i thought you started simple, and slowly developed your own style. i was taught you never bite no matter what.

 

These days, no style is ever original. Every writer now-a-days is influenced by many, many, other writers in order to form their own "genuine" style. Influence and biting are two very different things. Without the influence of older writers, do you think we would have the styles that are out there today? No.

You thought correct, that other guy is just fucked in the head. :D

 

 

But like i said earlier, influence is okay, as long as you don't turn your influence into biting by going over the line, ya know.

Word, i mean a local graff artist whose been in the game for a long time helps me and gives me advice but i never bite his style. his looks nothing like mine. ive only been doing graff for 3-4months, and biting just seems stupid to me, your not making youself famous your gettin the other person up if you do it well, and sink them if you dont.

Word man do ya thing, Alt's n freak influence me [alts is more colour influence, since dudes got his schemes on lock, and freak uses more sharp edges then I do], you could probably tell in my work, but barely, our letter structure at the end of the day might share similarities, but i carry myself a bit different, but ya know we are from different parts of the world so our style are obviously going to be different, since i got that NZ graff to be influenced by in my hometown and neighboring citys too.

Why is there so much beef in the toy threads? *sigh

 

The best way to progress and get ideas for good graffiti is to look out your window

 

If your talking to me, i don't have beef with anyone, that guy was just being ignorant to what graffiti actually is any why people do it.

 

I was basically trying to say if you want to get noticed try your best to come original, otherwise your just living in somebody else's shadow, and won't surpass them. I know heaps of photoshop sig makers that do the same thing, god damn generic tutorial sigs, which do look cool but that's just whack to use someone else's style and claim it as your own...

No not to you, just in general. Almost everytime I look on this thread, there's always someone who's butthurt over advice or something someone else said. But yeah, a lot of the legends in my area came up with their own shit, no one liked it, but now people think it's dope. Back in the day, the Frisco funk it was called, was thought to be wack so the guys who were used to the NYC/LA styles beefed with the funk crews.

Ruck, id do one for you no problem the thing is...i actually blow massively on other letters =/ and Vare i dont really like the collage, except for the black on outlined in purple i think, it looks sharp and fresh.

 

Oh just incase you guys didnt know, you probably did and idk if its in other places, but Big Lots and some dollar Store chains carry Red Devil and Krylon for mad cheap. just saying.

yall are getting biting and influence confused

 

cope learned his throws from cap (not that you ignant fucks will know who cap is), and you can see how they are very similar. but cope's c and p aren't the same, there's variation
