Picking Spots

[Colt .45]

How do you pick your spots?

 

What are your favorite things to hit?

 

Is there anything thats off limits?

My spots consist of hittin train lines so people from all around look out the window and say... wow ! howd he get up there and trucks so it goes wherever it goes...

[dBking]

off limits - housing, churches, and some other things.

 

favorite things to hit - electrical boxes, green boxes, silver boxes, bathroom stall doors, anything public property.

[acer910]

shipping containers is where its at.

 

it depends on what your wanting to do, naturally a spot for a piece is going to be different then a spot for a sticker...

[kiwiwhaaa?]

Anything public trans.

I'd rather pick my nose than pick a spot

I look for quiet, out of the way places, as I'm still a toy and I know it. I'm getting better again, as I stopped for about two years and believe it or not...you can lost your skill and your style.

 

But, when I'm having good days (and when I used to be good before I quit) I used to look for trains, open walls, signs, etc. Right now I look for chill spots or spots that are heavily painted. I love trains though...best part.

 

Off limits is houses, churches, police stations, anything related to the holy or the deceased (aka graveyards), etc.

That's fucked up...about the churches.

[gonewithoutaTRES]

don't tag churches, cars(unless u find an abandoned police car, in which case fuck the car up) schools, ur neighberhood, houses. i'd tag police stations.

Yeah, that's just a braindead idea. First of all, you don't fuck with sacred places. Second of all, you don't fuck with cars. That is a MAJOR...MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR destruction of property, not to mention an easy way to get spotted, and houses are a bad idea as well. Tagging in your neighborhood (at least in anyplace other than a chill spot) is a bad idea, as tagging in your school. There are so many ways to get busted by tagging in your school, especially if your dumb and tag the outside of your blackbook with the name that you're writing all over the school...it's common sense.

[Cuda]

streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets. Chill spots for pieces untill I can do a straight letter that doesn't suck total balls.

I haven't tried rooftops yet, but that's something I've been wanting to do. Mostly fucked up abandonned shit, or scrubby areas. Loads of old ugly concrete.

That's some funny shit!

[Edward Orenthal Norton]

if you have to ask how to find spots you should just give up

[\\KNUX//]

i started with bathrooms, got drunk and jumped the gun by doing mega public places one night (but learned a valuable lesson-most people seriously truly honestly do NOT give a fuck about graff) after a while doin marker shit to learn my stealth shit i started painting, which is about where i am now. pick the end of an alley, so that you can see one way down the street while your painting and have somebody else look the other way. also, depending on where you live, garages can be acceptable.

I think this thread is a dece idea, if people would only post shit worth saying.

 

 

I live in a mid sized down, with crazy popo. So I don't really get to just walk around writing on shit. Cops will be all over that shit, hell, I've been stopped and asked what I was doing multiple times when I didn't even have shit on me. So really I just choose high-profile spots that will get the most views. Like the top of this abandoned building you see as you come up over a bridge. I've only really even seen like 5-6 other people who are up here.

 

 

But yeah, IMO, green boxes, silver boxes, and dumpsters if theyre visible are the best. Those things are just like calling my name every time I see a big ass box with nothing on it lol.

[Michael Grant]

city buses .. train tracks .. vans .. trucks ..

[Michael Grant]

those are the ones i like to hit the most

[LatinoPride88]

i did a throwie on a billboard last week

[ɞℓiɴĸ]

I guess you guys who live in big towns wont have these, but abandoned old convenience stores. Throw up on the tall ass gas price sign. I'm planning on hitting one this week :)

[KD1]

congratulations ^

[ɞℓiɴĸ]

Thanks man I was looking for props. Glad you noticed

[Detective Axel Folie]

I love billboards, fronts, backs its all the same with them, I love any spot that is highly visable that I think will last, and if its right on the highway thats an extra, rooftops on main roads, throwin up crazy characters on roofs in alleys, pretty much anything that will be seen easily is the type of spot I like, but the higher up I can get the better. As for what I dont hit, churches and personal property like cars and houses(unless any of these are abandoned then thats free game even if its a church). I really want to hit cop cars and police stations but there are not a whole lot of people painting in the city here so If I started doing that the scene would get really hot real quick and I figure I should wait a year or 2 befor I start a war.

[Colt .45]

i thank you all for your witty comments.

 

i guess i should answer my own questions:

 

i think anything that already has graffiti on it, or is hit on a regular basis, is game. the more people who would see it the better. if it looks like someone really cares about the property, i wouldn't hit it.

 

churches, schools, cars, private homes are off limits for me. i also dont scribe or etch storefront windows, cause i know how much that shit costs to replace. you can get up alot but not be a dick about it. i think my graffiti career proves that.

somebody kill me ... now

His favorite spots are over Boner HSB

[JustHereForTheNight]

I typically target chruches, synagouges, mosques, places of worship. Seriously, no one else bombs em. i've been in the paper at least 5 times in the past 3 years.
