(stolen from some picturer thred) http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j239/riddleboxxmcl/zeronew11.jpg

or the saber river peice cuz that looks like it would take days.....

[textathief]

a day-3 days

[sabeSAHBEY]

days and usualy like 5 people

[KaL1]

uhh buddy,
the saber peice didint take "days"it took many monthes to do.6 or 7 i think.

[textathief]

i didnt mean the saber piece i ment those complex pieces i know the saber one would have taken ages

[KaL1]

ohh peices
well it depends.first time u do it maybe a day or two.but u get faster from practice.try one at a wash or a wall noone can see wit cheap paint first.or just go 4 it.

[R00k1]

I would practice it like he said ^^

..Cause I just went for it..and it didnt look too good at all.

But it depends on the person.

[underground_culture]

chances are one dude didnt do that all by himself

its usalyl one or 2 whole crews doin it,

my guess is like 2 days

[Sprae]

sabers took a year is what i read

[riddleboxxmcl]

to take a day it would have to be a really chill spot and ive seen some that are right on busy streets in less u mean u do the some then come back and do more and so on..

[dharrison]

If you have it all pre-drawn, a crew of like 3 guys and a day or two.

[Aven]

the saber piece is some sick shit man....i heard it took like a year and is seeable from an airplane

[Seti]

[Aven]

[Aven]

[E-Terror]

theyre called permission walls

[riddleboxxmcl]

o thats stupid...

[E-Terror]

usually youll never see something that elaborate on anything but a legal wall.

chill walls arent worth all the time, cause they usually get blasted over within a week or 2

[riddleboxxmcl]

ya thats kind of a disapointment

[textathief]

sabers wasnt a legal. it was right next to a prison to

[E-Terror]

the LA river piece?

that just proves my point that when theyre not legal itsw not worth it cause it&#39;ll get blasted over

[dark\gbk]

yeh id say 1 crew bout 1-2 days

[zerohour]

can anyone show me how does that sabers pieace look, that it took to make about 1 year ?

[riddleboxxmcl]

[KaL1]

[kill]

that saber probably took an hour or two tops

[riddleboxxmcl]

[ockid]

whats the saber peice?

[Iamyourrealfatherbitchnigga]

props to JA for capping it haha

[kill]

ja is a dumass for capping it
and yes i know how many throw ups and shit ja has
asshole goes to la and caps the biggest piece on earth

[SeKs]

Your all wrong. it took a year and a half at night with about 97 Gallons of latex paint. it measured over 250&#39; by 55&#39;. It also reads his knees were so fucked up afterwards form those long endless nights on that slanted cement.

that&#39;s some fucking Determination.

Just google Saber River piece

[Germ]

thats crazy

[riddleboxxmcl]

ive always wanted to know what JA stands for

[E-Terror]

well?

[Dante Spitaliere]

Ja&#39;s got the biggest balls of them all.

[SeKs]

^^ seriously.... i bet he&#39;s Dead somewhere in a shitcan now. No fuckin Respect. Saber is THE definition of KING in my opinion.

[BRAINE]

JA does throws and tags.
hes crazy.

and to answer G-RAF, the story, which could be all heresay for all i know goes like this:
saber did that shit over a memorial piece for a dead friend of JAs (sane as i hear)
ja and foe capped him on a trip to the west coast, along with tons of other shit
saber and msk came to the east coast and tracked down ja
they slit his throat, and the only thing that kept his heart beating after losing that much blood was the extremely high level of cocaine in his system.

keep in mind, i do not condone gossiping about those you have not met, and i have not met either of these writers, and for all i know the story isnt true, and saber is gay.

[rolling roks]

or you could find a shop owner who enjoys art and our culture
but you ve got a snowballs chance in hell for that
but to answer your question riddlebox
a long ass time

[vampireboy65]

saber did that shit and it took him 6 months(i saw him say it in a interview) and he got surgery on his knees after. and msk came at JA with a boxcutter and fucked up his face HELLA bad but he still alive and saber al the way in fucking europe last i heard

[D-ELFY?]

Man Fuck That Ja Is The Best Hes Not An "artist" Like Saber Hes A Strait Fuckin Nuclear Bomber

[Caso]

Just so yall know, Saber said in the movie "Infamy" that it took him about 30 nights to complete, and 97 gallons of paint then some fool dissed it and he had to go back and touch it up. Good movie you should check it out.

Edit- He said 35 nights to complete, but I was sure it wasn't 6 months.

[vampireboy65]

6 months is alot closer than what some of these of the guys were saying like 1 year bull shit

[tense]

im pretty sure saber couldnt do some of the stuff JA does and vise versa, they both have completely different ways of writing graffiti, Saber is like Seen and JA is like Cap

[alive]

it took him a mad long fucking time. thats all that really matters, but still, u make it sound like for 6 months straight he was crawling around there 24/7. if it took him 6 months, he certainly was doing other shit. u know?

saber vs ja is kind of a piecer vs bomber thing. and it varies from person to person. they take diff kinds of skill, diff kinds of personalities. who cares. they all dope.

[tense]

i wonder if the city will ever buff it? oh, and JA stands for Jonathan Avildsen, just too let u know

[vampireboy65]

i give saber props cause i mean look at his fucking shit it fucking crazy and he has worked hard to get he shit to where it is now and JA i give props to to i mean shit that kid gets up EVERYWHERE like alive said they both do graffiti but both TOTALLY DIFFRENT ways

[tense]

i heard JA has thrown up more than 20000 throwups and over 100000 tags!!!!

