yomommasaho Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 1.) i've always said, why just do a tag if you can do a hollow? a simple handstyle is the basis, but if you got the space to blow up (but not the time to spare) then i say practice your letter structure. 2.) has the art of bank robbery disappeared? i remember seein chino say that even when they added locks to the doors leadin down the trains(subs) they painted, they were still breakin em still obtaining keys, still makin that shit happen. i agree ct might not be the place to throw away your freedom for bombing, but it aint dead; its just changing, becoming more sophisticated just like the cops who are always trying to sophisticate their game. 3.) as for meeting mentors and the web of connections, 2 years ago, i never ever ever ever ever thought id ever ever ever ever meet half the writers ive met today, and im still meeting more and doing bigger and better things. lively discussion ive enjoied catching up on HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

businessOnly Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 i think the internet has made it easier to draw inspiration/bite from a much wider aray of styles and places, and has also taken alot of the legwork out of it. i used to troop to spots all over new your and CT looking for pieces and thats where i got my ideas and inspiration from. with the internet dudes can pull up pieces from all over the worldand pick a style from LA to jack or from Brisbane or whatever. it is way easier now to get good by just sitting on the computer picking apart millions of pieces and just sit at the same super chill wall or basement/garrage until they have some skills. i do think its easier now with the internet. remember, getting a "mentor" from an ill crew wasnt exactly easy. ill bet if you walked up to GAZE in 94 painting a wall and said, "hey, im young and i suck, wanna mentor me" it wouldnt have worked so well. i would think that meeting other dudes at or a little above your skillset nowadays is pretty easy, just PM them. funny how I got into it. My dad was working with the police on a gang vandalism investigation. My dad had hours of taping and photos of spots around danbury and surrounding areas. I was in 6th grade, and I would watch the tapes and photos with him, trying to read what all the peices said. Then id sneak off into my room and try to draw tags and stuff. When my dad found it, he beat my ass. I as in gifted art all through school, and my teacher used to have my study graffiti, she was from new york and since we both were interested in it. I always tried to emulate all my favorite artists... or bite them.. thats just how i learned how to draw letters and stuff.. But I always was interested in how in old school graff, writers had apprentices(sp?). jickrock - you helped me out a few times when i started peiceing. I appreciate that.

HAL Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Savager kills shit. The slickest color schemes. No one uses red like that guy. It's a hard color to work with sometimes. Those Typoe pieces are real nice, too. I like that style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
