[flymonk]

these guys worked to not let you look so fucking gay, and here you are fucking it up. Do i smell bacon? good luck getting into a GRAFFITI CREW in GARDENA CALIFORNIA. dipshit.

[Drax]

These are some really good tips, they are helpful for a rook like me. But i gotta know, do most of you guys live in the citys or in suburban areas? cause it seems alot eaiser to find places to tag in the cities. The only places i hit up are abandoned military bases in my town.

What a backwards way of thinking when looking at the "digital divide" amongst grafitti writers. Some of the old school have been progressing in propagating knowledge, flicks, interviews, etc... online plus access to the proper writing/ artist tools and supplies. when I was a kid, we didn't have the internet for all this. The newer kids will be smarter than us because they have more available to them and has already changed the graf scene.

It's unfortunate these kids have to learn this here..Have they nobody to look up to? I guess some of us are more privaleged than anything when it comes to knowing people who have been in the game when we started..

yeah same here when I started I knew there were older writers around but they never gave us no guidance or anything, guess they didnt take us serious. so we did our own thing and learned rules n what not along the way. now there can be more educated writers coming up thx to the internet and popularity of the culture.

[fly high]

thanks for the advice

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS CARRY A GUN

 

 

taggerbombing is a hardcore hobby, most writers who dont pack a gun die within the first few years of taggerbombing

[D_Zero]

"- don't rat out your buddies"

don't rat out ANYBODY, even your enemies!!!

[jes_a_lil_fun]

yo, i started maybe a year and a half ago, but started getting into it maybe halfway through that time period.

 

I mainly do my stuff with one or two other kids.

 

One kid is just a little better then me, but its because i refuse to bite stuff, where he just takes whatever he can.

 

the other kid just kind of learns from me, but he dosent really take advice when i try to help him.

 

i really dont know what to do, i study all the artists in RI but i dont learn shit, and its impossible to meet other artists. i dont want to be a biter but my throwups come out like shit, and i wouldnt even want to desecrate a wall with a "peice".

 

What the fuck do i do?

[why write?]

practice your letters....look at other peoples shit to get ideas of your own, come up with something you enjoy and think others will enjoy...rack your paint, go paint some walls with your fly ass throw up

is that whole thing one fucking sentance... your an idiot "."

[soulkillers]

may have said already..

start simple learn your structure before you try complex styles.

dont try to use mulituple corolrs if yur letters suck,all u are doing is making a mess.

paint for yourself fuc everyone else.

to me painting is a love not a trendy fad.

study other writers style an incoprate what u like but dont match it line for line.

use your own flair.

if you are out fo fame quit now.

if you get stoped by police dont act hard or stupid it only makes it harder for u. cops are only doing there job.

if your are the one person that claims to all u ate cops u are the first one to call 911 when ur big mouth get u into shit.

domnt expet skil to come over night takes time.

even some of the sickest writer have shitty handstyes.

usin words like tagger and tag are supid , use some common sense.

and if all else fails grab a rope and chair. place one end of rope on trr stsnd on chsir plsc otther end of rope sround neck. jump off chsir.....now jst die slresdy

[.CommotioN.]

yeah, definitely dont let classmates know you write (unless you really trust them)

 

i made that mistake before, the teachers WILL find out and thats scary and embarrassing.

 

not to mention all the kids that will go up and ask you to do their name in "tag-style"

[.CommotioN.]

racking paint.

 

i'm new to it so when i steal paint i peel the barcodes off to be safe, it takes long so i only get 2 cans at a time.

Is this neccessary? can i just stuff them in my pants and not set off the alarm?

 

 

p.s. different people i ask tell me different things, so i dont know who to believe

[trill198]

the alarm wont go off, you know those little things on clothes those are the things that set off the alarm. but for good measures take a magnet and rub the magnet over the barcode

ur an idiot.

[icetray]

I forgot where I saved this from or who wrote it, but here it is anyway. . .

 

How to reduce the risk of getting caught:

 

Do not write your tags on your personal property, such as schoolbooks, bags, inside of your hat, back of your desk etc. If you want to practice your tag style on paper, make sure you throw the pieces of paper out when you finished. Keep your sketchbook hidden in a safe place. Keep your photos hidden in a safe place too. Doing so will make the evidence harder to find when your house is searched.

-Keep a low profile. Do not tell every writer you meet your real name & where you live, until you fully trust them. You do not want everyone to know who you are, what you write, and what your tag is. The risk of getting caught increases the more people you tell! When writers get caught, they are usually asked for information on other writers. It is possible that someone might 'spill the beans' about you accidentally or intentionally, when being questioned.

-Never tell anyone about your plans. This is one of the golden rules of not getting caught. Tip-offs are common.

-Do not write your tags close to your home or neighborhood. By doing so, you will keep your position / home-base secret. There was a writer once that bombed the trail that lead from his home to the railway station. Over time, the trail got bombed out so much that you could work out where he lived by following the tags!

-The number 1 Golden Rule of not being caught is "Make sure that you do not fit the Profile of a Writer". This simply means, when bombing, don't dress & look as a writer. Some of the best 'camouflage' you can get is geek clothing (e.g. shirts with a collar etc). Also, consider keeping your markers / spray cans in a plastic grocery bag. Keep your shoes, clothes and hands clean from spray paint. Keep your nails short too. This will prevent spray-paint from going under your nails, and becoming hard to clean. When questioned, the first thing you are asked it to show your hands.

-Check for cameras before you tag. Don't forget that some (infra-red) cameras can see in the dark.

-Want to stop your cans from rattling? Attach a magnet to the base of the can. The magnet will hold the ball bearing in place! (Round strong magnets, that fit perfectly to the base of the can).

-Wipe your fingerprints from empty cans and markers that you throw away.

-Never hit your favorite spots over again. Try to keep a random pattern of places that you hit.

-Always have an excuse or alibi ready.

[icetray]

when you rack and you've got a shitload of cans. don't bring all those cans with you on one night of bombing. make that shit worthwhile. have a set number of cans you'll kill every week of the month so that you'll be able to paint and not have to rack the again the whole month. so that you won't burn out your racks and next time you go there to rack up they'll have a fresh supply.

[EGO31]

Racking is scary i havn't done it yet but i might soon coz i'm gettin my friend to help me get markers always rack with someone else and if you havnt been seen loitering by something it is less suss don't tell your parents what you write they WILL NARK ON YOU!!!!!! other than that only bomb on really crap peices of peeps you have never heard of and you don't like if it is good respect it and don't trash the environment put your stuff in a bin if it is marker and someone elses for cans. :king: :haha: :clown2:

[stoke]

...alright alright. fuck emo though.

[EGO31]

stoke don't preach and stick to the thred don't get down on other writers for what they do unless they listen to emo like stoke here then just give them shit for that emo is really really really bad.