[vampireboy65]

i dont dought it

[tense]

wat makes his shit so much more impressive is he racks his paint in NYC and there all the paint is in cabinets, heard he can rack upwards of 150 cans a day!! JA is the ALL TIME ALL CITY KING OF NYC

[vampireboy65]

srry idk what u talking about i mean he fucking sick and gets up but humm lets think cope2 fucking world famous shit in movies

[ReW]

i think it took saber 39 nights or something to do that big piece. in the LA river.

sorry 35

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbWP50ZlEV4

[vampireboy65]

35

[alive]

srry idk what u talking about i mean he fucking sick and gets up but humm lets think cope2 fucking world famous shit in movies


ur a complete fucking idiot. cope is wack. haha. cookie cutter shit, hes in a movie, who the fuck cares. besides, ja is in movies 2.haha.




ura tool. lol. no lies/

[tense]

i dunno, cope2 is a crazy ass writer man, he can pretty much do everything, bomb and piece, plus he has the most recognizable throwup ever

[vampireboy65]

alive i dont mean fucking graffiti movies i mean like fucking movies like shrek3 and srry how the fuc ku think cope wack i like to u do fucking better and i didnt say ja wasnt good jackass i just said he anit no fucking king of new york

[role]

shrek gave me props, i'm all city now

[vampireboy65]

lol hella dude just i mean give cope fucking cred it

[tense]

Ur sayin JA ISNT a king in New york?! im sorry but if ur sayin that than ur way offf base, JA is the biggest graffiti writer every to hit that city, hes went ALL CITY over 20 times, he is the fukin definition of ALL CITY!

[vampireboy65]

graffiti is all just bout getting name up u gotta have style anbd change shit up i not saying he bad HE FUCKING SICK and gettes up the most outta every writer just there are other good writers

[tense]

yee man, i agree wit that, theyre r alotta good writers, whether they bomb or piece or do both, but i think overall cope2 and seen r prob the best, they can do everything

[vampireboy65]

ya i know that what i trying to say hey u ever heard of NORM

[tense]

HELL YEAH, hes a fukin crazy writer from SF

[vampireboy65]

YA DUDE HE FUCKING BOMB TOO i live near SF see his shit DAM that kid rocks SF like nothing he hella good and some of he SHIT IS HUGE like 4 stories huge

[tense]

yee i remember seeing sum shit on youtube, fukin giant blockbuster, SF has one of the bset scenes in the world, Tie(RIP), Norm, Saber, Revoke all bombed SF at one time or another

[vampireboy65]

ya i wish i lived a bit closer i have done my own shit there yet but i have seen alot.dream(RIP)

[tense]

overall, i think west coast graff beats east coast, vancouver has a pretty solid scene, but SF and LA r massive!!

[Tagger101]

i heard JA has thrown up more than 20000 throwups and over 100000 tags!!!!


yea
i shit my pants when one of his trians showed south of town here
it was amazing
ive also seen CABs shit drivin to cali too





and yes thirty five NIGHTS it took him to do the LA RIVER ROLLER

[tense]

took 126 gallons of rolling paint! he racked all that shit too, ballsy

[alive]

being in movies like shrek doesnt mean shit. what the fuck does that say about your letters, about your ups. it means youve got a good publicist, and they wanted some graffiti in the movie. or hes got a friend with good connections. who the fuck cares.

cope2 didnt even make his own goddamn throw.

he never had, and never will have as many ups as JA. and his pieces arent actually all that good. yeah, its better then me and all that shit, but i can still see, the letters arent that great.

http://www.gothamist.com/images/2005_06_timecope2-thumb.JPG



deal with it, if that was in the toy forum, ppl would be talking about that wack as fuck arrows on the P, both of em. and the random ass extension on the top of the E.



but quite frankly, its pretty fucking stupid to argue abt this at all. worry abt ya own wack letters.

the LA river piece =)

[tense]

every writer with dedication and drive is dope

[tesfortis]

http://www.citynoise.org/upload/6704.jpg

JA & FOE PWNED SABERS gay LA river piece. ROFL.

[tense]

y did he do that in the first place? were he and saber beefin then he went over or did he just go over it for the hell of it?

[tesfortis]

From what I hear he went over the LA river piece 'cause he got all fucked up by MSK.

[tense]

i know he started bombing LA pretty hard in mid 90's, did they actually beat the shit outta him or did they go over all his shit?

[Tagger101]

he probly got the shit beat out of him kuz of that

[tesfortis]

This thread is way off topic. Thirty five days to paint that monster... probably one night to cap the shit out of it(just to kinda stay on topic). Now that's beef.

[busek]

i know he started bombing LA pretty hard in mid 90's, did they actually beat the shit outta him or did they go over all his shit?This is what i heard from the older homie from tko. is that ja went down there and capped msk. so they fucked him up. he got mad fucked up the l.a. river bomb. saber went back and fixed.end of story.ja is a bitch anyway all he did was bitch tags and throwies across the bomb

[Olick]

what. idd you expect him to do a piece?

throwups over pieces.

thiers no rule that says you have to.

ja gets up
saber is good
