ya man, some of the major names from SJ caught state time when they made it a felony here.

....enter the wack ass toys that took over for a few years, & we had 7 years of bad graf in the '408.

Now we got some of the good skills back, & some of the shit we got out here is lookin proper.
correct me if I'm worng, but ain't DTC/KYT a major san jo based click? That's just what I heard from a "Source" lol. Straight up though, Dtc and kyt crush sooo hard!!! Fuck you if u ain't heard!!! Affiti Gray is one of the toughest graff flicks out. Those fucking "Hello Stranger" and "Love is here and now you're gone" scenesaremy jawns!! Big up to the dtc squad reppin!!!

LOL!!! i knew this was coming. im 23. even graduated college believe it or not. so heres the story...met a couple dudes who are real "writers" (right term?), part of a crew and everything. one from here in dago, and one in the sco. i even let them write all over the newspaper stand in my house. they laced me a bit on the whole society and philosophy behind writing. i thought it was pretty cool and became real interested in it...and also thought it was kinda funny.........fast forward 1 week...im having lunch at some random spot in the tenderloin, look up and see one of the dudes name up on the window of the restaurant. and thats when it hit me...i want my name on shit throughout the city too...i explained this to my roomates and a couple friends and they all agreed they want in too.
i knew when i made this thread i sounded like some little dork, and ppl were going to give me shit, which is partly why i did it (i was rolling at some of the comments made)...but yes i do want to write my "name" on things like street signs, businesses and bathrooms and stuff....especially in white neighborhoods. though im kinda mocking the act of writing, i dont wanna disrespect dudes who really do write cause i have a great deal of respect for them. but i dont think im really going into what they do or interfering with their shit........so thats the story behind this. i know its immature, but i have enough maturity in my life and need some fun immaturity to balance me out. thanks for the marker suggestions



so will you be my mentor? first you have to give me a name. thanks homie


yes!!! see you know

23? thats a little too old to start writting..should of started when you were like 12 or 13/ fools that start writting in their 20s...sounds like a toy to me..

if your 23 homie, why dont you just do art projects with spray paint. If your that old and want to go out... what are you gonna do when you get caught?

stick to your black book.

You may not believe you are a toy... but this topic is toy... go to any graffiti forum and you'll find that out right away.

If you wanna follow the culture, well, go rack some shit and start bombing, get your handstyle out and start climbing on freeways to get up.

ahahah damn Gas...


sorry carl. getting on line and asking for directions is pretty bad. The subculture of Graffiti (real writers and history) just dont start by coming online. Before the internet, muthafukaz had to learn on their own and develop they own style. New Katz that come online asking questions leads to suspicion. Either they Graff task force getting info to bust on people or blowing up good spots with toy shit.

I personally loved freights.

You should just do that then. Go out and do it. Post flicks and listen to the praises/criticism that people will give you.
I guess its all perspective. Real Writers go out and put art up. While "others" waste time, attract attention, ruin spots, cross out others, with shit that is NOT up to par. Some katz ruin the graffiti scene.. shit's a lifestyle.

Drawing on paper aint the same as doing a piece in proper proportions with cans.

Anyone can get a marker and write a name. You might see a writer's name everywhere tagged or handstyle... but once you hit spots, you'll see the art an why alot of dudes are respected on the streets.

Just kuz you know how to draw, doesnt mean you are a king. Toy is a beginner. You started a thread saying you want to start "tagging"... that's a beginner's subject, not to mention giving us your stats "I'm 23 and graduated from College", then think brighter. You shouldnt have to go on a forum and learn graffiti. When I was into graffiti, I went out and bombed my town. I did stickers, stencils, handstyles, climbed and crawled, followed train tracks.... Fuk, I never relied on the internet for help. And not everything on the net is gonna tell you anything. What the the main crews in town, how long, the history of your town, new writers, who got busted, who got killed... there's somethings you learn about the scene on the streets.

I'm saying this with all do respect. Go out and learn, Get up and stay up.

The graffiti scene can get pretty disrespectful. Alot of beefs happen, and alot of close calls with rivals/cops.

But you're a smart guy, you'll find out.

Bansky has a message with his shit. Yeah he traveled around the world doing shit, but he's always got something for people to think about.
