When I doing a throwie, a drunk bloke threw a bottle at me, it cut my hand, and now I have permanent nerve damage, still finished it though, and was the first time I used highlights. :)
So much accurate info in this video. I’ve not been painting long but luckily I had a friend who’s been painting for years and he’s introduced me to a nice handful of writers. All of them have been super chilled and nice and give me tips on improving. I’ve also been out alone in a legal spot and had a few good convos with writeres I happened to meet there. Long story short: A lot of graffiti artists are really nice, from all walks of life and just want to make the somewhat boring world a bit more colourful and keep the suits on there toes
Yup I remember that crews hated other crews. I'm 40 now and lived in San Jose and Fresno. It got bad back then. I went to the military and met other writers and we talked about that all the time back in the day.
Yeah the 90s had a lot of tag bangers. Here in LA currently there's a rise in graffiti again with all the new kids trying to get into it. There's definitely less tag bangers and I think thats more due to social media popularizing piecing and graffiti as a whole
I wouldn’t say it was territorial the scene was a lot tougher and people got robbed more and stealing was part of the game. But even in la were you had tag bangin the objective was the same get your name in as many places as possible preferably with style. It wasn’t like they only raged in there hoods and marked there territory like gangs often do
Nicely put mate. I'm im my 40's now &. started painting in 89! I was a BBoy white kid at first then got into other more serious shit,but I'm the last 10years since I discovered the array of CHEAP low pressure paint that I didn't have to rack I was BACK! But that door opened to a whole new group of friends (decent)! And changed my outlook on life completely!! I'm just a normal bloke from the UK who paints the odd train.... HEAVY SHIT now ! But the roadsides & jumping out the car to put a nice silver sub/throw up is my only vice. Nuff Respect 👌👍
Connor The Ace Yes you are right in a way but to me graffiti is just art and to some people it’s vandalism to me it’s just a part of life you grow onto
Sadly the graffiti writers in my area are violent. I almost got in a fight for tagging near some other writer. Also, hit me up in a video if you can, I write SKOE
Bruh you should see them in LA, they think your in their hood, if I Could tell you the amount of times a gangmember/ tagger tripped on me, you’d laugh. That’s why I either carry a gun or a knife
Nice work on the vid man, You should make a vid on the history of graff for those wanting to learn about its roots. Edit: what do you think about Sydney's own O.G. Mr Eternity and his 35 year bombing spree
all of this is relateable to me. sometimes when i go out to paint near the park, some kids in my school would see me and call me a delinquent or a vandal. like, im just trying to let myself relax and have fun.
I disagree with number 1. Even if writers go out with the intention of just having fun the inherent act of illegally putting up art is and will always be a somewhat political statement. A rejection of authority, private property, and the woes of capitalism. Intent isnt everything.
Graffiti isn’t mindless I found the most brilliant minds were writing on walls. The reason is they’re unappreciated for what they are. We don’t fit the mold and don’t want to fit the mold. I was told that I had to ride the college conveyor belt but I jumped off instead. I have no regrets ever years later I encourage those to pick up a can and go for it!
Back in the day in LA there were a lot of tagging crew that eventually ended up either Blood-Crip- or one of the Hispanic gangs….lit seemed like a natural progression that sometimes can happen in the streets
I've met a lot of graffiti writers (the illegal ones who tag the streets etc) and I can say they're the humblest and realest people I've ever met. The whole concept of graffiti writers being violent thugs is just so untrue. Yes, they do things that for "normal" people are incomprehensible and stupid but actually they're just people like us who have a rather odd hobby.
I tagged the whole school and got suspended for 5 days they said it’s related to drugs and gang activity/violence but I’m against drugs and I have a crew not a gang
Hey dude, I'm going to be in Melbourne for a month soon. I was wondering if I could contact you somehow to get some recommendations for walls to check out or that kind of thing. Let me know. I don't think youtube has the messaging function anymore.
I don't understand why civilians get pissed about it its not like they own the wall your doing it on also they are not going to get in trouble for it so I think it's annoying that people care so much
Lol misconceptions run deep, I did a pretty awesome piece on a public wall near my place, walked past it with a firend a few days later and she went off about how the person who made it is probably a druggie and homeless and just overall a shit person that could probably never even get into school. this is the same girl who calls me a sweetheart for bringing her coffee when shes running late to class or when im walking her dog while she's at work. I just had to laugh at the irony of the situation and she just looked at me like a i grew a 2nd head. Might do a graffiti piece for one of my art projects in the same class as her just to see her reaction
@@BroomsChannel havent done another one recently since none of my assignments really lend themselves to that context or medium, hoping soon we get one that would work for that but for now i'm working on much smaller stuff
L M A O I was very out of the loop. I understood throw ups and actual pieces but I always thought hand style was gang related. I was very wary of being in those areas lmao. Ive come a long way 😂
Most Writers are disrespectful now I live in greece somewhere near outside the city and people are so cool there going in the city tho to graffiti or tagging they are just fucking disrespectful.
Hi bro im a writer from Norway i Wondered if u van give me a hit up in one of your vids Realy love them vids bro keep it up bro And i have Been subscribed 4 Almost a year now love the vids♥️
Love the fact you added in that certain yards are territorial/held by a local crew. For the people thinking it is just so they can have it to themselves it is and it isn't. More people painting that yard means more attention and focus on that yard from the law, and I am probably not the only one who has had to seen thrown cans between the trains in a layup and has to have picked that shit up or people spagging the trains after the bar has closed. Don't burn your local yard.
The only reason i started painting in my city is because me and my friends are the only writers here the rest are just a bunch of kids that write their names on walls and dumb shit so me and my friends have set out to Brightin up the city which has been really hard because even tho it looks ez as he said in the vid it takes alot of time and planning and takes longer than people think i was one of these people i use to think that graffiti was of the top of the persons mind but no it takes hours or even days just thinking about the sketch itself
My friends and I started for the same reasons. There are 2 older writers in my town and then we have a bunch of kids, and some adults who paint swastikas and slurs. I started just crossing them out but now I'm doing shitty throws over them.
When I doing a throwie, a drunk bloke threw a bottle at me, it cut my hand, and now I have permanent nerve damage, still finished it though, and was the first time I used highlights. :)

In the 90s graffiti was territorial with all the tagbangers in LA and San Francisco. Nowadays it's different though.

Oh there’s still tag bangers lol there definitely is because I’m always running into them and getting banged on
@@eastsideofthetracks8311 believe me ik I run into them too but with less frequency. The 90s was the peak of tag banging in LA

There's ethics to graffiti but no rules. The moment you place rules and labels to graffiti is the moment you kill the spirit of it.
