wry Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 -Prison, that would do it. -When all paint and writing utensils fall off the face of the earth. -Death, that would do it. if you truely have a passion for graffiti(night time activity), that kinda bullshit(school,work) wouldn't stop you. If you doing it cause your in the "now" and your friends/peers got you into it, and when you stop writing, giving an excuse for yourself(Right there, you proved you write to fit in with that crowd at the time, otherwise you dont need an excuse)<<it's for you, its for other writers, if you dont NEED to do it, then dont fucking do it. ya know?<<for real, i hear peeps talking about it as if its a chore.

But your not caught in action it aint shit, so that shouldnt stop you. I will say i had to lay low after an arrest, and i had snitches near, thats when you change your name, and wait it off a little bit, or find legal walls or real chill spots during the day where you dont gotta sneak out at night.

N0PESTAR Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hahaha. I didn't go out for a little bit when I got my job, but that was only temporary. I probably would quit if I was facing some (serious) jail time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electsot Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 If I had a CAREER that could be ended due to criminal charges then I would most likely stop bombing. But I will always have passion for painting freights and the occasional bridge. Along with a tag or too. Not even prison could stop me entirely.

george jetson Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 the whole job/school thing is a buncha bullshit. carrying a marker and catching tags in ALWAYS possible. maybe no more all-night rampages or fill-ins on major streets, but catching tags and even taking a whole 15min to hit a yard with a throwup just to keep yourself in the game should be a must. if you stop, its probably cuz you never cared in the first place!

BloodAndSoil Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 If I had a CAREER that could be ended due to criminal charges QUOTE] Exactly. I''ve put in a few years of solid work in my field. A felony arrest would bring all that down. Still down to catch some tags and get my stickers up but can;t really afford to go all out anymore. Too much to lose I guess. Proper respect to those that keep it up into their late twenties and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DespairsPegasus Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Nothing will ever stop me from wanting to modify the surfaces of my surroundings. Things that'd stop me from actually doing it... Well, places and times would be negotiable but, I'd still find a way. The will could never die. Cant stop. Wont stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
