There are actually plenty of really sick, well respected stencil guys out there. If you get caught with a stencil you are Fucked.
Throw up writers need to go home. Stop scribbling bullshit on the walls. Nobody likes your shit, nobody cares about what you wrote, your just a fucking dog pissing on random trees when you do that.
Real pieces on walls and political graffiti is cool though.
I love when you see a piece and wonder, how the fuck did he do that?

High on meth or coke at like 3am. Nah, I kid, but I agree, I see some where they must have dangled from some sketchy shit. Nuts

I'm not super into it, but I know that the hardcore graf dudes arent into the stencil shit. I think that falls more into the 'street art' folder.. like banksy and shit. He does some amazing stuff...

cellphone photo of a photo that tobin had in Hamburger Eyes 11 i think but yea, i suppose that guy must come up eventually when talking graffiti and skateboarding.

My roomy, some graffitti dude and I got drunk in our appartment and I fulfilled a childhood dream by writing fut on a wall. We had to paint over it early next morning because the landlord called us and said she would come check out if everything was fine.



this was pretty random and inspired by beer.


sums up my graffitti carreer pretty much. at least I was outside and got some fresh air.

I climbed up on top of an Earthfare and spray painted a fish with it's eyes crossed out and wrote "Fish don't have Feelings" above it.  Does that count?

I think it's rad when people are good at it. Bad graf is the worst though. It just sucks.

FDR always had some real gems...The cradle said "Eat A Dick" in two foot tall letters for over a year, but that was a while ago.  Haven't skated Philadelphia in ages.

One of my all time favorites. So much so that I made a hat with that piece on it. Vicky is the proud owner of said hat now.

Public art is the shit.

[MEOW]

some graffiti is tight but i'm not crazy into it.. these two pieces are right near my work and i've grown pretty fond of them





anybody have the link to that amazing moving wall art video that was like 8 minutes long? i know it was posted here a few months ago but i couldn't find it.

[Claude Tanner]

I am the worlds worst artist but it fun doing stupid characters. I don't like seeing stuff with just people names written no matter how tech it is. The walls at parallel usually had really cool shit on them, like this futurama piece

and this one
Did this in barcy with urkel

Anyone else psyched on it?

I was trying to put a stencil on this empty sign thing on the side of this building, I had to stand on top of a fence to be able to reach it so I put my bag and stuff in a shopping cart at the bottom of a fence and I'm just chillin spraying the stencil on when I hear "Hey,what are you doing up there?!" and my first thought was 'how sick would it be if I just sprayed this fool in the face' but I just looked down and it was some old drunk dude and I just hopped down grabbed my bag and just nonchalantly walked off. The good thing about graffiti is that it really lets you see your town/city in a different light (if you  go out really late and wander looking for spots) it sucks when you see a piece that you did get buffed out though.

[gaiparee]

its difficult to find photos of guerrilla grammar corrections of signs but the typo eradication advancement league have the right idea. too bad they were arrested for correcting historical signs in the grand canyon. and yes, because i am a nerd this does qualify as graffiti for me.

ahaa! Thanks!

That book looks pretty cool. I see it had a photo of FREEZE in there.

He was in the Style Wars documentary.
I guess I was close...

They called that guy the freeze cause when he'd breakdance he would freeze in the middle of a move.
 (like stopping in the middle of a windmill)
That's where it came from.

just felt like sharing that random info.

[baxty]

Only graffiti I know.


But really, my friend nick has some crazy drawings, half of them I have no idea what he's writing but they look sick.

[loophole]

[Matze]

i hang out with graffiti guys, stuff is nice to look at when it's proper done.

and it's nice to start a hung over sunday with a beer and watching your homies create something good looking.

Homie this best be from several years ago, why the fuck do you have not one, but TWO trucker hats in sight?

[brycickle]

As for skaters and graf artists, I'll take Jay Meer of neckface any day.

[EricLogan]

I've seen this stuff around town forever before finding out a good friend of mine for a long time has been doing it

[Foray]

Word has it guy in my avatar doesn't skate anymore, just work and hiding in mud for three hours while cops search for him, seems rad...

I don't really like just letters, they can all look pretty monotonous, characters and faces are really cool though.

[Mark Snappleyard]

I spray painted a bird on a building once, and that night a detective came to my house to talk to me.  He looked exactly like I would expect a detective to look, except he didn't have a pipe.

Another time, my friend painted a sonic on a building, and then Bobby Worrest came and tagged over it.  Bobby Worrest is a jerk.

find the dill

[Ben Throttle]

the IRAK dudes are fucking nuts. I was cruising around Bedford looking for this breakfast spot/maybe dinner? and up comes Earsnot with like two gold teeth and this ridiculous looking longboard. I said what's up to him and he stopped to talk for a second... nice guy

[crackrazor]

Yeah
