probably the same dave that puts posters up all over s.f now?

"but i think that ONLY sticker bombing isnt real graf"

one, personally, i dont want to be associated with graffiti for what i do...graffiti ruined my life.

 

"to explore new things, and by new things, i don't mean putting a flower in your characters hand."

two, i like the flower in her hand

:p :D

 

"i think there are probably some people here who have no interest in really 'expressing' themselves, or trying to push themselves creatively or otherwise."

three, i dont know if you were including me in this, but i have many ways that i express myself, and i do have much interest in this. im not trying to prove myself or anything, i just get bothered by things like this.. im a quiet person with a lot on my mind and a lot of problems in my life that i cant express through words...i make stickers, doing a little character might not seem much to you, but doing a character with his head bleeding and a hole where his heart was is how i felt during that session, and these stupid little characters mean a lot to me...its not a cry for attention or anything, i just need to get feelings out and i get them out through a marker and some paper...they keep my mind off of things that i dont necessarily want to think about.. i also paint canvases and create digital artwork as well and have had solo shows with the digital work. and Dave from sf is a great artist, ive traded/talked with him a few times and he has had nothing but love for my characters...its always the writers who have a problem because they are in the graffiti mindset. my self expression isnt graffiti, and there are no rules.

 

since stomah started this thread i have been contributing photos of my work...in the beginning, me and stomah were the only two posting, then little by little kids became interested in the medium and began working as well...ill admit that sometimes when i see a new character come up i think that it could have more work done to it, but who am i to tell someone else what to do? if they like it then who cares thats what matters...

 

 

and seeking, i remember your stickers those were nice as hell...you have great artistic abilities and i can tell you spend time for each idea, i can only take mine so far...i want mine to be basic and to get the point across...Bob takes on the roles of humans...from a police officer to a bride and groom, or even superman...its all to make peoples walk down the street a little more exciting and colorful instead of the usual cold, gray colors of the city...and when i need to get something out, youll see it in the characters.

 

ok less talk and more flicks, this is getting rediculous....ill post a picture later on of a bob and mf toro i threw up real quick today..

I would all let you know what SLYDE is about and what it means but no sense in telling story unless face to face. Right fantom?

Best we leave it offline if you don't mind dude. It had to do with one of the banned members here from your area. Not really my business I understand just heard from fellow friend. If you continue to grow intrest in it, feel free to email me.

wow. i haden't seen anything new by dave in years. he got all colorful and exciting.

glad to see he's still around. DOD, next time you speak with him, give him the blessings of a complete stranger who always loved seeing his stuff.

 

DOD,

i was not talking about you specifically at all. you're one of the few people i've noticed in here that really seems to try doing things and puts alot of effort into it. if there was a flower in the hand of one of your characters, it was completely coincidental. either way though, theres no need to defend yourself to me or anyone else. i could really care less what you guys do. it makes no difference to my life. i was just trying to maybe put a nicer spin on what asoka said, and express a couple ideas of my own. trust me, i understand what you mean by using stickers as a way to work through issues. i do the same with the stickers i make, the same with painting. it might not seem very related, but it all ties together in my own head and that's all it needs to. if it makes you happy and keeps you healthy, then who cares what i or anyone else says?

apologies are for the weak and the wrong.

so how about we all agree that "street art" and "graffiti" are on two seperate levels of vadalisim?

If not, oh well. All I know is that I'm gonna keep doing what I love to do, and somebody expressing thier opinion over the net is in now way gonna have an effect on it.

 

now lets all go out and mess up something that we don't own.

great post frost, good to see you put up them monsters. how has the scribbling been? has it increased? i dont think ill be able to make it over there until next week because of these rediculous gas prices, unless you want to go tomorrow if youre going to be there...one day we should meet up and go on a mission to just cover up our dissed work and reclaim the area...if you get this and are going tomorrow or want to just give me a call tonight, ill be up...

SERIOUSLY, THE ONLY WAY YOUR GONNA STOP THIS GUY FROM SCRIBBLING OUT YOUR SHIT IS TO GO ON PATROLES IN HIS FAVORITE AREA AND CATCH HIM IN THE ACT. ROLL AT LEAST 2-3 THICK. IF THERES TOO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THEN SIMPLY FOLLOW HIM UNTIL YOU HAVE HIM BY HIMSELF AND BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM. ROLL ON THE PUSSY. CAUSE YOU KNOW HE'S LAUGHING AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHEN HES DISSING YOUR SHIT, AND THE ONLY WAY HE'S GONNA STOP IS IF YOU SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF HIM AND THE ONLY WAY THAT IS GONNA HAPPEN IS IF YOU FUCK HIM UP. WORST CASE SCENARIO IF YOU GET CAUGHT JUST TELL THE COPS THAT HE'S A GRAFFITI WRITER THAT WROTE ON YOUR HOUSE AND YOU FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO HIM (HE'S ALREADY GOT A MARKER ON HIM). TELL THE COPS HE WRITES SIK. :lol: :lol: BETTER YET JUST BE SMART AND DONT GET CAUGHT STOMPING THE PUSSY.OR YOU COULD GO THE GHANDI ROUTE AND HOPE HE'LL JUST STOP, BUT GHANDI WAS A PUSSY. ASK PERRO ABOUT HOW FAST HIS SHIT STOPPED GETING RAGGED AFTER I CAUGHT THE CULPRITS IN THE ACT, SMACKED ONE OF EM WITH MY BIKE LOCK AND WALKED AWAY WITH THEIR PAINT.

