I want to vote for the throwie battle, but I can't choose between RENO and EDOGG. Anyways, here's my FASHION entry. Sorry all mine are in black and white and on notebook paper.

Red

Yo cuze, here's your exchange. My camera isn't exactly the best, but I hope this is to your liking.

Eh.

I know it's after midnight, but the poll hasn't started so here it is. I wasn't going to enter cause I couldn't get it to work, and then I just started sketching in a class tonight and decided if I was using all that pen ink I might as well enter the sketch.

Yeah, it's called The Terrible T-Kid 170. It's not cheap, though. I picked it up for 40 with a discount. You can probably find it cheaper online though. If you don't like actually reading all of the stories then it's not worth it. His whole life story is in there, but the sketches and flicks are fire. It's probably tied for my favorite with Dondi White: Style Master General.

T-KID 170 did the ribbon thing an eternity ago. SEEN said it wasn't possible so T-KID did one like a scroll. The T-KID book is dope. If you don't have it, check it out. I think everyone's done one like that at some point.

I'm down. So you want me to do BENT or CUZE? Either one is straight. I'll let you know that me coloring it is unlikely. I'm taking a lot of classes right now and all I got is colored pencil. Do PRAISE for me.

You have drips because you let the can stay in the same spot for too long. Don't be afraid to get the can close to the wall, but it has to be moving AT ALL TIMES. That'll get you your clean dripless lines. Your fills need to be cleaner too. It all just takes practice. You'll get it down eventually. We all go through the can control shit. Also, the reason the yellow is showing through on your outline is because your fill is too thick. I know everyone wants an even fill, but don't waste your paint doing it on something that you're gonna have to outline in ten seconds anyways. Your lines need to be swift and efficient--at least in throws. Don't be afraid to trace over the line you're about to paint a few times before you actually let the paint flow. Can control is all about practice and muscle memory.

I'm down for an exchange. Here's a few sketches. First one says LOBSTER, just for fun. The other one is an exchange I did last year sometime as an exchange on here. I won't exchange random people. Post some flicks if you wanna exchange.

agreed. 110% I think some of them might just stay in those battles because there's a certain level of comfort in battling those at or below their level. That or their confidence level is low. I think a small handful of them could do well in here.

Can we all stop calling them 'forcefields'? Seriously, it's starting to get on my nerves. You can call it an outline, an outerglow, anything that isn't a term from Star Wars. I had never even heard that word until I came on the toy thread and now it's spreading like wildfire. No diss, for real. Just quit it with that word.

Thanks, but I don't write Spade. But thanks anyways.

Q, what are the specifics on the piece battle? Does it have to be colored?

I'm sorry-hold up. Didn't we just go through something very similar to this current argument with Optick? From a third person standpoint, no one needs to be telling anyone to go back to school if their words aren't even all spelled correctly-or even spelled out for that matter. So someone likes, and sticks to, an Old School style. Big deal, right? There are no rules that say that all writers have to have their own style. I still don't understand why everyone gets all pissy about not getting voted for. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion-unless you live in Cuba. For the record, stating that you know that someone was on a toy thread would also mean that you were on the toy thread, too. I'm pretty sure a lot of us check out the toy thread from time to time. I think it's entertaining, honestly. For real though, everyone just needs to chill.

NO MR. WIGGLEZ SHIT! STOP IT!

Fuck Mr. Wigglez, man.

Is there a graff jam in Nashville anytime soon? Seriously, it's time to get down. I'm not lookin' for names numbers none of that shit. A place, or the name of the jam, any of that shit. Info?

No, videos are the best kind of proof. They just got filmed doing a legal job. Even if MSK is painted illegally all over the US, no one can prove that it was the same guys and the same goes for any name painted. Doesn't even matter if it looks exactly the same as something you painted and got busted for, unless they see you, you admit to it, or there's film of it they can't prove you did it. There's artists all over the world that copy paintings, so why would it be impossible for someone to copy your name? There's all sorts of fun loopholes. Figure 'em out. You'll probably need them one day.

Can someone save the video and make a new link to it for me. Colleges suck sometimes when it comes to internet bullshit. Fucking Websense has it blocked for "Adult Content". Bullshit. I can't even get on BS on campus.

Yo 4horsemen, if you can't stand your own then you're too deep in shit you shouldn't be in. Like poopdick said, you put up and if you lose, you lose. Your boys oughtta just be there to hold you down if a bitch picks up a pipe or some shit. Where I come from it doesn't fly for everyone to jump in. If you can't do it on your own then that's some cowardly bullshit.

I only check back here every once in a while, and everytime I realize why that is. Most of y'all need to go back to the first few pages. GO SIMPLE! Some of y'all are focusin' too much on throws. Believe it or not, throws do have structure. AEGIS-That throw, honestly, is awful. I'm not on here to be a douchebag. Also, check out what EBA did to your flick on the last page. What he did over your sketch is simpler, and honestly better. DEFINE-Get simpler. Back to sketchin' the letters on your keyboard. It sucks, and it takes time, but you'll be thankful once you got it down. Also, don't worry about writing a six letter word, homie. I write a six letter word, and it's all good man. Just make sure you can bust out that hand quick and smooth despite the six letters. It's only one more than most people write. And at least you have the opportunity to write a real word. Not to say that people that don't write a real word are inferior or stupid, but people that don't write are going to more tolerant if it's a real word. If y'all don't care about whether or not people tolerate you, you need to get yourself in check. Those of us that HAVE been roped understand that there's a time and a place for this shit, and you HAVE to care to some extent what people think. ZEUS-Back to basics, bud. SPEC-The throw and the hand are on track. Good work, man. For real. SANK-The second one. And that hand needs some work, boss. A little style never killed anyone. But you've come a long way from those flicks you sent me in PM's. For real, those first few were God awful. AMKAH/SERB?-Everytime someone starts writing they think their hand needs to be a one liner. You'll find that sometimes it takes less time to not connect it, and honestly the hand is no good. When I started I did my S's like that in my hands when I wrote SISTINE [sEVEN LETTERS AND I PULLED IT OFF. Toy as shit, but I did it.] and it just doesn't look good. Try something a bit simpler. ABATE-You look like you have a grasp on structure and you've made up your mind on style. Work on flow, and go back to basics for a while. AND FINALLY... ALERT-...wtf are you still doing here man? Seriously, I'm pretty sure you and I both know you don't need to be here. Although that hand could use some work, but if you can paint like you sketch ain't no one gonna question that hand. In conclusion, GO BACK TO THE BASICS!!

STALKER, obviously you've never been busted before. Once you talk to your lawyer, ask him/her. I got all of my stuff back, but not paint markers. You'll have to fill out some papers I think or an application. It's worth a shot. They can't do any worse than say no. AND, don't take a backpack. And if you're just bombing don't worry about the mask. You won't be around fumes long enough to get sick. I've never worn a mask, but after a while I should get one. I've had headaches before and sneezed Watermelon, Coral Blue, and UFB before all at once. Prettiest rainbow I've ever seen. Hahahaha. Just take a plastic bag. Easy to ditch, and nothing that matters to you. Best of luck, man.
