They adapt more to western culture that’s why they use the alphabet to try and flex handstyles kanji indeed is very much swift with precision 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALIgula Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I fucking love the cursive found in ledgers like that last picture.. so dope.... I'll sometimes Google image those. The philly wickets are dope too. Ever since i started writing, I've always tried improving my handstyles and pushing to the next level... it's made my regular handwriting clean as fuck... now all i ever hear is "wow, you have really nice handwriting" Penmanship is definitely dying at schools.. they should have a class on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very classic old Miami style that is very seldom seen. In fact, when kids were writing like this, there were no digital cameras, no mags, no internet so this didn’t really get exposed outside of Miami. Anyhow, this is from one of the main people I learned graffiti from, who was a master of this type of writing - Style FA / VO5. I’ll see if i can dig up more examples, but you can see how that flow lends itself to chisel tips, which is what was used most often. those are so dope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Ease doing it on his massive canvases but I didn't know it was a wall writing style he learned as a writer that he was taking to the gallery. It's very loose. It has an interesting mix of a classic New York hand, and a Baltimore lean, but obviously a style all it's own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I have a true love of handwriting. Not just cursive or script, but all of it. As a kid I would practice, and practice, and practice, trying to get my handwriting to mimic an Architect's handwriting because I figured that's what I wanted to do when I grew up (I'm not an architect... ). I've spent a lot of time teaching myself good penmanship... in script, straight letters, then Graffiti handstyles trying to teach myself different regions local styles (still can't figure out Philly). One thing I've never tried but love is calligraphy, and I absolutely love when Graffiti writers bring a little of their style into it. One guy who does a beautiful job at it is Luca Barcellona. I wish I had the time to dedicate to teaching myself this craft. Maybe once I retire and have nothing but time... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took balls of steel to do such acts but Here he was doing it .
