desism_ktc Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So I have tried doing the pass around blackbook on here once and got burned as the book wound up being lost after a few months. Sad too because I heard that some of the stuff was dope. So I am going to try this a different way this time. I want some people to do another pass around, everyone has a blackbook and mails it to the next person in the list, I am thinking no more than ten total. Everyone gets a book returned with some work from the other nine and any homies that are in their area. Forgive me if this sounds harsh from an old timer but if you are in process of learning this isn't for you. No disrespect, but if you want to send me a blackbook, PM me and I will bless it in due time. Anyway let me know if your interested, I'd like to get a 12oz book in my collections.

CILONE/SK Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not quite sure I understand what the rules are that you are saying, but I am down, if you think I am worthy of doing something in a blackbook for "Ghost" My only limitation is that I would want to limit the people who actually know where I am located. I would rather a go between, like "Ghost", be used if people are hesitant. I also am down to send a clean blackbook for 12oz as a start. If it gets lost, at least, all I am out is a blackbook, and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ive done a piece in my homies book then he sent it to china and it went many other places. i need to get a clean black book so i can get down on this!.. reminds me of a chain letter. also: .if someone isn't within their means financially.. u should all keep in mind shipping cost and things of that nature. dont want the person i send my book to not be able to forward it to the next person. that would suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexcauldron Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'd be down. I suggest coordinating it all through PM and everyone start with a blank book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWG Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sounds like a dope idea. Like a world piece book, but instead a 12 oz piece book. I'd be down to hit that off a little sumthin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decyferon Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 GOGP I would happily draw something in a book if you wanna send one to the UK, I would be up for sending you a book as well so you can rock something in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pertplus1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 even though you got burned the first time, the idea of just 1 book sounds better to me, but of course everyone would have to be on the honor system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepmeloggedin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 good idea but doesn't seem that solid. someone's going to either hold onto it or rag the pages and post them on here for kicks. the asshole factor is completely unavoidable.

pertplus1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 what if you picked who you sent the book to, then they sent it back directly, none of that pass around to all of your graff friends shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walid Jumblat Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'd definitely like to be part of this. Australia's a distance but I reckon there would be a few blokes here who would be keen to get in on it. Having your location out there is a bit of a concern, though. I wonder if there is any way to have things sent to post offices for pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexcauldron Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 good idea but doesn't seem that solid. someone's going to either hold onto it or rag the pages and post them on here for kicks. the asshole factor is completely unavoidable. Nah, it would only take a bit of quality control to avoid this. Someone would have to come up with a list, 10 people or so probably, and then check their posts. It wouldn't be too hard to find out who'd be a waste of time with just a cursory glance at past posts. The only problem would be someone running off with it but that's the risk you take, hence why starting with a fresh book is a good idea, not that much to lose.

