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

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... -_-;

I've been doing it for 4 years now.
Not like I live near you or anything.

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.

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
