  1. Everything about that THEME (except the last "E") is what you should be aiming for.

     

    simple, chunky, and full of style all at the same time

     

    check the lean on all the letters, how it all mostly matches, gives it nice movement and flow

     

     

     

    Heh... ghost images. still a pretty applicable image for a ghost image

  2. Right.... "once in a while"

    and you must think I have a crush on you if you think I'm going to spend my time trolling through all your internet garbage.

     

    /end

     

     

    Drafting tip: the blue grid lines on grid paper don't show up when you photocopy it. Do with that what you will internet friends

    well, the high quality grid paper anyways ....

  3. No problem. You could also take it one step further and lay down some vertical guide lines so that all your vertical thicknesses are on point too, and all the hole cutouts (P matching the A for example)

  4. here's a simple trick for improving that fat cap blocky

    The C and P, and the dash could all be lined up all nice like

     

    I'm not a man, fuck you very much.

     

    pitiful toy thread....hows that not hating on toys.....

     

    whatever dude....go in peace.

    Then you should stop trying to act like one.

    And yes, its pitiful, because of idiots like you

  5. alright thanks.

    what about the oris outline

     

    well to be honest, i couldn't really tell that it said ORIS, so.... not so good.

     

    Seriously, forget completely about extensions and connectors and trying to piece together all your letters into some form of a wild style. I know, it sucks, but once you figure out a really nice simple straight letter burner then you can start twisting it and adding arrows and extensions onto it.

     

    And believe me, no one has been able to perfect straight letters. they're the hardest thing to do, but also the most beneficial skill to master, because you can take all the rules and tricks you learn about composition, flow, structure, and everything else that you figure out by practice and apply it to wild style burners. You probably know all this already, really just writing it openly for anyone else who cares to read

  6. silo check out what criminl has been up to with their letters, you're jumping in too fast

     

    also, on a second note:

     

    When I look at graff I don't pick it apart and analyze the structure of every single bar and extension.

     

    you should start. thats how you learn to develop. I look at every single thing I see around me and ask myself "How can this be improved"

    if you can look at a piece and there is not something that you can't see any room for improvement on, then either you're ignorant or its a decent piece.

     

    No one's perfect, at least you're right about that. But that opens the door for your own development if you can see those faults

  7. When I look at graff I don't pick it apart and analyze the structure of every single bar and extension.

     

    I only analyze the shitty bars and extensions and structure

     

    But I'm still feelin the flik....nice use of colors. Fuck the haters. No one is perfect.

     

    Haters? if I were a hater I wouldn't be in this pitiful toy thread here giving my opinion.

     

    What are you, 12? Instead of trying to sound like a big man, you should focus on your own work and fuck off very much thanks.

     

     

    @silo: forget about arrows and extensions for now. They might be fun and all to throw in, but at the state you're at you really should focus on banging out nice solid simple letters. They're the foundation. Can't stress that enough

  8. I don't get it lol, I'm completely lost.

     

    I'm just saying, the pictures you took are over contrasted, I can't tell what the real colours look like, takes away from the art as a whole

     

     

    And in terms of posting other peoples work, I'll put it to you this way.

     

    I'm not about to go post a piece by picasso in here, just because "its on canvas and its hard"

    You may not know it, but people who just don't fucking have a clue will think that its YOUR work. and thats STEALING. the dude who posted those alex pardee pieces (no matter how dope they are) is WRONG because noobs who just sift through this forum think its that persons work.

     

    post your own work. thats the whole point.

  9. Abstract are good stuff

    I was just time traveling back in this thread and I think I've figured out what exactly it is about your canvases that doesnt feel "complete" to me. You should work on adding more thick-to-thins on your outlines, give certain curves some girth and accent as opposed outlining the entire piece with one thickness of outline.

     

    here's a shitty example of what i mean, check the black outline on totem's characters' hat, primarily the brim of the hatz

    also... you don't always have to outline in black :P

  10. We can't all be as good as you guys... I'll make sure to post some heaterz next time... thanks for the inspiration... hate on it's only gonna make me wanna get better to prove you wrong...

     

    Thats the spirit!

     

    Personally I think you need to spend a bit more time on concepts and design. I mean, you painted them, and they exist, but you need to hop on that next level tip and create stuff that is less generic and more unique!

     

    -jams

  11. Not a bad idea for computing a good composition, but also kind of useless once you take the plastic off :P lol

     

    i just use various light coloured paintmarkers when sketching stuff like that out *Shrug*

  12. Less quantity, MORE QUALITY

    cant remember if i ever posted this, if i did, go ahead and yell at me on the internet

     

     

    @perfectloveone- if you have a white bathtub, take flicks of your stuff in that, as opposed to setting up a white paper background and such

  13. That Silo painting for a grand, is a could set price.... And a modest one at that.... Artist especially 'graffiti' artist should price what they are worth. Graffiti is already cheapened by a million other variables.. The last thing that the movement needs is the artist themselves selling their self short on prices and patrons short on quality.

     

    This

  14. Everyone shut the fuck up and post something interesting for my eyes.

     

    a couple quick pieces for a show.

    spray paint and some marker action.

     

    3 feet by 3 feet each

    Not my best, not my worst, had to bust this shit out in an instant, and its a HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN TRYING TO DEFINE WHAT THE FUCK A CANVAS IS

     

    GROW THE FUCK UP EVERYONE JESUS

  15. $1000 is perfectly reasonable. Its all you guys undercutting yourself and devaluing your work that think thats expensive. Let me guess, the most you've chopped a painting for is what, $200?
