    I dont know wher you come from by saying the average age for skatebaording is 13 -16 you got that all wrong, the average age range is any where fromlike 5 20's and i say that because of where i live there are at least 4 parks in the area and all of which have kids from 5-20 on a daily basis. now adys kids start skating younger. I do agree with you though about the marketable shit for a younger generation. but if you take a real good look at the market he is hitting you got skate shops that feature graff stuff like mags paint caps markers all of that stuff in a skate shop and then you get artists like dalek that have shoes and trucks its catering to the writers and the people that skate. two makrets at once.

     

    Here isan interview that clears up Dalek and graffiti...

    My Webpage

    AVC: How old were you when you moved there?

     

    D: I was 24 or 25. I graduated high school in Japan in 1986, and we moved to Hawaii. Needless to say, when I lived in Hawaii I didn’t do much of anything except go to the beach every day. I worked in a shop and just sort of hung out for a couple of years. As far as graffiti is concerned, I got started doing graffiti pretty late in the game. Most kids started when they were 15 or 16, if not younger. I hadn’t really been exposed to it before, and when I was, it instantly appealed to me.

     

    sure, skaters range from the age of 5 to 40, but

    the core demographic of a skateboarder is 13-16.

    thats why all the skate mags cater to that age group.

    which is also why, you dont see car ads in skate mags, and other mature non-endemic ads.

    but you see those type of ads in surf mags and snowboard mags,

    where their demographic is towards the late teens into the twenties and even older.

     

    for example, big brother and strength was a mature audience magazine,

    but both of those have folded. the older skater does not keep the industry going.

    it's the kids and their parents who put money into this industry.

    [/b]

     

    Theres no point in trying to prove anything to you? you think your so right in the things you say anyways. kids and parents are NOT puting moneyinto an industry with graffiti. do you see parents ordering caps and markers for thier kids to go out and get up? no you dont. before you start talking about things you should make sure you know enough about it.

    I am not much of an artist outside the world of photography, I am redesigning my site http://nycexposed.com which gets quite alot of hits everyday, I need a new header image for it.

     

    Whoever can design an ill digigtal or hand drawn image, no bigger than 800x600, can have there image with name on the bottom of the shot, and have a link to their site (if they do).

     

    I want the image to have something to do with trains, subways, or tunnels, or any cool underground space, I was thinking about having someone draw a character with a flashlight lighting up a tunnel.

     

    If no one wants to do it its fine, I am just wondering.

     

    I got three ill digital photographs you might like if your interested pm me.... or post an email adress

  4. I think alot of people concentrate more on the now instead of then. Were all so caught up in whats out on the markets now that we dont stop to remince on where individuals have come from. For example you see articles about DALEK and you see the here and now. I have an article on him and it mentions little to do with his past and more of where hes going and what hes doing. thats just waht i think. i know i have done that with a few artists.

    i could never hate on someone for making money.

     

    As a real estate mogul I wouldn't hate on D Trump for using his knowledge about real estate to make money and call him a sell out.

     

    Inventors Dont hate on Mr. A Bell for the Telephone.

     

    It's all about a PRODUCT. If you could invent a Device that everyone in the world wanted to buy from you would you sell it?

     

    Well, DALEK invented a space monkey that some people want to buy.

     

    I agree with you and every one else its just my preconcieved notion was that he had origins going back to graff i didnt mean to call him a writer thats just how i catagroized him as an artist. i am not hating on him its just after having had a skateboard since i was 5 and now being 23 and then flipping through a magazine and seeing his work and then seeing the shoe he has kind of made me wonder what the fuck i have alot of work that should be out there but its not and made me jealous thats why i posted it like that. merely venting thats all i guess.

  6. So he's out there making money off his work and I am not... Here is the latest that i pulled out of transword skate today.

    img005.jpg[/img]

     

    I have been seeing alot of his work over the past year. He has managed to achive some good sucess but i am not sure what to make of it though. He went from graff artist to now he's got his work with various companies. Is it a good thing or a bad thing. I think i just maybe jealous or some shit.

  7. Ok so i just read a locked thread about home made stickers. I got a better idea tha home made stickers. Some of you who have been around for a bit and know anything about street art would know about this. Wheat pasting. Real simple to make and use.

    1. Wheat flower

    2. water(mix till its a thick enough consistancy and sticky like paste)

    3. a simple peice of paper, drawing, card stock or what ever the hell you want to have permanently pasted to the surface of your choice.

    4. take that peice and rub the wheat paste on the back coating the whole back and rub it onto your surface. paint rollers are good to smoothen it out and get an even rub on it.

    5 alternative put the wheat paste on the surface then just put the peice on the onthe sruface and rub it on smoothly. Good luck with it, i have never seen this on the site and have been around for some time even though it says rookie, here is an alternative to makeing the paste. My Webpage

  8. The explotation of this game and any such movie on a big screen version would be a huge impact on the culture of graff. Look at the people that have paved the way for graff. There are people out there now adays that are using graff for money and profits. every where you turn graff is completely immersed in our society. last week alone i went through about 7 magazines all of which had at least ONE graff based ad. Graff is one of the most mistunderstood forms of art present in our society. There will never be a complete understanding of it from the outsiders prospective. To many its business, to some its life, to others its a fucking joke, and to alot of people its a hurtful, vandalistic, expresionistic form of art. i am curious to see what kind of film could be made, i mean look at how many dvd's are out about graff now. But what most people dont know is they already exist. I think the movie will cause a terrible epidemic of graff wanna be's. Take the Fast & Furious for example. where i live so many assholes ran out souped up their cars went racing and got arrested or had their cars impounded, a few of which even killed a few people while attempting to be somebody. Mark my words the same thing will happen if that movie is created. Its going to take it to another level in which alot of people will suffer from...

