I just see bombing as...well bombing. I feel its to start people off and get up quick and easy. Pieces otherwise take time and lots of skill, color, and shouldn't be started till you've been handling cans for about a year id say. Where im from, i prefer pieces, simply because theres too many bombs and people dont really enjoy them...but when me and friends pass by a piece or legal, they go "WOW"!

 

Speaking of legals, i dont see why theres soo much hate on them.:confused:

thats becasue legal walls arent realy graffiti. i mean think about it, they actually have permission to do it, they get paid, and its totally legal touble free. wtf is that, well its definatly not graffiti, its just a different type of with a different type of canvas.

3 posts up... you are wrong. graff is about getting your name out there with dope styles. who the fuck cares how it got there, getting up legally is still getting up and gets your name out there jsut as much as an illegal.

I think it all depends. Chill spots, public walls, and places where you can stop to take a look at what you're doing deserve a piece. Hectic spots, and illegal walls get a throw-up. But i'd prefer to see a piece, they're more artistic. Which is why true writers do it. Throw-ups are just for fame.

to all those who even think they compare, you should all shoot your self in the faces. they will never be able to be on the same level. if you can not peice then try. practicing will truely help. to those people who settle for only bombing, are simply toys. toys a shit heads.

I never really had a preference, but all i really want to get good at right now is bombing to develop can control and just to have an idea of what is going on with piecing I love it and give props to anyone that ATTEMPT its...:D

bombing paves the way for pieces. They're both really important but sometimes when I see a throwie or tag by one person over and over, even if it looks good it gets old fast when you know that's all they can do. You gotta backup your tags and throwies with style and skill, which can best be expressed in a nice piece. I can respect people who get up all over but when you begin to notice that's all they do it's a dead end road.

See, that is what I am saying spec, I definitely think that it is all about a well rounded graff experience. Ya need to do a little bombing, and a little piecing, and it don't matter what order they go in, just as long at ya get up and out...

That's a "not-truth" if I ever heard 1! Not any kid can bomb. I still have a hard time trying to get a consistent style going with throwies and inconsistency is a bit more noticible in bombs. I know plenty kats who hide their lack of letter style in wildstyle pieces. It really pisses me off. Over all, to me, you should try to be well-rounded in both aspects. As far as getting your name out, bombs work better. Not only will other writers see you but the public will also. Piecing is like math.... The main reason(not the only reason, but the main) piecing is important is to show that you are able to execute it. That's pretty much it. But it's a tideous, time consuming, expensive sometimes, way of gettin up. But when you get it, the shit is crazy ill!

i like bombing better personally. simply cause anybody can piece if they take enough time and practice while doing it. bombing takes guts/willpower/risk, etc....:D

 

i myself though, enjoy both, i have nothing against piecing.

What level are you at?

 

In my opinion there is an evolution to the writer that most people over look. Just as a child from birth must be encouraged to sit up, crawl, stand up, walk then run, Writers go through the same type of development. First on paper they learn the "tag" and go through a whole bunch of names and styles (at least trying to develope one), from there the walls are next, learning how to translate what they imagine to the surfaces of the public at large (that's an "ACTION" called bombing, getting up, tagging, rocking, etc.) In my opinion Taggers/Tagging is like crawling, it is a stage, some do it better than others and some for alot longer. Almost to the point of achieving a profesional level of crawlers, Most true writers go through this stage of development. Then along comes some sort of influence that evetually helps them to develope into the world of piecing. Piecing like most people here have admitted that it takes another level of skills that not all are willing to develope or learn (IT IS A CHOICE TO LEARN). Piecing which in my opinion is the reconstuction of the alphbet (as in tagging) takes alot more time which devlopes into skills. Piecing brings together letter style with color/colors, and like with taggers some do it better and some for a longer period of time. Some are weekenders or part-timers, It's a fad for most and never really last for too long. A few others dedicate almost every waking hour to the development of their need to go bombing with pieces. Almost anyone can run, a few become runners, spinters, but few become atheletes in the game!!! Just think about it, the only difference that one person has than another is the level of dedication to what they want to do. In the begining I was a small time tagger, I was always looking to grow and develope to become better til I became a writer that bombed with pieces. At my highest level I did about 150-175 pieces a year with a career total of about 750 and that to me was alot. My boy "Porn" out dedicated me by doing about 250-300 per year for a career total of over 1100-1500 pieces, now that's dedication. For those of you out here that don't believe it we got the fliks to prove it. But what does it matter now? People sometimes ask whatever happened to "Porn & Frame" I'll tell you........We grew up, grew old and grew a familiy. And as you can see still look in to the graff world (from the outside) to see what going on, PEACE..........................FrameOneDTKcrewLosAngeles

As a prolific bomber Ive become bored of doing tags so mastering piecing for me is a logical step. Ill post some of my efforts here soon.

piecing

 

It's all about combining the two, bombing w/pieces. Theres nothing like seeing a freestyle funk piece on a rooftop/fire escape ect. My favorite writers have always been those who find a balance between the two, getting up, and creating their own unique style. I'm a big fan of writers like Flush, Ayer, Ozie, cayper, Setup ect. It just seems somewhat redundant to do the same throw over and over a thousand times, but it's still really important to have your stuff seen. I'd rather have a few pieces in hot spots then the whole city killed with throwups, that's just me though.

you cant have pieces without bombing, bombing is the early stages of a writers development, u go from bombing, to throw ups, to silvers , into pieces, each time trying to develop your skills and get yourself an alround game...

 

i think you can tell what sort of seen a city has by its bombing seen, look at cities like london, newyork, amsterdam, paris, berlin all are totally bombed and all have good active seens going on.

Bombing or Peicing???

 

They are both integeral parts of graff...and as others have said there is an obvious evolution between the two, although this is not so obvious these days because through so mmany ppl puting in work into graff both bombing and peicing have diversifiesd somwhat...

I will say this though: if you dont have a nice tag you will never peice well....yeah ppl may put together some pretty wildstyle with a lot of colours and such but a peice should be judged first and formost by the outline ie the letters...

Yes peicing is far more technicly developed than bombing but this has swung alittle too far in my opinion...alot of peices these days are technicly brilliant but lack alittle somthing called SOUL!!!!!

this is somthing a tag will never lack, no matter shit the style...

I have come too this realisation over the last year, up untill recently i have been a peicing man straight up but now im alittle over it.....

bombing is reall and cannot be debated..piecing is alittlre iffy these days.
