Anyway, I'm not even trying to argue with you guys. You guys are pretty damn humorous and I appreciate all the nice drawings. Keep em cumming,, no pun intended..
I was gonna ask you guys to post something. I've got 6 of you going after me and I'm wondering if you guys are really that much better than me. There i posted it myself. No need to be dramatic..
I realize the shelf is off. I mentioned that in the comments.. but thanks for telling me. And no ILB didn't show me love. He told me that what I'm doing will never work, even though it is working just fine. Half of you are hating and you don't even know why. Because I'm not a big name graffiti writer. I love the art form and regardless of what you say I have in fact been studying it for a good decade. Im not gonna lie and say I paint on the regular but I also didn't just figure out what graffiti was yesterday.
Anyway I'm not trying to argue with a bunch of people here. I simply wanted to get a few people to join my battle. some of you are taking this way to serious like its some sort of threat to your culture. Im a kid that loves graffiti and I'm doing something that relates to it..
"You won't have any affect on the culture" <- ya, that was what i said a while ago.. I'm not a culture vulture because what I'm doing is simply a blackbook battle on youtube and its not gonna have a negative effect on graffiti. There's blackbook battles happening all over the internet including on this site. Who cares what I'm doing. What are you doing.. Are you crushing trains every night? Great! Fantastic! handjobs all around!! Welcome to the age of the internet. People are going to host blackbook battles.. get over it...
HAHAHA,, oh ya, I'm single highhandedly raping and pillaging the whole culture of graffiti by running a contest... this mentality is sooo outdated. What I'm doing isn't going to stop artists from getting out and hitting walls. You're welcome to your opinion but you're not my dad and you're not sitting me down for some lecture...
This is the internet. You are on a graffiti website. don't be a hypocrite...
Whatsup 12oz!
I host monthly graffiti battles on my YouTube channel and although I feel the format is pretty well done, there could definitely be a higher level of competition. Right now the same dude has won it back to back and I need some more people to enter that can help raise the bar. Its a fun battle and I put out a results video/new battle every month. The winner receives a little award as well. Its nothing too fancy but I think its pretty cool.
Anyway, I know there are some incredible artists in here and I would love to have some of you get involved in these. I consider myself to be a really fair and honest judge and I've been into graffiti for a good 15 years so I like to think that I always pick the right piece to win the contests.
Anyway, check out the video and give it a thought.
All the best,

Looking to get some more people involved in my monthly battles. The competition is somewhat beginner at this point and it would be great to have some people join that can really raise the bar.