  9. I have seen some people mention drugs, if you are into drinking alot smokin alot and other types of shit and you are predisposed to mental disorders heavy drug use and alcohol can casue the sympotms of mental disorders to appear. The brain is a very complex system that is hard to figure out. Pistaccio is right dont diagnois your self seek the help you think you need. Theres always someone to listen to you and maybe tahts all you need. Good luck...

    (CBS4) STOUGHTON Stoughton police say they used the popular teenage website, myspace.com, to help solve a widespread vandalism spree. Three teenagers are currently under arrest and facing charges in the spree which cost an estimated $75,000 in damages.

     

    18-year-old *********** has been charged with 28 counts of tagging property and 11 counts of malicious damage of more than $250; ******* 17, has been charged with 17 counts of tagging and 11 counts of malicious damage of more than $250; and ***********, 18, has been charged with 14 counts of tagging.

     

    Investigators found the suspects after searching myspace.com, a web site where users often post personal information and photographs. The suspects' names were not listed on the site but the officers were able to track them down by their tagging signs and by investigating a group called "Graffiti Artists."

     

    Police say two of the suspects have been forthcoming with information and have contacted some of the victims to arrange for restitution.

     

    you know the phrase "you find one, you find them all." on myspace? ya, i think people should start rethinking what they post on there.

     

     

     

     

    EDIT: Dont use real names. Even if it's been posted elsewhere online, we dont want names used here.

     

     

     

    Thats fucking gay, they only use that becasue they are to lazy to get off their ass's and do it themselves so they use their puters to find writers for them...

    Is anyone struggling with bi polar disorder? I have not yet been diagnosed but those around me say for sure im bi polar. I recently just scheduled an appointment with a shrink and hopefully meds will be given to me... My homies say my mood swings are out of control and my rage is even worse.

     

    I dont even think there is a word describing my type of anger. I go from thinking happy thoughts one second, then my mind drifts off to someone getting pussy pounded, then to me wanting to kill anyone and everyone. Right now im thinking clearly, but probably in a half an hour i wont even remember writing this thread, and it'll seem as if i am coming down off coke and i must admit, its the worst feeling ever. What i do to ignore my moods rapidly dropping is take it out on others and call them hurtful names, and somehow that makes me feel better. At the age i am right now i know im learning about life an growing but i doubt its normal to be so angry and violent. The thought of me getting worse then hurting people worse than i do now, scares me... I have beaten my older sister and slammed her head against my table and not even knowing it until i see her on the ground crying, i've also choked my friend in one of my classes without even realizing as well.

     

    People please share your thoughts on this subject, if you are a victim of this type of harrassment, or if your bi polar and what you have done to help these irrational thoughts and violence.

     

    Ok first i want to say its a sad and tough thig to go through, but its also no joke either. You should treat it with a little more severity than you are. its a life changing disorder that affects everyone in your family. i have seen just how hurtful it can be to others. a firend of mine's father suffers from it and its a terrible and sad dissord but when treated properlly life can be ok. BUT there are alternatives to taking meds, ask the threapist when you meet with them.

    Why don't U.S writers paint trains? This has got me stumped.

     

    I have seen all the world VS u.s arguements on this board and hopefully this will not turn into one. I am very interested in why there is a small or non existant train scene in the U.S

     

    First off why this confuses me.

     

    I come from a city with a population of under 2 million that has a large urban sprawl. The train system is by comparison to anywhere else extremely small. Five lines, all under an hour to travel from one end to the other.

     

    What stops us painting trains?

     

    -Electric fences

    -Sensor fences

    -Sebsored yards

    -Guard dogs

    -Alot of guards

    -razor wire trenches

    -Fucking MOATS (yes 6m moats full of water like the fucking dark ages)

     

    Does shit still get crushed?

     

    Fuck yes. We even manage to get our shit running in traffic depending on layup and backjump times.

     

    Why then in a city as incredibley populated as NYC do trains never get done?

     

    Every train system in the world needs layups for dealing with track clashes. A system that carries 7 million or something a day surely has to have A FUCKING LOT of trains which in turn equals MULTIPLE LARGE yards to store them.

     

    What other cities in the U.S have train systems? <-- I would really like to know this

     

    I thought maybe it was just an evolution within the country a move away from trains and onto street bombing. But then I see how much the freight trains catch love so that theory went out the window.

     

    If you love street bombing and throwups (I do too) but you love painting freight trains (me too) then how is real steel panels on a clean commuter not held in the 1st place regard ?

     

    The only defense I have ever heard is that they are 'too hard' to be done in NYC.

     

    Again I am not trying to start any kind of fight but to state FACTS the tourists that visit NYC absolutely KILL trains.

     

    This thread has been sparked by the mass transit strike that has hit NYC. It makes me want to keel over and die thinking of not being there for that situation. Please tell me someone is taking advantage of it.

     

    So to round off this chapter of undrafted semi drunk dribbling train passion can some U.S writers shed some light on ....

     

    How much steel actually does get painted?

    OR

    Why steel dosnt get painted?

    OR

    Again, what other cities have transit systems?

    OR

    any other similar shit you think I might want to know

     

    Peace in advance to the cats that might drop some knowledge and eat a dick to the generic 12oz toys that will come in to throw some hate in any and every thread they find

     

     

    I read this post and i thought to myself that you must be the toy that you speak of because if you werent a toy yhen you would know and have enough knowledge to not even need to ask about trains. And one more thing where are you living anyways to say that trains arent getting painted. Where i am from you see every other train being hit. So i think you need to get back in the toy box and really think before you post...
