[what4joke...]

[provinT13]

[Save and Kill]

the writer that inspired me to start is Above

[klic]

haha same here man, i thought he was the greatest writer ever when i first started, if it wasnt for youtube, nobody would know about him

Anser has to be my tagging idol, im seeing his pieces everywhere in toronto. Besides being completely original. You see his faces in places where no body else tags, like the fifth level of an in construction high end condo building. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=137644000421&ref=ts
Some links to his work on face book

[graffdabusup]

ynot has to be the favorite for tags/bombs
atomik and dose for pieces

[Marke]

id have to say aboveone, ske rip, mask, abe, style, stompdown crew, basically anyone who writes in surrey actually hahaha.

Well then how the fuck could you leave out Sizes? Hes got super clean throwies and I've only seen one of his pieces but it was tight.

[Cure Sure Lure]

In Rotterdam there's this guy called Risk.
You should look him up you will love him too, he lives in Rotterdam, place I live in too.
He made a dutch movie '' Fatcap Express '' but he got caught by the cops and shit doesn't tag anymore, that was a bummer. Because he was Legend, BIG !

His pieces are original, not wildstyle easy to read, beatiful colour mixes blends, no drips. So clean just wow ! Man he would hit up trains, even if it would be washed away the next day. He all did it for respect, such an active graffer he was.
Respect.

[IS2 TINC]

The crew SNC and MCS where i live they bombed knowing the cities graffiti removal team was best in the county and because they went over a krew i had beef with i looked up to thier member DORE also my man AMIK my rival and friend

[thebigman]

[hasemler]

theres this older writers that live downtown, pro and mek

they never get buffed cuz they're tags are all in like virgin spots

and they're peices just blow away half the shit iv'e seen anywhere period.

[DeeSquared]

my favorite hero is Monkey Mang
see i lives in malibu and crim there is at an all time high
and one day when i was strollin wit my crew down by the skating rink the east coast boys came up to us and started to throw up gang signs, so we had to pull out our weapons all i had was chain at the time so i spun that shit and whiped a ***** in the face then he pulled a gun out on me, i said hell naw mang, then Monkey Mang came and he restrained them and took there gats so we were safe that was the 1st time Monkey Mang saved me and that wont be the last......

[ErrorOner...]

[JustChillin]

DAHM
That fool bombs the shit out of where I live. I dont know if any of you 818 writers have seen him around or any of you LA writers. Hes got that perfect type writing letter style that I want to have. Hes hit up spots that I still dont even know how he got there.

[PYT!TLC!]

There was a writer around my area that wrote MEDS. I saw his tags and bombs everywhere around the county. He got caught though. :(

[Plan-C]

this guy "aids"
he bombed like the 25th story of a historic building here perfectly for everyone to see.
plus i see alot of his stuff all over.

[resign]

You know Monkey Mang is an actual guy? he's an actor in japan.

[Darko]

[Lsd]

Well around my area Sic33 for being on the wall outside the doors before we came back in from recess and Ntox Ebs Kp10 Voltron cause the fucker kills it i got to watch him paint a few spots while he was up here big inspiration.

[markingz.]

I also really have and always loved CHAN from CKT crew in SF. He's a real sick writer how he like beefs with mad people and still gets up like hell, he's all about bombing. I also like the others in his crew like gory, atari, there all so clean.

[take_chi]

Fik is my heRO. I woould see his shit all around my hood. He is one of the reasons I strarted writting, I wanna meet that guy.

[gumOnShoe]

heros..no heros locally, at least.
all the 'writers' out here bust out those 99cent store paint tags that reeks of shit
there's also those infamous pencil on concrete gang tags on occasion. i don't htf their pencil points don't fall off. there's those occasional good tags, but those people are all stuck up dickheads, atleast in my area....god i hate my neighborhood....i want to move...

[proNYNJA]

my local heroes are

the people 4rm RK
and the people from O25.

[chiefy]

42 crew and db are my heroes because that was like the first piece i ever saw and made me want to have a go.

[thepekins]

my favorite three writers in my town write Hands, Aesop, and Saxon. Hands has some good tags in a lot of different parts of town and I saw an amazing piece done by him as I was walking home today. Saxon rwrites really good tags, has a lot of different tagging styles but I dont see a lot of spray painting of any sort by him. No paint tags, bombs or pieces. But Ive seen one massive one done by him that was pretty good. Same goes for Aesop, a lot of different styles of tagging, but not much spray paint anywhere. Tagging is the coolest style of graffititi imo

[eel2]

local heroes? probly my dad.. yea.. hes done some pretty great things for me.. but hey how else is a boy gonna learn how to throw a baseball? he also gave me this magic set when i was 12 that i still use at lunchtimes to put on shows at my highschool. yea, ive had some pretty fun times... another hero id like to acknowledge is old mr. davies from down the street. hes just a regular man living an honest life, the owner of a modest lil hardware store, yea.. i hope this helps people realize all pf the great people in their lives, doing simple things that make huge differences. i hope we can all take a moment to reflect on these things...

sincerely,
steel eel the second

[Anon937]

SEER, ETCH, CHOKE, CHEMIST, and PASK.
I met ETCH and he was the only open person. His buddies IOWA and AFRIK are secretive but I understand that I'm a toy, but Etch was a good man.
My favorite by far is Choke though, simply because his tags are simple and not all crazy with add ons.

[mattxgrace]

If you're from Alabama, like me, your hero is Daze. Oh, and Skynyrd.

[Minx]

NM (Northern Monkeys ??), TNS (The New Style/They Never Sleep/The Night Shift) and VSD (Vandal Squad)

Local crews, not always directly related but always seen together, quite possibly the best artists from 90's - 00's (in my opinion). Don't see to many of their work these days, I guess a lot of them quit, but I've always loved their stuff. INCH, SEBZ, SAER, KEZAH/KEHS, DISM, RAPE, SONE, ROYAL, MASH, among others all put out some of the best pieces in my area. INCH especially is probably the mosty notorious for his levels of tagging and cost of damage to property, as well as the quality of his work.

Their work is always very simple, but the quality of the lettering and coloring is always great and it kept getting better the longer they were graffing. This is probably why I like simplistic graffiti so much, from seeing their work all over the place, I'm sure you'll be able to see a lot of influences in my work as that's just what the style was like our way. I'll try not to post too much, but here's some of my favourites (all from 90's - 00's)...
