i only ever talk about graffiti with my closest friends and painting buddies.
if a random graffiti artist ive just met asks me what i write, i tend to tell them that i dont put up anymore, if they push me, i just tell them to go fuck themselves...
there was never a hiatus in graffiti, it just wasn't as mainstream as it is today. the majority of getting up done is in tags or throwies is because spending time on a piece today is dangerous.
plus some new jacks have no style and just like to see there nam up in lights.
i would like to believe that graffiti will keep going strong, but with terrorism in play, any kind of law breaking is getting hard to do....
it only fucks up your life if you get caught, personally that won't happen to me coz im a lazy prick and i almost never get up nowadays.
i find graffiti relaxing. time to kill? sketch. bored in a lecture? sketch.
just sketch.
ironlaks in the back thanks to the old formula sale at k and l's, only buy matt black, sky blue and chrome from dulux, everything else is shit.
2 nd cheapest paint in australia after exports, pretty decent too...
because graffiti actually interests a lot of people, but they just want to know about it, not actually committ. i only get up because i enjoy painting, if i lost that i would be out of it so fast...
run away!
haha....just get paranoid as all hell, keeps you on your toes, last thing you want to be is complacent and get busted for something stupid.
personally, the only thing i would want to get busted for is the crappy charge of possession of items of a graffiti nature.
juvey warning here i come!
one thing, random arrows are a big no no, all you really need to do is sketch night and day.
or find a style that you like and try to adapt it to your word, im not enouraging biting, just borrowing ideas...
Re: ARE YOU ALL FUCKING RETARDED?!
i know many a person who have been writing for a decent amount of time yet have not improved one bit, yet some knew jacks just starting to get up seem to have more style in their left arse cheek than most will ever...
just my opinion on the new kids on the block
on the location specific sites, its a good chance to see stuff from other writers, but inevitably ends up in a whole pack o whingers having a go at each other...
and then people like me telling them to shove their tins up their arses...
legal walls are good for praticing your stuff, but if you want to get known you are probably going to have to lose weight, build up stamina and learn to catch flys with chopsticks.
