Quite nice indeed :)
But without like a brick wall background, they look as if they should be walking around and talking to each other for some reason...maybe that's just my warped mind but ehhh x_x

I wish there were some good graffiti artists around here... The kinda stuff that shows up on the walls in my town consists of scribbles saying "so -n- so is ***" or stick people with large breasts... -_-;

There was one tag on the community basketball court that said "Fiend"... But I live in a neighborhood filled with prissy rich people, so it was removed as quick as it was painted :\

I reckon good grafitti only crops up in like densely populated places like cities and stuff.

Most towns have grafitti artists who are just groups of pikeys who do it because they think it's cool to ruin things while smoking cigarettes. In cities, you either get big groups of gangs, or/and actual talented people who get a kick out of spraying awesome pictures
Just a guess tho.. o_O

That is a good guess, but some little towns have some good graffiti artists. It just depends on what the condition of the competition is.

*shrug* There really isn't much to being a graffiti artist, anyways. Most of them that are out there are just a bunch of drugged out conformists, anyways. Most of the really unique artists that came around are either dead, old, or they don't actually write graffiti anymore. I mean, there are still some really nice ones out there, but I'm not saying that there's alot of them. Alot of writers tend to "bite" or steal another's way of graffiti, and it's been warped around soo much alot of peple's work looks in some ways similar to someone elses, and it just gets repetitive and boring.

A large misconception from the Joe
Public is that graffiti writers are just a bunch of gang members. *shrug* Yet again, it depends on where you're talking from. If you're talking about really big cities like San Francisco and New York, yeah there's going to be alot of gang members writing graffiti. But I suppose that could be really confused from just a "crew" (just a group of graffiti writers) to a gang.

Monkeyboy_McGee 02-21-2004 03:38 AM

Lol you sure know a lot about grafitti o_O
I'm english...and yeah, i'm just an average "joe pulic" XD so i was just guessing...everyone in my town/neighbouring town are just idiots who add 5 swearwords to every 2nd word they say, and smoke all day, and hurl senseless abuse at people just because they walked past =x

Boy i'd like to tie society up and give it a good seeing to with a large, nail-riddled stick :)

haunter 02-21-2004 03:44 AM

Thak showed me this site this guy made showcasing all of his stencils that he did... Some were kinda cool... I think he was british...

Nitkizi 02-21-2004 04:20 AM

Mmmm..graffitti...

It sounds like a food.

Nice work, by the way.

SlikRick 02-21-2004 04:27 AM

Theres a bunch of people are my neighborhood that are really well at doing graffitti. If I get my digital camera working again I'll take some pics of it and show u guys.

Eh, isn't that illegal? :p

WanDaMan 02-21-2004 11:19 AM

No graffitti where I live; just fire marks :p

SlikRick 02-21-2004 11:31 AM

Well obviusly it is illegal but it gives people a way to express themselves in a way that isnt violent -_-

I don't like it..If there's going to be an outline, I don't think it'd be a thin, black one.

Taking pictures of it? No.

Personally i think it's for idiots. Sorry, but i don't see anything nice on it. A gang is always making these stupid things in my ville and disturbing the people.

haunter 02-22-2004 12:03 AM

There's a difference between a gang trying to mark their "turf" and an artist expressing themself over a dirty, ugly wall.

marcoR 02-22-2004 03:38 AM

Some of the Graffiti in your area, haunter, is the best I've ever seen.

Hmmm, I sometimes like to know what the hell I'm expressing whenever I write a simple word up on a wall.

I dont live in the city dude... There are NO good graffiti artists around here... You're probably thinking of Halifax or Dartmouth... I don't live there...

TonyRivers 02-23-2004 07:09 AM

It was just a quick drawing I did to fool around with pixel graffitti of course I outlined it in black first what would you have done? use mspaint spray tool?

but about real graffitti I think some of it looks awesome but usally the gang graffitti around where I live is a bunch of crap with little artistic value like just little thin lines of scribble.

James2k2 02-23-2004 05:23 PM

There are some damn good graffiti artists in Medford, Oregon. I'm not surprised though. :\