desism_ktc Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well the idea has many twists, I understand that. The idea was that everyone selected would start with a brand new black book 8x11 size and then send it to one person. This person would be the one that they send the book(s) to throughout the cycle. A sends to B B sends to C C sends to D D sends to E etc.. ..that way at the end everyone has work from everyone else. Again, I understand the asshole factor as well and I am open to ideas. I am looking at my blackbooks from back in the 80's and its cool to reminisce and such. I don't have much of the freight heads other than the originals like Sent, Cavs and Vism so it was something that I thought about.. Anyway like I said I am open to ideas…and if you want to send me a blackbook and not be part of this I am down for that as well.. Just email me at ghostofgraffitipast@gmail.com and just in case you are wondering here is what I have done previously for others: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..:ButtersLeopoldStotch:.. Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 im down!!!!i think if everyone involved sent a fresh book out would work the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWG Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have to agree. Everyone involved should send out their own book. Eventually you get your own book back. No one would lose out,as long as everyone followed through. The honor system iz very important. Also a time limit should be put in place. One person may get the book,do a piece and send it off in a week. The next person may hold on to it for a month.(not kool) Each person legibly tag their book on the inside of the cover. When someone receives a book they should post,to let peeps know the day they received it. They should post the day they send one off and who they're sending it to. That way peeps know the books are moving. IDK just some suggestions. I have a fresh new 8x11 book,so I'm down. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 also put, ''this book belongs to _________.'' on the inside would be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walid Jumblat Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah, I like the idea of everyone starting with a new book as well. Sorry but we run on metric here my size (and anyone from outside of the US, basically) will have to get something close. I'm assuming that A4 will be around 8 by 11 inch. And I guess I have no problem with some one knowing my location as I've never hidden my real name all the years I've been on here. I vote for a 2 week turn around on books as some cats get busy with work or have to travel for family, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexcauldron Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 A two week turn around would probably be the most doable for people but it would take forever depending on how many people got in on it. I for one could most likely do it in a week but it just depends. Two weeks is probably the safest bet. Also two weeks would be good because it gives plenty of time to get the book hit by other people in the area if possible. My only other point of criticism is that it would suck to be the guy who always has to ship the book oversees, assuming people from oversees participate. I don't know how much it costs to ship something like that, but I'd imagine doing it ten times or so would add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoul Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Would be cool to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decyferon Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 shipping a small canvas to the US from the UK worked out about $13 I think, a blackbook would probably weigh about the same. I wouldnt mind paying but if I am honest I would prefer only to send to members of 12oz that I have had dealings with before or chatted to over time, sorry to any newbies but I can only hope any book I send out would come back to me so kinda needs to go to people I trust (as much as you can online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walid Jumblat Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 GOGP: Not meaning to hijack your thing but I'm keen to get things rolling so if you don't mind I'll start setting up my linkages in this dealio. Feel free to tell me to pull my head in if you had other ideas. Alts, if you're willing to send to Aust. and trust a convict to play honestly. If either Cilone, Pulz or Perts are willing to trust me with an address I'm willing to forward to anyone of you guys. This can go back the other way as well if that's better for peeps. I also figure that if you're going to divulge your address it may as well be to some one on the other side of the world instead of a few towns away, less chance you desperados are going to come over when I'm not home and molest my cat.

KWG Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I was under the impression that this was to get a BOOK FULL of some hot stuff, from a bunch of different artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexcauldron Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I was under the impression that this was to get a BOOK FULL of some hot stuff, from a bunch of different artists. I kind of agree. I mean passing around a book with a buncha people you "know" on the internet is all well and good but kinda defeats the purpose. If you wanna pass a book around between your friends go right ahead, but a lotta people already do that. I'd rather just send a book out and get it hit by a bunch of random heads that I'll probably never meet or have anything to do with outside of the pass around. Yea, it only takes one dickhead to fuck it up, but that's why you start with a new book, that way the only thing you have to lose is the cost of the book plus shipping. I guess some people can't afford to lose that but I for one am willing to take the risk. Plus, what do you have to gain from walking off with a book when you've got one out there too that's supposed to come back to you? It might only take one person to fuck it up, but that person would have had to send a book too just to participate. I'm down regardless, so if anyone wants to include me send me a pm I guess and we'll get this shit rollin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walid Jumblat Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not sure if these were replies to me but yeah, that seems to be the idea. My post was to get the ball rolling on who sends to who. I can only speak for myself so I picked a few folk that I've chatted with for a few years and/or have something in common with to send/collect with. Gotta start somewhere and if any of those folk that I named are down then that's part of the chain started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know though, I'd be pretty picky about who I sent a book to as well if it was gonna cost me +$10 each time I sent it. I just fail to see the incentive to not keep the chain going if you have a book out there too. But yea, someone's gotta get the ball rolling.

Walid Jumblat Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah, I'm seeing what folk are saying now as well. I was taking it as who they send it to next where as they are referring to the whole chain when they talk about sending it to peeps they know. Now I'm on the same page I'll sit back and STFU..... *Actually, in saying that I'm happy to do both. I'll grab two books, one for randoms and one for the inner circle.
