Graf

i was a bit worried that it might be just me and that i was simply shit at it!

It is you.

and you ARE shit at it.

But practice makes perfect, no one is that good when they first start out.

Another tip I might add: don't go buying expensive spray paint just yet. It's a waste of money. Stick to the cheaper stuff while you're still practicing.

p.s.

^ I like those a lot!

I've really been thinking about putting up a couple wheat pastes myself.
 
That's all of my old work (like 16 years old)...


I'm doing a big thing today, it's kind of an art alliance around the town. I need a new method because the ink fades, I was thinking laminating the full page printouts and using something like gorilla glue so they'll NEVER SCRAPE OFF MY WORDS.

Thanks for the compliments guys really, it means a lot. I was going to share my ladies stuff, we're a bit of a duo, but the post got deleted so I'll get around next time around. We're doing some stuff today. Peace and love.
 
Maybe try making a stencil out of card first. It's a simple way of transferring your sketches over. Start out with a simple white base colour, then black for the second layer. As you build confidence you can add more layers and detail.
 
^^^^what he said 12 ounce will help

but
yo save your loot and buy the cheap walmart paint
practice with that first
silver and black is actually not a bad paint
white sucks but since youre still learning use it


blackbook it alot ~ but you also gotta practice can control
, when you tag and do throwups you do that all smoothe and stylish , keep it flowing,
start with your fill in
then do your final outline

when you are working on piece you kinda wanna do shit in stages and keep it all strait lines and fill in the rest, its hard to explain in words its easier to show ya

check out youtube and do a search for graffiti tips or something


you can experiment with household cleaning product caps too , thats what the old school writers did.

krylon sucks
rusto's better but you better practice first cuz rusto comes out with some pressure

rusto american accents is real good paint but they switched up their caps to female fuckers :X

when you get good spend your loot

sabotaz, and ironlack is what i be using


montana theres two versions one from spain one from germany, the one from germany is good but the spanish is better
 
american accents has good colors.


Fun fact for the day: Most home improvement stores have generic cans that cost 99c. They have these cool sticker barcodes. How random is that?

clean tag, with some gangsta shit thrown in the mix.
 
My x's mates (from his 'crew') just got jailed in the UK for it 8-16mths each. I don't do illegal shit. Never have and never will. I guess i'm just not "hardcore" enough and only appreciate the artistic value behind it. I'm far too old to be doing that shit really , besides i'm a mum so it's not worth the risk anyway.

I'll paint again....

fuuuck me that's a big sentence, what city is that in do you know? my friends here stopped writing because they got a "you get caught again, you're getting sent down" warning. only ever got fines but i'm not sure what amount of work they were actually tied to.
 
I promised some from m'lady so here we go, going to add a near-death experience to go with the affair. But for now, pictures shall suffice:

that was many sentences thanks very much :p hehehe i'm not sure what city just know that it was 6 guys from his own crew and they all got caught in london, was all over the news in oz here hey

red arrow - its takes AGES to learn can control, they are SOOOOOOOOOOO hard to work with but if you practice you will get better....

I was contacted and asked to be part of an all grls graff mag here in oz, kinda chuffed cos i havnt been painting that long and didnt think i was good enough and i'm not the "usual" graff chick when it comes to dress and just being that involved with the culture... fuck thats gonna piss the x off if he sees my shit in graff mags and none of his stuff is published *evil grin* hehehe
