username0913 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 those sketches are fucking hot. seriously. Well now that you all wasted 2 pages just talking shit , in case anyone cares hh wasn't calling out anyone or talking shit or starting beef whatever else was made up . and hh isn't trying to be on any "level" they just like to paint and cause a little ruckus from time to time which you all are making it very easy for them by the way...just in case anyone really cares...now back to your regularly scheduled shit talking ^^^ bump. anyone who knows these guys know they're a bunch of cool guys. true, they don't have the time in the game of a Ouija or an Abyss, but they still throw down some good shit. since when was stenciling not allowed? creativity comes in all forms doesn't it?. still your opinion is your own and you're entitled to it, but the ends justify the means, and all i've seen from them has been nothing but good creative stuff. scroll back a few pages, take a look but yeah...bump that comment.

HAL Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 As far as I'm concerned, stenciling is pretty damn street art, and street art is gay as the day is long. Pisspoor bourgeois ripoff of real graff, in my humble opinion. Anyone can cut a stencil. Look at a guy like Isor that can paint a military font #20 without the stencil. That's real skill, and worth learning if you want to be taken seriously as a writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my eyes, it's worse than having no can control at all. It's basically cheating. If someone can't do a decent tag or paint little chips and doodads in their fills, and has to rely on a stencil they produced in Illustrator, then they aren't a writer. For that matter, if they can do a 300 color technicolor piece, then drop a dogshit tag next to it, it's equally write-offable. I personally spent at least a year doing tags and tosses, and nothing else, because I always thought that the foundation is more important than the fancy bells and whistles. I wish that Banksy and Shepard Fairey never happened, because they've completely twisted kids coming up and make them think it's acceptable to half ass it, or drop some hipster artfag shit and call it graff. X-Men, Revs and Cost were doing wheatpasting years before Shepard Fairey's rich parents even thought to send him off to art school, but the difference is that Revs, Cost and X-Men could do a credible tag with their own hands, and Shepard Fairey can click a mouse and press a sticker onto a mailbox.

RAWoNe Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 so true about seeing a piece thats dope, then seeing an absolutely horrible handstyle next to it. makes you wonder if they put the time in bombing or just half assed their way into relative style.

yomommasaho Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 and as for this stencil debate (here it goes...) street art and graffiti are different? i mean, you know im new, but i thought graffiti was... art... on the street. im assuming you have very distinct definitions of the 2, and im fuckin positive youve got a particular sense as to what you consider real graff and not.. but in my humble opinion, i say that any artwork put on a public surface constitutes graff. to me, its not just the handstyle or can control that matters; its how one takes the environment around them and expresses themselves with it. banksy's commercialization is a complete abomination to everything i hold dear to graff and to everyone on the ground level still putting in work; but the motherfucker used to do shit that would blow me away when i saw it. using stencils/tape in your pieces to compensate for lack of technical skill is weak, no question; same goes, as said, for trying to cover for lack of true talent w/ more over-stimulation; but you cant write off a whole other artform within the artform becauase of a few cats who keep it whack within it. stenciling has a completely different skill set, different technical abilities, requires a different eye for what the artist aims to accomplish. i dont even think it should fall under the same category as traditional graffiti, though they both borrow from some of the same disciplines that were around long before either came up, like typography, photo realism, and 2d design. that being said, fuck the internet and all the haters huddled in front of it; peace to everyone posting flicks and paying attention for the sake of actually learning something; not out for fast fame. see you on the ground.
