phrenology Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Re: writers in action! nice shot! this says it all, why i got into graff in the first place - the chill, lone yard spot under the flood lights, trying to pull of a panel against the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oc80 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: writers in action! If it was real secure, there'd be aerosol detectors like a lot of big yards in the US have nowadays. Put it like this none of you foreigners will paint BART, youd be doing a term if you tried. eh, i dunno about that. bart gets done. it only runs 1 way, then gets cleaned. they have a vandal squad with the money to hunt you down, but if you ain't from the us, by the time some toy rats you out, you are long gone. if you are a local, just use a fake word, don't hit up crews, and don't visit the spot the next day with the paint still in your car, the writers that've gotten caught doing BART got caught because they made super-lazy mistakes, acting like it was all good. 1. BART actually spends the money to police their system, and their detectives get fat promotions for catching writers, they have a database with all the vandal squads in the US, it's a hobby for these fucks. when they caught the dude who did a BART whole car, they knew enough to try and get him extradited to copenhagen, but denmark didn't even care to press charges, with the poor lad giftwrapped and all. 2 the writers did some stupid shit during (taunting cops, calling them out by name) and afterwards to get caught. some professionalism would allow BART to get handled. Last time there was a wholetrain done, only one of the 4 writers got busted, and he did 30 days in county jail. there are other systems in the bay that're worth doing, caltrain, muni, vta (san jo), i 've seen panels run on muni for more than 3 days, which is long in the US. basically, just paint the systems that're the poorest. security is one of the 1st things to get cut from the budget. not to mention sf's had it's transit steady killed for decades now, just mostly with tags, it's got it's own style.. but these kids run the yards, know their transit system for real. americans do transit, and not as much as europeans do, but we yanks tend to paint everything (sometimes a bad thing), streets, and commercial vehicles.. i think the average euro writer gets a new hobby after a few years of activity. MOAS, THE, and Oclock are obvious exceptions.. the writers in the US who do transit, are some of the most active in the country, on streets as well, they don't limit themselves to transit, although I for one would never paint a street spot again, if i could just have a single reliable backjump or lay-up spot in a city that'd last more than 2 months. americans just don't get gorilla enough. that's another reason why we lag. there is this sense that subways are of the past, just not do-able. in the early 90s i remember walking through caltrain lay-ups with bags of paint, walking past the trains, to paint the tunnels. the trains just seemed too awe inspiring.. the ignorance of youth can fuck you up in retrospect. same with finding muni's old emb lay-ups. if i only woulda had the brains, wholecars were so possible it was a joke, yet we slept. once we got on it though, well.. we never looked back. respect to the euro-homies, for returning the inspiration favor. the US scene was in need of some new life, roller pieces were looking like they were gonna be the next thing, thank god for the clean train movement. going to europe and seeing the late 90s-early 2000s, really showed us what was possible. yeeeeeeee..

nightsblood Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: writers in action! i heard in a news article that the punishment for painting panels in london is $400. over in perth australia i got a $3500 fine for a freight, $2500 for criminal damage $500 for tresspassing $500 for having graffiti impliments. are you joking if you only got $400 (£200) for painting london tubes they would be smashed this whole it's easier to paint in europe argument is pissingme of it just sounds like you americans are making excuses for yourselves so you can just stick to your daytime freight spots ive met euro writers who spend weeks watching a yard so they can figure out when to hit it rather than just goin to a spot when they got some spare time and hittin a freight with a bit of security i just think you find it hard to accept that its all about euro graff now a days the US is all good and its the birthplace of it which no oneis gunna forget but its the europeans who are raising the bar . so if you thinks its so easy to paintand if u get caught you'll get a slap on the wrist then take a weeks holiday come to britain and show us all how easy we got it yo homie, i think that dude is from Australia, not the US. he got caught in perth of all places. please don't use the the words of some australian as an excuse to go off on US writers. good post OC. i know of old school US writers who went to NY and did dirty subways in the 80's but didn't care about doing trains in the city they lived in. right from the begining, there was less interest in trains here.

And what would you know anyway what a writer should be like? You probably wear nothing but ecko clothes, wear a backpack, got the sticker on your hat, go to raves, and got a spray tip key chain.

attentat ahhht Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Re: writers in action! heres something more Mon 31 Dec 2007 More “Graffiti Detectors” In The Making Posted by Graff Guy under News , California , U.S. , Cracking Down 1 Comment As if they didn’t have it all covered by now here in Cali… Graffiti vandals beware — there’s a new sheriff in town, and you won’t ever see him. Broadband Discovery Systems, a two-year-old company based in Scotts Valley, has developed a series of devices finely tuned to detect the sound of an aerosol spray can from as far as 35 feet away. “I despise graffiti,” said president and chief executive Cory Stephanson, who worked with a team of engineers to build the device aimed to stymie graffiti vandals. Stephanson and vice president Michael Neely discovered that $22 billion is spent every year in the United States dealing with graffiti, and they think their latest innovation will help. The device, nicknamed “Project Merlin” after Stephanson’s son, has intricate sound recognition features that are tuned to detect only the specific sounds an aerosol can makes. When the sensor detects the sound of a can dispensing, it uses cell-phone-like technology to send out an alert. heres the link http://pressbanner.com/content/view/655/42/ Wait. Dude's son is named Merlin? That's metal as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
