Most of the work is done by locals so far, but we are trying to turn it into a midwest graffiti vacation spot. That is why I made this thread- to try and get out of state heads interested in coming to paint. Last weekend we had Daesk and Biafra out from Minneapolis along with a film crew. They had a blast. Their hotel stay was given to them free of charge by a hotel directly attached to the alley, and we supplemented their paint. We're pretty good hosts out here as long as you're not a dick. We're trying to get a midwest graffiti jam going out here next year with the help of some friends in the bigger surrounding cities (Denver, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Chicago). As for Sturgis, it's about half an hour away. We couldn't score you free rooms during that time of year because everything is packed during that time, but that's how we met Chicago O.G. Fess this year. He stumbled upon Art Alley on the way out of town after Sturgis. He'll be back next year too. And if you've seen a picture of Rushmore, it's not much different looking at the real thing. It is one big ass piece of graffiti tho. [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img]

"Nobody" speaks for everybody. The internet doesn't have a dictator yet. Only a bunch of cats and bad spelling. You adapt your game to the city you live in. Although almost every artist shown in this thread has done non-legals at some, or many points, the reality is that you're not going to get very far bombing in a place with a population of 75,000. This isn't a major metro city. You're also likely to get heated up pretty quick, and so you adapt. We have a resource here in the heart of our downtown that increases our quality of life. Working with what we have, we are able to make extra income off of commissioned murals, art shows, community projects, etc. We have started a mural funding program, so that we don't even have to pay for our paint. Since July, we've gone through over $4000 in materials, wholesale through Art Primo. Painting legals got me out of working 12 hour days at a mine. I work for the Arts Council now, setting up skateboard and kidrobot art shows, doing blackbook sessions, arranging public murals, and hosting out of town artists when they come to paint. We have three coming from Minneapolis at the end of this week. It's a dream job, and at the end of the night I get to go home to my wife and kids rather than being stuck in county with a bunch of assholes. I was even able to get one of our writers a 12 day leave from county to participate in an art exhibit. I will always have the upmost respect for the writers out there taking chances, and sticking with traditional graffiti. That's the essence of the game. It just isn't a sensible option for us out here though. If legals aren't your thing, this thread isn't for you. My city gives a fuck about legal walls. [/img]

[/img] ^^That's Art Alley. The other place was Harley Davidson. [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img]

[/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] ART ALLEY- Rapid City. 1 city block long in the heart of downtown. No rules. No permits. Tens of thousands of tourists come through this alley every year. An average of 8 thousand locals visit it every Thursday night for Summer Nights festivals. Come paint. The locals are friendly as long as you show us respect.

Thanks. There's still a rooftop going south on I-5 that says "God bless this man.. Rest in power Kerse" on it. The buff is strong right now. I came thru a couple years back and there were a gang of freeway spots. Now, almost nothing. You guys must've got a new police chief. Lol. I'll quit jabbering and post some flicks in a bit.

I'm up from Rapid City for the week and looking for supplies. Art Primo has bunk hours. Who else sells caps? Big ups Zeb, Heck, Aerub. Some choice spots. Rip-Kerse. Didn't even know till I saw it on a rooftop from the freeway.

This thread specifies in the title that it is "without crappy pics".. I miss Seatown, but I hope it's popping off harder then the last 10 or so pages of this "crappy pic-less" thread. Oh well. Big ups to Seed. We spot his freights out in South Dakota from time to time.

Smaze karak... I don't know what the fuck my scanner did to it. Turn your screen upside down or stand on your head providing you don't have to pee!

I took these flicks in 92-93 in downtown Seatown as a kid. Finally scanned 'em. Big ups DVS!

Solid!

^^^ I would recomend worrying more about getting down a solid style than individuality. With the exception of the blockbuster, those are pretty weak, but whatever, do your thing.

hahaha... That's golden. Stay up brother.

Haha.. Yeah, I learned that AFTER I pasted that shit up. I've accidentally Mispelled shit half a dozen times putting something up. I needz portable spellcheck.:(

That's hot.^^^ Feelin those Neber bomb sticks too. I don't trade. I'm a terrible sticker thief. How come 12 oz. doesn't have a poster thread? MY BAD.......I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE OTHER STICKER THREAD. SORRY. .

Yo, where is this and where'd you get one of my Cezr Hearts at?! Thanks for the ups man. What do you write? Nevrmind. I firgured it out. What up M+S!

Not lookin for trades.

Haha thanks. I bit the little organic looking swirls off your flow. Did you ever notice that? :lol: You should post the rest of your recent sticks. I saw some other illness on BS. Looks great. I like the randomness of the quotes.

haha... Those are my wifes. I took the flick in the babies room. Figures my old ladies shoes would get more attention then my sticks.... I'ma have to start taking street shots.:lol:
