u know youre obsessed with graffiti when...
your friends come in from outta town to paint at an all day event, and youre so excited that night, that you dont get any sleep. then you paint for 8 hrs and stay awake till 3 in the morn the next day
or, when the highlight of your yr is the road trips and flights you plan several months in advance to paint with your boys
when, you gotta keep yourself from talkin about graffiti non stop to people who really dont care that much, cuz every conversation comes back to graffiti and every ice breaker is about graff
you know your obessed with graffiti, when you practice your handstyles in the air, like a nervous twitch, cuz you dont have anything to write on
when you dream of letter styles

- When you have more graffiti in your notebooks in school then actual notes...
- When you go to the bathroom at some random place and find your tag there from 4 years ago :P (true story lol)
- When you post on these forums about being addicted to graffiti
- When you go on vacation with your family and sneak out of the hotel and bomb places around you (true story lol)
- When more people know you as your alias rather then your real name
- And when no matter where you are, who your with, what your doing... Graffiti is always on your mind and you are always looking for a new spot to hit up..
Thats all I got for now..

You Know Your Obsessed With Graffiti When;
You don't leave home without atleast one marker
All or most of your clothes have been ruined by paint/ink
Your hands are always multicolored
You can find caps in any given area of your house
You can't go anywhere without picturing how nice a wall would look with atleast a throw
You're consantly playing with color skemes in your head
You notice graff in all forms (From stupid scratchies to burners)
Ever time you sneeze you get another color of the rainbow
You've left your girlfriend in your room to go out bombing
The walls of your room have been ruined from 'testing'
Your everyday writing starts too look like a handstyle
Your sleeping paterns are very different from the average Joe's
You buy/rack anything that can be used for writing
It hurts your eyes to see a freshly buffed wall, yet it says HELLO! at the same time.
You've realized that black stands out at night, so you wear dark blues instead
Flat black is a staple to everything you do
You can't remember the last time you got the full 8 hours sleep
You can't remember the last time your hands weren't many colors
You've skipped out on family dinners, funerals, reuinions to go bombing
Every time you get an order in from Bombing science it's like christmas has come
You've scoped spots for days on end, just go figure out all of it's ins and outs.
You'd rather buy supplies than food
You can hear the balls rattling in a can a mile away.
You know more writers than normal people
You have more ups than money
You know you can fly almost anywhere in the world and have a place to stay (Through other writer's you've met online, or through jams, ect.)
You're actually happy your city is going into a graffiti locdown, as it's going to filter the lifers from the fools
You get sick of these things, and go off to sketch. Which I'm doing right now.
lol pretty much all o dat shit is me

You know you are obsessed with graffiti when you...
Turned down sex for a night out bombing.
Look at every spot with a possibility of it being bombed.
Fear not having paint.
Feel naked without a marker or paint with you.
Get mad when you feel like sketching but cant think of anything good.
Look at everything for inspiration.
Look at cops and chuckle.
Never have clean fingernails.
Look at backpacks with cans and marker holders in mind.
Look at jackets and check to make sure they can accomidate cans and markers without revealing them.
Are up at 2 in the morning typing about graffiti on Bombing Science.
Get back home from a night of bombing and are just fucking itching to get back out.
Notice every single mistake you make when you paint.
Walk back across town to fix a mistake you possibly made.
Walk back across town because you think you left a paint cap there.
Write your tag name on a Cigarette before you smoke it.
Cant think of anything to type about Graffiti but thoughts are surging through your mind.

-rather talk to kids on AIM that you've met from BombingScience or 12oz than people you know in real life.
-you read through all the shit in this thread and realize that everyone here is pretty much the same and graffiti is actually one huge fuckin community.
shits pretty funny how graf links everyone with the same neurotic habits and impulses. it'd be interesting to see a study or sociological case done on graffiti writers.

