shai Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 oh yeah- i've heard of cops profiling kids with messenger bags lately. i wonder why? nowadays, i use a doubled up paper bag with handles when i paint...and a messenger bag when i ride my bike.

_nightcrawler Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 When gettin chased...ditch your paint in drains Quoted post When getting chased its better to ditch your paint/any materials right at the start, or as youre running along. Because if you wait to dump it into drains/garbage cans by the time you get to that you might already be caught. Quoted post nuh bro. I was talking about the drains on the side of the streets. You know what im talkin about? Whenever i get chased i throw them there and its all good. There are one of those drains beside the road like every corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CACashRefund Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I know which ones your talking about, but in alot of cases actually most, your cans cant fit into those openings. I dont know about where you live but out here theres a regulation on those things, the openings in the grills are like 1 inch and half wide, not nearly big enough to hold a can. But i have been to other places where the drains are big enough to throw a can under, but those are like in residential areas where i wouldnt be tagging anyways.

Quoted post I live in Australia and the drains on the side of the road hear are massive and you can throw one can down there easy with no problem. So that advice i just gave are probably directed to writers who live in australia or places where the drains on the side of the street are big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Originally posted by Wire@Sep 3 2005, 04:05 AM Don't dress like a "tagger" or a "bomber", with far too large pants and shoes that are supposed to make your penis look bigger. Wear shit you can run and climb fences and roll around in the mud in. Also, invest in a pair of bolt cutters and a comfortable bag (Backpack, sling pack, paint bag). Never proudly display any of these things. Quoted post seriously....when you go on a mission...the whole key is to dress as plainly and boring as possible. Dress to be of no interest to onlookers. more importantly, wear stuff you will not be afraid to ruin if required. Do not brag to people about what you do.

iloveboxcars Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 dress in b-boy gear. if a cop comes start doing flares on the sidewalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I'm telling you...I dress like this guy most of the time, so no one even looks twice at me...except for all the big booty girls, of course. I don't know what some writers are thinking when they put on all that floss, when the plan involves going out to apply paint and ink manually. It must be an extention of their devil-may-care attitude. My uniform, as a rule, is this- brown Dickies or some other dark work pants that are hemmed, tapered and ready for action...two t-shirts, a dirty sweater, long socks, stinky sneakers and a hat...also stinky, of course. Oh, and a messenger bag, of course. In the winter, I'll add my long underwear, my annual $70 rain shell, some kind of winter cap with earflaps, lots of wool and a bottle of 100 proof schnapps in the bag for moral support. The first time I met Tie (RIP) in 1996, he was dressed in full winter battle gear not unlike mine...in July, on foot, while daytime bombing. He must have known something I didn't...Also, a few years ago, my friend showed up at a Halloween party wearing a dirty black hoody, cut off & stained Bens, Converse lo-tops, no socks, a ripped up white t-shirt and a messenger bag...everyone got the joke. I thought it was hilarious, myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yes...I've done that, too. The trick is not to get paint on the suit. I knew a housepainter who, one time, was asked by some bourgeoisie piece of shit what his credentials were...he showed up in a tux the next day, and painted an entire room with hi-hide white enamel WITHOUT SPILLING A DROP ON HIMSELF, or the floor. How many of us could do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mechanical-Giant] Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Originally posted by why write?@Jan 31 2005, 05:37 PM For all you writers that have just started and need to ask questions and want some tips....here you go. General Tips: - always keep your mouth shut - never tell people you dont trust that you write graffiti - dont 'tag up' your backpacks/shoes/hats and other things people will see - dont write on your school - keep on a low profile - avoid any contact with police ::::If police arrest you for painting: - never say anything, dont say that you did it or did not do it...just keep your mouth shut - tell them you will not speak until you have a lawyer present - never rat out your buddies - dont fall for their phony tricks "oh we will let you go if you just tell us who does it and blah blah blah", it is just a trick to mess with your head to get information out of you Painting Tips: - dont go straight out to the streets and make yourself look like a fool - start by practicing at a chill wall that no one will see, if not a chill wall...get plywood or posterboard or cardboard and anything just to practice till you get it down - dont go straight out and buy 20 cans of montana and waste your money on some toy shit, buy dollar cans just to start off Tips on Sketching Pieces: - at first stay simple ; this means -simple letters, simple colors. - master block letters and letters on your keyboard at first then progress from there maybe i will add more later.

Quoted post buddy of mine has a family member who works for the FBI. says they have cameras that can display a picture clear as day using no light. As in, its pitch black, but they can see you like its the middle of the day. I think its still pretty high end though, not what most people would use.

_nightcrawler Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Alright first of all. I no all you toys got your dreams set on being in the dopest crews in your town. Think again. Its better to be in a crew with all your closest writing buddies then a crew full of randoms. Why, i hear you ask? Because if your in the dopest crew in your town and you dont know them that well, they could just be using you to get their name up. They could also backstab you. Graffiti is a very dangerous game to play. Once your in deep enough, you cant get out. Most of the crews around now days have started off with a group of mates that are all tight and shit. Its complicated, but you toys will hear stories about the crews in your town and get the jist of things eventually. Make your own crew with your mates and maybe one day, with alot of practice, your crew will be one of the dopest crews in your town. Dont give a fuck what anyone else says. If friends tell you to stop because its bad. say "fuck you" and walk away. If a bitch makes you choose between her and graff, dump the hoe. Shes a selfish bitch if she makes you choose between what you like to do and her. If in 6 or so months of writing and you dont like your stuff and dont see any improvement, i say stop. Graffiti is not for you. If your commited about doing graffiti you would practice and practice whenever you have a pen and paper in your hands. My friends brother for instance. He started sketching when he was about grade 3. Thats about 8 years old. He started painting when he was around 12. by the time he hit 15, he was known across the town. Just because your young, doesnt mean you cant be good. Dont be intimidated or scared. When your down at your local drains or even the train yard and you see other writers, dont be scared and run away. Talk to them, most likely they will have a chat with you and give you good tips. When you first start off, find a chill spot you can piece where NO ONE can see your pieces. You have to find a chill spot because you gotta practice. You dont want to hit the town and pull off some wak shit then hear the next day that people are baggin you and calling you wak. Once you got your pieces tight, then you can hit the town. Dont start off buying beltons, montana, krylon and all that. Your just wasting your money. Buy cheap paint to do you first hand full of pieces. You dont want to waste $15 a can to pull of some wak toy shit that will be slashed once you finished. the paint you toys use on some wak pieces could of gone to some dope writer. anyways here are some words you toys should follow "to the toys who destroy productions by bombing around other peoples pieces to get up in flicks. If you call yourself a writer, then respect the artwork. Or you will make graffiti look ugly - Rock Da City crew" Anyways piece out toys. Keep writing.. GET UP OR GET OUT!.
