graffiti .......how do the little punks do it and make to look so good, not that i approve of it but some of the punks have talent

this morning i thought it would be fun getting the boys to spray paint 'graffiti' up a big box that would hold my sisters birthday present

normal spray can sprays in a fan so i removed the nozzle, it sprayed better but there was still splatters bad on the edges and paint drips land on ones new leather thongs

the two boys and i reckon spray painting graffiti sucks and way too hard, should have got normal paint and brushes........instead of being a cheapskate

Who're you calling a little punk?

to stop the "globules" shake the can more. the density of the spray is controlled by range. They plan ahead and use the spray of the topmost layers to cover the overspray of the underside.

Its impressive to watch, I got to help out with one of the "sponsered" grafiti walls.

The inside wall of my factory......

i love the proper atwork, but it ****s me off how 99% of it is simply tagging these days

I'm probably wasting my breath but without tags there wouldn't be any "artwork".

Tags and pieces go hand in hand. The sole purpose of any graffiti writer, who takes writing seriously, is to get his name "up" or seen the most.

The "artwork" or pieces, to be more precise, came about back in the 70's when New York writers basically ran out of room on the trains and in order to be seen they had to come up with another way. They started to do bigger and bolder letter's, using wider nozzles on the cans and started to fill in around the letters to cover up the tags.

It evolved from there to what you see today.

Some may be interested to know that in the 80's and 90's Melbourne, Australia was considered to be the graffiti capital of the world, outside of New York city.

There....breath wasted.

D110V8D, your factory walls look colourful but it appears theres something written there and as hard as I try I cant work it out. I always think if the graffitti artists made there "work" more legible it also might make more sense.

What you see are 3 tags....the "style" of the tag or piece comes from within and is an expression of ones self. Like any art it wont make sense to many but it makes perfect sense to other artists or writers in this case.

Have a closer look and let your mind take in what is in front of you. Letters aren't just straight up and down. Writers have made an art out of letters and form which is hard for most to comprehend.

In fact most writers can tell who did a piece regardless of what it says purely by the style of the lettering and form of the piece, much the same as someone being able to pick a Salvador Dali (for example) piece out of hundreds of others without anything else to go on other than knowing his style.

I love graffiti I think there is some very talented people out there...I think they should be provided with some where to do it..IMHO

otherwise we end up with peoples personal property tagged which I don't agree with...

In the UK they started to provide walls for them to do it....to embrace the talent that was around.