You know you're obsessed with graffiti when Bombingscience.com is your homepage.
You know you're obsessed when the only time you look up in math class is when the teacher says 'graph'
You know you're obsessed when the only people on your camera are those who walked in front of the piece.

you know you're addicted to graffiti when...
you spend a night in jail for tagging and all you can do that night is tag the cell with any kinda zipper you still have on you.
then when they finally let you go from court you get your markers from you property bag and start tagging the courthouse.
you know you're addicted to graffiti when...
the cops always identify you as the guy that tagged the cop cars at 21 division.
you know you're addicted to graffiti when...
instead of thinking up elaborate ways to make money, youre coming up with elaborate ways to steal more paint

starting off:
-you spend a good hour and a half on ebay looking for cheap markers, paint, ect.(amazing stuff on there)
-you have frequent re-occuring dreams about becoming a moderator on bs
-you find some of your best sketches come out when you draw them naked
-you know exactly when the price of paint at the store has gone up or down, what they are carrying now days and whats good and what isnt
-you have done at least 3 research papers on different aspects of street art
-you have read the a2planet graffiti guide in its entirety
-you have to watch to keep from bumping your steel hard on against you wet paint while nearing a finished piece
-you've filled pages and pages of you class notebooks with various drawings
^many of those pages are filled from top to bottom
-you find yourself making "fatasy shopping carts" of everything you wish you could by from your favorite online graffiti supply store, with everything exact down to the last detail
-when someone even mentions that they write you automatically start bombarding them with questions to see if its someone you've been looking for
-a tear comes to your eye everytime you drive/walk by a piece or poster that you or a friend has done on the streets

Scrap off the sole of your shoes and burn it and then crush the burnt rubber into powder. Mix the powder with your own urine or someone elses if you have a preference. Your own tattoo ink.

You find yourself looking for graffiti wall to rooftop when you roll down the high way.
You always look for spots that would be sick to do in the future when driving.
You accidently start practicing your tagging and piecing on your school assignments and then finally noticing and having to quickly erase it really good off the paper so the teacher wont see.
You start tagging in the air with your finger.
Your always trying to scratch paint off in between your fingernails that has been there for a week when a cop comes by.
You find yourself correcting other people when they try to pronounce someone elses piece or tag on a wall.
The inside of your pocket is stained with ink and paint.
You have a piece of your first name (John) on your backpack.

when you're with your best mate, in the middle of talking some heavy shit, stop mid sentence and go "dude, we need to hit there" and instantly start planning, leaving the heavy life issue completely forgotten.
Tagging dewy cars late at night, just so the owner see's.
when you know your way through the city based on throwies and spots.
when your books are trashed.
When you have an art piece in a gallery, and you've covered the back of it in tags and hollow throws.\
When your local paint shop instantly asks what can's you need.
when you go on holiday and start noticing who's up within a day.
when your biggest fear is never buying paint.
when you actually pay for shit paint, because racking from the store is too heat, but you really need to go paint that night because you haven't gone on a mission for 3 days.
when your on the computer you always end up on this site

I can easily say this has never happend to me
maybe like twice
also alot of these are dumb
I've never signed a handstyle in the place of my name.
I've also never been unaware that I was writing on my apper
anymore I jsut do it who gives a fuck what the teacher thinks, they'll probably just think you're artistic
also please stop saying "when you're driving down the road and almost crash cus you're looking at graffiti LOL."
also
Fucking up notebooks that you tell yourself are going to be used for school
But you just end up destroying them with hands throws and pieces

... you've crashed your car because you were too focused on a passing freight instead of on coming traffic that you ended up swerving into.
it was an ICH piece if my memory serves me correctly..
Was it the whole car with the silver and the green? Because that shit got me. I tripped on the tracks and broke my glasses.

