I've always been a talented artist as far as drawing goes but I never seriously tried writing graffiti although I've always been interested and wanted to... any tips from writers for starters working with markers and paper? Thanks in advance.

Invest in books and learn your local history. The internet is a great place to start reading. It's really easy if you start to think thateverything you draw is worthy of praise from friends and teh interwebz alike, but it's really just trash. "The Art of Getting Over" by StephenPowers (AKA Espo) is pretty much the bible of graffiti. That thread in Sneaker Art failed for a few reasons:

A) It's not sneaker art. It's art (which is debatable), but certainly not sneaker related. I hardly ever go in that section because sneaker related artdoesn't interest me, so it didn't get any attention.
B) It was filled with photos of hypebeast backpacks with weak *** "graffiti" (if you even want to call it that) so even the real graff headsdidn't want to be seen in there
C) The words "Official" and "Vol. _______" weren't in the title. DUH!

I'll admit that it's been a minute since I've been deep in the game, but that statement will always be up for debate.


It all depends on the person, and if you actually get caught.

FREQUENTFLYER: Always did love that song. Harbor Blue

NoSlickRemarks: That video always reminded me of this one, the way he uses those flares. He's gotta be using can killers on some of those. (That's areference to the cap, AKA pink dots, or whatever they're called these days)



EDIT: To those of you that don't know, Sunset (above) is using those pump things that exterminators use. It's not a cap or a fire extinguisher as somemay claim.
