OCLOCKs shit is always classy... not to mention that he's up in multiple countries...

 

do those IAM tags have anything to do with IAM the French rap/hip hop crew... I know alot of french hip hop crews are all around hip hop not just emcees... CNN- NTM are like that.... I donno, just wondering...

wow. seeking to the rescue yet again- those joker handstyles are OFF THE HOOK. He's got so much style... do you reckon he'd be willing to sell me some?

 

Cheers to everyone else posting as well! It's all appreciated.

 

Proph, I doubt very much that the IAM tags are related to any French Hip-hop group. Sorry!

 

There was an animated photo of Oclock doing a couple of handstyles, but I can't find it anywhere. if anyone knows the link (Crazeeb0b, you probably do!) please post it on here.

 

I've decided that I'm going to invest in a digital camera just so I can take flicks of all the local handstyles. so look out for some photos coming your way in the near future!

visualJazz - that's quite funny, because I dont particularly like the handstyle but when I saw the flick I thought "respect to that man" because the spot is obviously controversial. A dub would've been better, though!

 

The easy way to justify "vandalising" that piece of art is to argue that, if the artist/council wants to impose their art on us, there is no reason why we shouldnt impose our own form of art right back onto them!

 

I couldnt really give two shits either way, but if I saw a tag on Nelson's column, for instance (might have been done already for all I know) the least it would do would be to make me smile.

seeking - that looks like a bog standard can of montana to me. I think I might even have a can of that colour lying about (or more likely at my friends house). I'll save you the scraps and ship them off to ya if you like (in your dreams, eh!)

 

You should import them - if you bought in bulk I can't imagine it being that expensive - although saying that they probably ship them via sea over here, which wouldnt really be an option for you. You could try henx.nl (I think) for Henx Paint or search for it. I think they're the official distributor.

there is a few reasons philly hadstyle is the best any philly writter could prolly rock most other handstyles just as good as the kids that are donig it now but if you ask kids that dont do philly style to do a philly hand they wont be able to

once you have a good feel for doing philly handstyle other shit just seems easy

another thing unless you ever been to philly untill your standing in fornt of a tag that is 6 ft tall and looks better than your 5 in slam on a mail box you cant talk next time your out try to make your tag 6 ft tall see what it looks like my quesses will be crap

i also think that a philly wall with a bunch of tags on it looks better then most cities casue the philly style is so uniform and not makes the wall almost organized unlike 40 littel taggs all over the place

freeque- i see your argument, but again i said out of respect of the artist, not the art council. Also, in America we dont have art in alot of public areas. In fact, my photography professor told me just yesterday when he served on the arts council for the state, he traveled around and went to some counties where there was no public art at all. In the entire county. Art seems to not be appreciated at all around here, there is such a redneck mentality. Personally I love art, the process and the final product. And thats why I disagree with that spot. Ok, enough rambling for today, sorry about that.

While I won't deny loving Kadism, the fact is, if I had a choice between seeing a wall full of the same shit over and over, and seeing twenty different writers with twenty different styles, I'd rather see thsoe twenty styles. But then again, I came up with SF as my main influence. I have nothing against Philly, I'm certainly not going to say the style sucks, because it doesn't. I just personally feel people like Pastime, Else, Renos, etc. more. Oh well, like you really fucking care.

Tha's down to personal opinion surely. Like I've said before, the typical "philly" handstyle does not look aesthetically pleasing to me. Because I've been brought up around london hands, that's what I've learnt to love.

 

Frankly, I couldnt give a shit if a zonk tag wouldnt look good 6ft high. if he wants to do a 6ft high reach, he'll do a throwup.

 

If you like the philly style, that's fine, but it doesnt mean it's the best, by any stretch of the imagination (other than in your opinion of course).

 

I can see your point though, cos I remember seeing some massive shutter tags in that style and thinking "ooooh, that's quite nice, we havent got anything like that here" but now i just htink, what's the point. just do a throwup instead!

 

I dunno... post more flicks :-D cheers to everyone contributing, once again.

Philly style is nice, i was born and raised there but why do some heads from 215 insist that it is the best style ever. Yes a good philly writer can bang out at least 8 diffrent styles on any random word but saying that we are the best and everywhere else sucks doesnt make sense to me. I use to like traveling before internet graff and most magazines to see the steez in New York, Miami or where ever, cause there are bangin hands all over the map. Peace.

yo HGS: i agree....my point has never been that we are the best, just defending against lots of young bux that think philly sucks cause they dont understand it....i think you were responding to other kids, but just wanted to make that clear...not unlike you, ive been out of philly almost as long as ive been in (graff wise) and i have a healthy respect/love for style wherever it be...but i really hate 17 yr olds who think a philly handstyle is nothing but "squiggly lines and an arrow"...thats my beef...i know your resume, im sure you feel the same...peace........

All i got to say is as far as handstyles go YO GEE is the mutha fucking king.