Graffiti Pimps & Graffiti Prostitutes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAFFITI PIMP -
A graffiti pimp is that individual who for obvious personal reasons, sponsors the graffiti prostitutes and without any regard and respect for our Culture, continues to perpetuate the racist and classist denigration of our Culture by referring to it as "graffiti."
A "signature" and/or a "masterpiece" were never, nor will they ever be, a "crude drawing," a "scribble," a "scratch," or a "scrawling."
The graffiti pimp is usually a Culture outsider who has never set foot inside a train yard or tunnel to write his or her name or do a masterpiece on a train car, and/or risk his or her behind to the 600 volts of juice that run on the third rail. They've never done all of the above because the graffiti pimp simply put, was never a Writer. This being-an-outsider factor is, by the way, one of the reasons why the graffiti pimp doesn't understand that those of us who are Writers, refer to our art form as Writin' instead of "graffiti."
Graffiti pimps are always searching for and expecting some type of personal reward for their manipulation and mentoring of the graffiti prostitutes that make up the pimp's barn. This reward could be financial, free press, fame, etc.
There are two types of graffiti prostitutes, of the first and the second kind.
GRAFFITI PROSTITUTE OF THE FIRST KIND -
It is the worst of the two kinds. This creature will distort history by selling his / her false soul to a book author or to a film maker and by lying. Making up stories. Placing himself / herself at a place in time that really never existed or will ever exist, a "twilightzonical" situation.
It is the worst of the two types of "g" prostitutes because the film, magazine article, or book in question will remain as a printed record filled with false data for future generations to also be misled.
Of course, this kind of "g" prostitute carries out this type of behavior for personal, selfish gain. But in this mythical and self-serving process, the "g" prostitute of the first kind hurts the accuracy of historical data on Aerosol Art.
The damage is worst if the book or movie in question really takes off and is very successful in the public domain. Obviously, the more people who see or read this prostitute's garbage, the greater the number of people who are at risk of being misled and misinformed, such as it is the case of a lot of people in Europe who became aware of "graffiti" through Hip Hop, and therefore, have been misled to believe the nonsense that "graffiti is one of the four elements of Hip Hop." This suggestion is just as ludicrous as the suggestion that it's Barack Obama's policies which have caused the financial mess we currently face.
Modern aerosol Writing as we know it, was started in Philadelphia and NYC in the late '60s - early '70s. Hip Hop was started in the late '70s. In this case, the chicken absolutely, positively did not come before the egg. Instead, it was the other way around.
GRAFFITI PROSTITUTE OF THE SECOND KIND -
This kind of graffiti prostitute is the one who sells his / her "tag" to be featured on anything and everything from condoms to jeans to skate boards to toilet paper, in order to make a few chump dollars.
This poor creature is just that - poor, and must earn some chump change somehow in order to survive. This is the kind of graffiti prostitute who labels himself or herself an "entrepreneur." The same kind who will sell his/her "tag" for a few dollars @ eBay. Who knows,
with the advances in technology, it may be appropriate today to refer to this creature as a 'cyber-graffiti prostitute.'
At times, this kind of graffiti prostitute will try to convince a bona fide Writing pioneer from the real Old School of NYC Writing, to join him/her @ eBay for example, in an attempt to ride the historical coattails of the legitimate Old School Writer.
Today, the majority of the public who visit eBay and are not familiar with the true history of NYC Writing, run the risk of being further misled into believing a "g" prostitute's false "historical" hype such as, "Yo!, I started 'bombing' in the early '70s." If the public sees, for example, this "g" prostitute's tag alongside a "Stay High 149" signature being auctioned off for a few chump dollars, the public has very little choice but to believe that the "g" prostitute is indeed a "pioneer" and a "legend."
Although a graffiti prostitute of the second kind has the unethical qualifications to lie about his / her place in time in the history of Aerosol Art, his / her behavior is not as damaging to the history of Aerosol Art as a graffiti prostitute of the first kind's is, but nevertheless, will sell all rights to his / her name without regard for where it may be printed and how often it may be printed, therefore, truly losing out on the full benefit of residual income. Some "entrepreneur," a true loser!

-when you go in a mission to rack or buy anything that relates to graffiti all day once or twice a month.
-making a new batch of ink or paint.
-getting a pack of stickers or usps sticks.
-seeing new tags,pieces, ect up (when your in a town/little city).
-watching every train pass by, or hearing the noise you run too it.
-riding, skating, walking, ect around just to find a new spot to write or slap.
-when ever someone tells you they or a friend wants something done from you on anything and would pay.
-you go looking for your past pieces/tags/slaps to see if theres more or if its been buffed or writtin over or if its still there, or you go to the spots where you were last.
-make new friends and soon find out they write.

-In grade 7&8 using white out in desks as if they were rollers!!!
-Not going to highschool grad...mum,just buy me some paint for the gift.
-Sketching in your room for sometimes 4-5 hours.
-People wanting you to do canvases and making good pocket money off em.
-Oh and of course, spotting out every tag you possibly can in the streets.
