Just got done adding some precious 80’s flix to the gallery.  These pictures and quite a few others have been rolling around in my collection for some time.  Takes me back to the day when we actually had to be in front of a piece or be prepared to use a lot of stamps to [...]

Updated the video and instead of cutting it to 6 parts, I sped it up into one. This should at least be SOME example of how to paint graffiti letters on a wall. I will try to make a few more videos when I can, but it seems like painting season may be [...]

I found a few good ebooks and tutorials that relate to photographing your art with or without models. Graffiti has come a long way over the years and its now even possible to make a living off of our art. Where such a thing may be frowned upon. I say that those doing the frowning aren’t good enough or just haven’t figured it out yet. Don’t get me wrong, to do it for money alone is pretty shitty, but at the same time, it never hurts to make a few bucks doing what you enjoy. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The very same subculture that did everything it could to separate itself from the dirt within began to glorify it instead. All at the hands of the record labels and mercenary individuals that would sell their souls for a dollar. The graffiti community got to suffer this as a result.

You can buy a successful graffiti career in the 21st century. All you need is an internet connection and a credit card and you can get all the supplies you need as well as a whole photo album of shit to bite.

Lesson,

FUCK SMALL LETTERS they never come out right anyway
Always make sure your painting partner is gonna be around to finish the piece
again, GO BIG…
an outline can sometimes be handy
and finally….DON’T USE VALSPAR PAINT FOR ANY DETAIL WORK….PERIOD
