That RICH is killer! That never is like 2001 ish.

WOW! this thread is hurting big time...

Yeah Dude, Being washed up is rad! I am. lol

Interesting article, thanks for posting it. I've read several just like it over the years. I find it odd that the police department with rather fight graffiti than drugs. Now don't get me wrong, I know the PPD is fighting drugs, but why waste your time, energy and tax payers money on people preforming art, base on letters? What harm is writing doing to Portland's residents? And whats this notion that graffiti breeds crime? Will someone please explain to me how drug and violent crimes are linked to graffiti? This is an angle the press and police have used time and time again with no statistic to back it up. What the hell do the police think? "I'm a drug dealer, so I'm going to sell my drugs over by that graffiti because it will look cool" "I'm going to jump this guy for his cash, that tag over on that wall is the perfect place to fight?" Come on? Wake the fuck up people. What the people of Portland and the police are trying to say is that they feel like everything is out of control when they see graffiti. Why do they feel that way? Because they dont understand it. People fear what they dont understand. People fight against what they can't control. Maybe the Portland people and the police should stop trying to fight graffiti and try to embrace it. Even the chief said -and I quote- "graffiti murals were an accepted and beloved part of the community" The more you fight something the more it fights back. Lets drop all this negativity and be positive about Portland's artist.

"TURDL SAYS DONT DO DRUGS" word!

Ich's radical, Rackets coming along nicely. There's no way they should be compared to one another. They are worlds apart in many ways. As far as Racket painting the same style over and over, Thats a good thing. From what I understand, he's some what new to this game. Rocking a simple style is what he should be doing. If you look at his work over this past year, you will notice his improvements. It's from his steady rocking of the same style that's giving him a fast track to understanding his letters deeper, Giving him more can control and confidence. This is what all new writers should do. Fr8's or on walls. Keep up the good work Racket!

Awesome post Mr. September. That Hebe is Epic! She climbed all the way up there on those pipes. But getting down, that was scary as hell she told me. If you notice the pipes bump out at the top. think about climbing down that. Intense!

oh now ya dun did it. Ya leaked it out on 12oz... Whats a poor man to do. lol On the real, some of those cans have exploded on me and others that used them. Its a 50- 50 if you get a good can.

Word Arkady! thanks for sharing that with us. I feel ya and I know where your coming from.

Now the question is, Does anyone have the asylum production the year before the seasons in the abyss? you can see the top of the Case character above the abyss. Anyone? anyone? lets see it!

Ser and Septs season was Spring. Ser went with earth tones in his 3Ds and Sept went with Sky highlights in his 3Ds. The skulls and bones were by Ich. there was more detail to the fills of Ser and Sept, but they get kinda lost in this photo. That Ich is killer and that Ice is cool, hey wheres that awesome guy Eli?? would be awesome to see him get down on this years asylum.

4 Seasons Asylum!!!! thanks for sharing. Does anyone have the whole wall? BTW that photo is framed perfect. with the side walk, looks like you could just walk on in to 4 seasons land.

Word Arkady and Big Dork! let it be known, you cant fake style and knowledge. If your biting, the real writers will know. Trust me. Also if your biting your killing valuable time that you could of been using to better understand your letters. For when one bites he does not learn, he only mimics. I'm talking knowing your letters inside and out. This takes time, lots of sketching followed by more sketching. It should be noted that studying others work is recommended. Learn your history and you will become a stronger writer. The number 0ne thing I see now a days that rubs me the wrong way is the lack of work put in by the newer generations. What I mean by that is: some younger writers are painting productions and famed legal walls with out working for it. A lot about writing has change in the last 10 years. I am in a unique position to observe the changes as I dipped out of the seen in late 2003 and reenter the seen in 2010. Some of the major changes I noted is the internet. The internet has formed writing into this world wide melting pot of styles, knowledge and even techniques. Writers are coming up much faster as a direct result of this.I think this is all good, but I strongly promote the concept that new writers should try to find a mentor to help bring them up correctly. If not a single mentor at least learn from who ever is before your time. There is a lot about writing that is outside of Style and Techniques that can only be pass on by proper upbringing. In fact I would not be where I am today if not for all of my mentors and friends over my 15+ years in this game. I am grateful to all those who helped me along my way. AEON, KORE, BERN, ZEAL, CASE, LEARN, LES, SELF, ERN, ASEND, LERK, JURNE, SEPT, TSA, LACK, SOKA, RICH, ICH, DOME, And any others i may have forgotten to name. Just some food for thought.