Its ECH that is just vandalizm and not Graff, but STICKERS STICK ON THE WORD GRAFFITI

 

Who ever thinks that STICKERS are not a part of GRAFFITI is dead wrong.

Its a way to get up, a graffiti technique, IT Is more Real in Graffiti then a piece in your room. (thats if its posted outside)

 

Stickers are in the Bombers Branch, putting it like this to express myself better.

On the MAJORITY of the busy city blocks, you can't just bust out 2 markers and begin to do a CHARACTER or a Small Gettup, theres not enough time, or too many people walking by.

So thats where this TECHNIQUE comes in, you do something nice on a STICKER and put it up somewhere where you won't be able to take your time in or on.

 

Don't hate the technique, Stickers is a way of getting up, and GETTING UP IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ROLES GRAFFITI HAS.

 

So if some still disagree with Stickers being a part of Graffiti, then you might as well say Markers are not a part of graffiti.

And if your point is that its not Graffiti because they rock CHARACTERS, then your Discrediting and also saying that 70% of the dopest PRODUCTIONS IN GRAFFITI HISTORY are not GRAFFITI because they have characters.

 

Theres ART and an ASPECT of ART inside of GRAFFITI.

 

THERE ARE RULES TO THIS GAME, THERE ARE RULES IN GRAFFITI...

But theres no discrimination on LABELS or STICKERS or ANY MEANS OF GETTING UP, and EXPRESSING YOUR SELF, and PROTESTING, OR PUTTING YOUR MESSAGE, YOUR VIEWS, YOUR FEELINGS, YOU LOVE OUT THERE...

 

So AGAIN, IF I Knew that on that street pole I could only bust a quick handstyle with a marker or can, I would rather take my time, bust a nice piece on a STICKER and go back there and put it up.

Its not the size, its called a PIECE because its short for MASTERPIECE.

 

These words came from a loyal, well dedicated, active writters, thats been painting for years, and at one point, as a toy I did Stickers, and now as a Real Writter, Im doing STICKERS AGAIN, and theres nothing but good in it.

A WISE MAN ONCE TOLD ME, TO TELL YOU THIS

 

I liked what FRoST just said.

"...stickers isnt graffit? its getin up no matter what...i can write in crayons and thats being up...it aint the best method but its up..."

 

I highly agree, I've been writting for years, and when I was younger I racked and racked markers and all that, I used them so hard and so much they all ran out, and thats not all I did I also painted with cans.

 

But now, I don't rack, IM DRUG FREE NOW, but thats another story.

So getting markers is hard, why, I have the money for it, but I don't want to pay that much for Markers, its bad enough its expensive to bust a couple of pieces....

So I get markers when they come, when I find them or when someone gives them to me.

 

My point is, that during the years and the 10,000 tags I have put up, the ones that last the longest are MEAN STREAKS, OIL PASTELS, OR CRAYONS.

Just now, recently, I started getting up with CRAYONS, Thats all I have, little pieces of broken Crayola CRAYONS that I found in a box.......

 

UP'S is UP'S, and thats BOMBING, THE CITIES MY BLACKBOOK, I COLOR IT UP.

To tell you the truth, most permanent markers don't last more then a month here in FLORIDA, with the sun and rain, its all gone.

OIL PASTELS have lasted, I still see some of my tags running from the 90's with them....

Even PAINT MARKERS, they fade after a while, still on the surface, but they loose their dark color, red usually turns white...

 

Point blank, the last 3 days, I've thrown up at least 200 Handstyles.

WITH CRAYONS, but its never going to chage the fact that I got UP.

 

Peace and GOD BLESS.

where was this picture taken??

 

it's on church street, stoke newington, london, uk. outside the vortex jazz bar. I work about twenty metres away from it!

 

that corner has a bit of history. First it was claimed by RD crew, then banksy dropped a nice stencil of the guard pissing ink onto the wall, then shogi (rd) did a throwie over it, then banksy did one of the biggest stencils ever on it, then welsh and shogi wrote on it..

 

banksy's turn.
