[Train Detection Systems]

To all the people saying "they have more to worry about," graff is costing many train companys, etc a LOT of money... so it would make sense for them to install some sort of deterrent/monitoring device, especially in places like NY or LA or the Chi where graff is big

[Why do guys pick graffiti over girlfriends?]

Seriously guys, I want some honest advice and not some smart assed comments. :hatred: I just broke off a relationship with a guy who reads and posts on 12oz. Our relationship was pretty awesome except he would choose graffiti over me on many occasions. I know this is common and I just wondered if I could get a for-real reason why. Thanks to you who respectfully answer my inquiry! Peace :confused2:

Because graff will never leave you...

Graff will never cheat on you...

Graff can give you more of a thrill than some women can...

Graff will never send you off....

Graff will never break your heart

Graff will never have your child

Graff will never give you nasty ass/weird bumps...

Graff will never bitch and whine non-stop....

[Graffiti vending machine? What what?]

where's my brick?!

[YOU ARE A TOY IF....]

IF YOU DO ANY OF THE BELOW THINGS AND THOUGHT IT IS OK, THEN YOU ARE A TOY...

 

if you ... Left all your empty cans of paint (with fingerprints) on the ground just below your illegal piece, throwup etc,

if you ... Post pictures of your work on a facebook, youtube, myspace or any other social network account - with the account being UNDER YOUR REAL NAME!!,

if you ... Reply to peoples comments on your network account with answers such as: yes, I did it at 2am and it's under so and so bridge at this end of the city...,

if you ... Start doing graffiti, and after a few months or 1 year, you think you are the shit and either, a: challenge the other people who have been in it for years by saying shit, going over their work, writing wak crap near their shit or just having some stupid ego about your shit - remember ESPO (Philadelphia) has the best explanation for you kid: YOU SUCK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE !!!! - translation = you will find out from others if you are even worth mentioning, it's not you who decides if you are good or not!

if you ... Put ''King'' or little crowns above your piece or tags is the dumbest thing you can do if you are new in the game,

if you ... Dont know or don't acknowledge the history in your area or the people who have been in it in your area for much longer and by acting like you the main cat in the game now,

if you ... use a spray can to write your name on the floor in the huge hardware chain store right in front of the camera,

if you ... get all of your paint, caps or graff supplies from the internet using mommys and daddys credit card,

if you ... dont know shit about what commercial aerosol products you can rack caps from to work on commercial paints,

if you ... been in the game for 2-5 years and think your'e offcially still not toy, think again kid!!!!,

if you ... only paint once a month or less, .... GIVE UP! - you're wasting your time and moms / dads money,

if you ... cap, cross out other people who are real writers or been in it much longer than you just to be spoken about or to make a quick name for yourself,

if you ... only know graff terminology because a: you ''googled it'' or b: you read it in a graff book / magazine,

if you ... refer to a piece or throwup etc. as a ''tag'' of ''bomb'',

if you ... only do alot of graff now because you use graffiti paint such as: Montana (Spanish and German), Molotow / Belton, Ironlak, Sabotaz, Clash etc. etc. and can't do an ill peice or go bombing using normal commercial ''hardware store'' paint,

if you ... have a few nice sketches, yet fail to ever go out and paint any of it - the following is very cliche but it has to be said: PAPER DOESN'T COUNT!!

if you ... ever went on to youtube and typed: how to do graffiti, how to draw graffiti, graffiti tutorial etc etc.,

if you ... were inspired / started because of a TV game called ''MARK ECKO'S GETTING UP'' <<< this one should be in first place!!! ha ha fukkin toys!!,

if you ... have visited websites, groups, blogs and youtube that you learned or searched how to make home made inks, markers, stickers etc. etc, yet still ask moms and pops for their credit card and order shit from some internet site or go into your local graff store and buy some shit that you could have made yourself!!,

if you ... tag on private property, religious structures / buildings etc - (usually done so that your shit is shown in the local newspaper) - quick gay fame!!

 

:cool:

[bombing in a sletchy, risky place]

this is your idea of a hot zone? a fucking stop sign outside a grocery store try getting up on a billboard or bombing on main streets and shit.thats hot.or bombing in a gang infested neighborhoods and getting shot at.becuase thats what alot of these niggas are doing to get their little piece of fame.dont be a pussy just hit it and if your spotted run for it.you really probably shouldnt be writing in a upperclass neighborhood in the first place,i mean im guessing theirs not alot of spots to rock their in the first place except maybe a few stores here and there.you should probably quit real talk man.or at the very least go on hiatus to up your skills and up your knowledge.becuase it seems by this post and the one your posted in the toy thread asking about 360's that you havent been in the game for too long.

 

couldn't have said it better myself.

 

go big or go home. the grocery store'll prolly buff your shit the next day, too. at least hit up a main street, or grow a pair and hit a freeway sign.

[Can i retrive my camera which the police confiscated from someone else?]

Gotta hit up the district that took the camera. If there were charges involved/it was used in a investigation, you're probably gonna have to get a court order, or an order from the arresting officer. Then again, it's different in each city.
