    Studying up and getting ready to do my first piece, in memory of my 13 yr old son that recently passed away unexpectedly. He always wanted to tag something and I never let him.
    You are SOOO right when you said, “You only live once.”
    I wish I would have let him do it.

      To be honest, i would love to have some nice graffiti if i had a building. Plus yeah, i am literally a teenaged graffiti artist. Tbh though, i wouldn't want tags on my building, just some nice graffiti with soul and something you can just appreciate and go wow.

      @@proxi9494 then you dont understand what painting walls means, its not about your art skills its about freedom and saying fuck all to society absurd rules and laws
      in that context its where people start measuring art skill or how cool it looks but remember this if its legal its definitely not graffiti, its called street art which is for pussies who use stencils :_D

      @@proxi9494 (kinda responding to the comment above urs too) but alot of people don't realize that even if you DO own your own building or even house - you still have to get permission to put up any kind of graffiti or art piece from your city/homeowners associations etc. You can't even paint your house or building certain colors without approval!
      UNLESS you out out on your own in the country literally outside of city limits.... then wjats the fun in that??? You're the only one who gets to enjoy it sure but it's nowhere near as rewarding.
      So yeah there's a reason graffiti is done on "other people's property"
      And why it - alot of the time - cannot be done even upon your own property.
      Maybe your car I suppose, but good luck on that insurance policy lol

    Thanks mate. I'm moving from abstract into characters, and this was really helpful. I love your relaxed approach to this aswell, when I first started painting I looked at tuturials, and some of the artists had an unintentionally condecending ''Do this, if you can't then you're simple'' attitude. It makes something which should be fun and therapeutic seem intimidating. Not you though, this was great, love from Copenhagen!

    what I dislike about Instagram is that now anyone can claim he gets up but in reality all they do is paint tunnels and take flicks of it. Nothing wrong with painting tunnels in fact it's probably the safest places you can paint at. but don't be out here tryna claim you got the city on lock when all your shits in one Tunnel.
