suburban_menace Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 So I'm new to the scene. Like as in 2 weeks new. The problem is that i live in a crazy-go-nuts sheltered life in a beat-the-johnsons suburban neighborhood. The city is real artsy but there isnt a lot of graffiti. I wanna get sweet and i know it'll take a long time to get outta 'toy mode' but i still wanna learn. i know theres a real opprotunity to make my mark and i'd like to take it but i'm real bad/new/clueless. So i'm asking for 2 things. 1) some quick tips on really basic stuff. 2) a 'mentor' to kinda show me the ropes. The mentor doenst have t like live near me or anything just send me e-mails teaching me stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburban_menace Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 ok wow everyone has to start somewhere right? I really wanna do this, i'm not just gonna quit when school starts either. I've read some stuff but I know there's a lot of crap on the internet that isnt true. and i don't wanna be like a super toy and read wikipedia for info. I just need some basic tips to get me off the ground. you dont have to be dicks about it. all of you were new once too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontsleep34 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 yeah we were but we taught ourselves? My advice is if you want to start by a pilot or a magnum and start practicing a tag and do that untill u make the marker run out. buy a black book and practice bubble letters and basic 3d.

Just a hint, never make your own thread asking for a teacher, it never gets you off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somoza Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 One bit of advice, don't bomb in suburbia, the cops are ussually really persistant in suburban areas due to the low rate of crim, so if you don't want to get caught the first time you go out bomb yards or small cities.

hypnotize2472 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Teach yourself, nobody is going to teach you shit. Just come up with a tag, nothing complicated(nobody likes it when toys have a whack ass tag that you cant read) and keep practicing it. Once you get good at that, just practice straight letter throws and peices. Oh yea, and dont paint until about a year after you start sketching, tagging is alright though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
