antistylehunter Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Is anyone familiar with the term anti style? Trash style? Toy style? What makes something anti style? Why are people doing it? When did it start? Where did it start? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injury Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 if even you call what you do "trash" expect me to treat it like "trash" operation clean sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientRage Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Drugs crew San Fransico early 90s with ORFN, Sprays, OMG. It is older than you would think. those crews QFK and BKF were the only crews for a while bombing that kind of "anti-style" for a while. Not necessarily a fan of all of it, but it has a little history to it. Jeans and ORFN are amazing bombers for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyWishes Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I always thought UFO 907 from New York being the first guy to do ugly graff that was accepted as "anti-style" or whatever, but I don't know if that was before during or after what ORFN and them were doing out West. Also OZE 108 comes to mind, maybe some other KYT cats too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massgraff Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Some of it when done more like the piece on the right can be kinda cool but the one on the left has zero appeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainz-book Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 those arrows got massgraff thinkin in the wrong direction... maybe that left one should be the authenticated original non 3d 5 ball baby blue and then it would balance out the harshful similarity of the two... those two pieces look fine to me...

massgraff Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It's not just the arrows. I see not one single shred of aesthetic value on that cheezy piece. That's just me tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 "DRUGS is the abject fringe of graffiti. It is a collective of both experienced and young artists who have, at some point in their development, become deeply alienated by the aesthetic and social state of contemporary graffiti. In the current culture of graffiti the authority that DRUGS Crew works against has moved beyond vandal squads and angry property owners and now extends to the new pigs found in the mono-culture of graffiti artists that police the graffiti world through websites, blogs, sponsored graffiti jams and corporate tie ins. Their rejection of form in a medium defined by subjective hierarchies has produced some of the most original, yet superficially labeled “bad”, graffiti of recent years. DRUGS Crew’s deconstructive aesthetic in this microcosm sets aside the need to technically measure up to the work of their peers, focusing more on expressing the emotions felt while committing a subversive act."

fatlaces Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Its an interesting development. I dont mind seeing it from dudes who have puti n work over the years and have developed/devp;ved there style over the years. I dislike it when new cats come out and dont even bother trying to learn style or the history behind a style in the first place. Heres an example of someone i think who has developed their style over time: Late 90s early 2000s recent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
