  • In LA graffiti artists have been tagging, and rocking pieces on a few unfinished high-rises. Countless graffiti artists have entered the buildings and painted the inside and outside of these skyscrapers with beautiful graffiti that can be seen from afar. The Grammy Awards are set to take place near these towers, and officials stated while they'd like to have the graffiti cleared before then, it simply isn't possible.

    I live in Tromsø in northern Norway. To see the videos of Ocean Wide Plaza tagged down really motivates me. To be doing graff is to be part of something bigger than yourself and your town.
    Love your videos

    Grim, I’m new here, do you have a video explaining the fundamentals of NYC style or San Fran Funk style pieces, and also Wildstyle? All the best, Fox

    • @Theartistblock
      @Theartistblock  5 місяців тому +1

      Firstly, welcome and thanks for the support. the fundamentals are the fundamentals, they dont change based on san fran, NYC, or Philly. if you understand and learn the fundamentals, and how they function, you can do any graffiti, in any language, hell, you'll even be able to do a made up alien language in a NY, San Fran, or Philly style if you wanted to. focus on learning the fundamentals without style and when you learn that you'll be able to do any style easily. I have 1 complete playlist that teaches all 5 of graffiti's basics and we're working on a second updated playlist that so far has a few vids but is not complete. The videos you're looking for are tutorials on
      Letter structure
      Negative space management
      Letter name weight
      Letter name positioning
      Flow

    • @ORENONE

      @Theartistblock firstly thanks for the quick, in-depth, no bs response. Looks like putting my head down and grinding it out is the best way forward.. I guess it's frustrating having all this passion and wanting to immediately excel at something you love! It takes time, time to practise over and over all the techniques, and you can't cheat practise if you want to be an authentic artist. Since 2019, I've gone from tags to throws, I'm on BASIC straight letters now. Gonna have to look at your stuff for more on the fundamentals, appreciate all the work you're doing, and thanks for being real with me.

    Someone should make a building like this but it’s specifically dedicated for graffiti. That way there isn’t an excuse to tear it down or buff the graffiti on it. It could be like a legal wall or should I say a legal tower.

      @Theartistblock  5 місяців тому +1

      Any writer who says they aren't a criminal is delusional and childish. We all know what we do or did is against the law and therefore makes writers criminals, that's why many do it to begin with. Let's not be childish and pretend breaking the law isnt crimal activity, that's literally part of being a writer.

    I live in Miami
    Im an Artist
    I was painting faces on trees
    in North Miami Beach
    the city hated them but a lot of
    people liked them
    lucky for me i didnt get caught
    the problem with graffiti
    is you dont get paid
    so those dudes on that building
    are putting themselves in
    danger ...for no pay

      Graffiti artists are not supposed to be paid. They destroy and vandalized private property. None of the them can even own property so they go out and destroying out of boredom or bc someone called them an artist.

    Graffiti artists are pretty cool. I love all the unique art they make. If I had my own house, I’d hire a bunch of them to spray paint my walls. I love seeing all the detail in each artist’s tag. Yeah, what they’re doing is illegal, but in the pursuit of art, anything is a canvas if you’re brave enough. Art has been pushing the boundaries for centuries, and these graffiti tags are no different from the art of ancient times. Controversial, yet beautiful. Still, what these artists are doing is dangerous and illegal, and I hope they stay safe and careful.

      He will actually they are already discussed painting over many murals n downtown LA. This has been discussed in meetings. Money will be diverted to paint over many so called artists work. They will also raise a tax on spraying and all paints including the paint used to cover it up. This will be a win win for those people who cannot pay the fines.
