  1. cool thanks for the info. those are good mags.
  2. ok thanks for the heads up. will do man. Ill pay 25 bucks for the crazy kings with mitch on the front holding some old school cans..
  3. I miss the magazines from the 90s. Sometimes i wish i can go back in time and cop me all the Can Controls, Crazy Kings, Under Covers, Hype, Fatcap, Xylene (from canada) etc. While You Were Sleeping used to be a badass magazine and had a badass video, until it started becoming trendy. Now all you see on the shelf is European mags and Juxtapoz (which is pretty much a mag to read on the toilet). When are the magazines that are out today, going to quit doing interviews with the same fucking people, or MC's. And taking their time putting in quality burners? We all know what a 2 color throwup looks like, but what about 20 or 30 pages of multicolor burners and freights? Honestly when i pick up a graffiti mag, im not gonna give 2 shits about who they interview. The only people we should be learning about is the pioneers who paved the way across the country. Some people dont even want to hear that shit however. I know wah wah wah. Im sounding like a baby, But someone needs to make a magazine out there that cuts out the bullshit and gets to the point. If anyone has any 90s mags for sale hit me up ill buy them all..... Im looking for crazy kings and early can controls.
  4. i blew ass under burnside bridge once. took some flicks of some freights and cut out.
  5. Taz and frustrate do badass work no doubt, and even though their legal artists, they have put alot of hard work into their paintings over the last 20 years. Are they graffiti writers? No. I used to paint off and on in the 90s, however i have been doing tattoo layouts, t shirt designs, and just barely got back into painting again, been painting non legal shit also. Am i a graffiti writer? No. Heres the thing people dont understand. You get into a hobby that grows on you, eventually becomes part of your life, and for some becomes a daily routine. You have kids, get a house, maybe land a cool career down the line, and when you start doing legal shit, people hate on you. If I love something so much but have a life ahead of me going on the straight and narrow, why the fuck am i gonna ruin that shit to get respect from people who dont give a fuck about me or my family? People i dont give a fuck about. And bomb freights or my city every day, Just so some 17 year old toy can say "OOOh damn that fools killin it" These days you have to do both, GET PAID as well as KEEP IT REAL with graffiti. Put in as much work as you can on the street but be smart about it. Im almost 35 years old. As long as i do a little graff here and there, im showing respect to the game, but at the same time making money as a side hustle. If someone wanted me to paint a 300 foot tall, bag of Ruffles on a building, said they would pay me 10 gees and pay for paint. Am i gonna sit there and think about it. No, im gonna get paid. BBOYS make money doing street shows, and broadway type shit. DJ's travel the world making money at clubs and doing shows, We all know how many MC's came up off the street to get paid, so its no different in our element. If you work a 9 to 5 at mcdonalds, but can burn a canvas in 3 hours that might go for 4-800, what are you gonna do.
  6. years ago i got a charge with criminal trespass. paid 1200 dollar fine, and paid another 800 dollars to have it expunged (cleared off my record) later. it was on union pacific property. they tried to make it more worse and say that the Rail road is just like the postal service. And if you tamper or deface anything postal its a felony. The judge didnt go for that and gave me a misdemeanor. after so long you can talk to an attorney and have it cleared off your record but you have to pay. Back then it was 800, who knows if they can even do that now.
  7. didnt you guys used to battle back in the day? i wanna say there was a dude from af or dk who died in action. fell off a bridge or somethin years ago. keep doin your thing, its always good to see old crews come back. i remember tmf dk and af back in the days when direct used to throw raves in ptown. thats old school.
  8. Thats right! i always was confused if that was a writer or not. that shit was clean.
  9. ANYONE HAVE ANY OLD SHIT FROM BACK IN THE DAY. (Robot, Crime, Jet, tooche, old tmf shit) or even way back the big ass THL on that soundwall. Any old pics of that brown building off the freeway that everyone used to rock. Post up the old shit.
  10. Hit this fool up dude. Mikey Ice 1 559 720 3628 tell him Scott sent you. he burned a couple for me on a cd for like 50 bucks. The only thing is that the tracking sucks sometimes. but he bought equipment to fix that shit. he doesnt write. Hes just a bboy with massive amounts of bboy footage, but has old graff shit too. Thats the thing about graffiti these days, nobody wants to give up connections! Ive never held back helpin another writer. thats the way it needs to be.
  11. lol i know. some things in here are pretty bad. someone should make a new cali topic but put the Real cali topic or something.
  12. Im from beaverton hailing in cali now. But im down to still represent for ptown..
  13. TCB for a tattoo i did for a homie [/
  14. Damn this thread needs some help. Mine isnt all that but ill post up what i got for cali.. I do think that most of the stuff in here does look toy. But dont take it as a dis, just practice up on your outlines and coloring, then come up in here. One of the first things to learn in graffiti (other than the rules of this shit), is to practice. And learn to take constructive criticism, when someone tells you your shit is wack. That should motivate you guys to try harder. Keep tryin though. Weve all been toys at ones point.
