lol fkn hated all the anger and beef that comes with graffiti.
i just wanted to paint shit and bomb.
 
Yeah if ya into drugs then graffiti shouldent be a problem. Graffiti and drugs come hand in hand any way. Its a great hobbie. If ya got a meth/weed habit and are staying up all night doing fuck all round the house ya might as well go out and destroy the community. would post flicks but it keeps sayin invalid URL.

I think people who don't write or are toys don't understand how important having a good tag is. When judging a bomber you have to look at the whole picture - from that little scratchie on the bus, to the tag on that stop sign in your hood, to pieces.

To be honest I don't understand how some dudes can paint trains but can't even rock an attractive tag - to me it's backward - start by developing a dope tag and get your name around, then move onto throwups pieces etc.

Allthough many would still call me a toy. It's important to me to make sure my tag is dope before I even bother picking up a spray can.

The other funny thing is most people don't even notice tastefully placed and executed graffiti because it blends into the urban environment. And even if they do notice - they look with interest rather than disgust, because someone who has genuinely expressed themselves in that moment of getting up has left a personal mark unlike any other.

I'm very romantic about graff <3 hahaha
 
^ I've definitely worked on my pieces rather than my tag. I still don't even have a respectable tag, but I can definitely still see the artistic merit in other people's tags.

I think though, that graffiti is meant to have different layers of meanings. The picture that anyone going past sees, and the more personal messages conveyed to the people who know you, the people in your crew, and the other people in the graffiti world who, whilst they may not know you, know 'of' you or your crew. In that way, I don't think it's important that everyone understands the whole work, or even understands tags. In a way, it's all the people that don't know or understand, that make it so special.
 
if you cant rock a decent tag, 99% of the time you cant rock a decent anything. VERY few exceptions to this rule... its just the way it is, sorry.

graffiti is vandlism, not art.

the only way ull learn is to get out there, all risks involved and DO IT. ull stay a toy alot longer if you sit at home fucking with bic pens and scrapbooks.

rock straight letters until you get some flow and..... KEEP IT SIMPLE! <--- best piece of advice i was ever given.
 
^ I always went on solitary missions. I used to get scared as fuck. First time I went I painted only two letters of my bomb then got so jittery I ran all the way home, and went back and did the two last letters the next day. I found myself a good spot though, which although on the train line was blocked from most views, so I could go down during the day and just practise - going over the same area again and again. One time I came down and someone had tagged right underneath my piece (I didn't have a tag at this point and still don't really) as if it was theirs. I was pissed but really quite chuffed - that it was good enough for anyone to want to be associated with!

I only met people involved with the scene after I'd been doing it solitary for quite some time. I'm glad it worked that way. I think I would have been too embarrassed to show my beginner shit to people who already had a lot of talent and involvement in the scene, or to throw up anything in front of them. This way, I actually had shit to show them, so they were much happier to bring me in and teach me what they knew.
 
Think this is a recent commissioned piece in Brisbane, I don't know the artists but saw it on facebook and thought I'd share as it looks amazing! :D
