yo, do you guys think its a good idea to have a map of my city taped to the inside of my black book
it has red dots for spots ive hit up
blue dots for safespots (places i go when its to hot, such as freinds house, shortcuts, ect.)
and yellow dots for places i plan to hit up
it has no writing on it what so ever as to what the dots represent or anything else

Yeah i actually like this idea a lot. Do that right after you call up the station with your name and address and where you will be bombing today.
Of fucking course not. Are you dense? Even the most brazen and least paranoid writer wouldnt make a fucking map of every place they have hit up....

It just depends on the style your rocking. Ive seen some of the big writers in my area use bars when peicing at the skatepark. Youll basicly use them for everything.

First one is good, but maybe shorten the top part of the P.
Lose the drips on the krump sketches. I never liked that pointy looking style, but that's my opinion. If you like it, it can be done well, take a look at some old revok pieces for an example.
I'd say stick with the straightletters more and get a real solid base with them. Learn how to manipulate bars better.

this should be in the toy blackbook thread anyway. And nah I don't have aim.
I mean learn which ways to bend the bars work best, and flow with which ever letters you are using.
This would have probs been asked before.
I brought some crunch paint a while ago and been using that. Just wondering what anyelse things of it compared to Ironlak or Montana. I dont have any of the Walmart stuff here ect as i dont live in America.

There might be silicone stuck in the straw. You can try banging the base on concrete and letting it sit over night.
Were you just tapping the can? Like the first spray with it?
It happened to me with a Piglet Pink by Molotow. Shook for 3 minutes. Sprayed a little silicone out and then stopped up. No caps would work. I let it sit and shook it for about 10 minutes the next day and it was fine.
Good luck.

10-19-2009, 01:17 AM
There's a straw inside the can that brings paint up from the bottom of the can to the valve and through the cap. The Molotow has silicone in the straw that sprays out white before paint comes out.
I've heard some people have to shake certain colors for like 10 minutes to get the best results.

Iv eused my flouresent yellow from montaga gold for an outline once and its randomly clogged 5 minuts after. like i could spray liek one second with each new cap before the CAN would clog not the cap.
And for unclogging caps you could 1. dont be a jew and buy new caps OR BUY GRAFFITI PAINT REMOVER AND SPRAY THAT THROUGH THEM AND THEN THEYLL BE LIKE NEW!
excuse the spelling and grammer my fingers are frozen from being outside.

10-19-2009, 07:31 PM
The guys at Art Primo told me they would send me another can if it didn't unclog. That's good business right there.
I'm not to sure about the painters touch being clogged up but I wouldn't worry as much cause the'yre easier to get your hands on. But it definately sucks cause it's a waste of a few dollars. :/

Your an idiot so now your gonna have to unclog them the basic way. Take a needle and heat it up with a lighter. when its hot put it inside the cap where the paint comes out... It might take abit of force to put in but thats just all the paint blocking the hole. Its fine if you make the hole abit wider just try to remove as much as you can with the needle and they should eventully be unclogged and your cap will be back to normal. the bigger the pin the more paint it will scrape out.

Oh i forgot the further you push the needle in and move it around when its hot the more paint youll get out and if you make the hole like super wide they wont ever get clogged again and your cap will be fine....
You can thank me later.

There has been a layup in the next town for about 6-7 months now and im not gonna paint it but im just wondering why its been there for so long. Like its not a small line of cars it takes about 10 minuts on the highway to drive its entire lenth before it curves off into the country and keeps on going. It seems more and more stuff just appering on it every time i pass by I'm just wondering why hasent it moved is there such thing as bait trains that cops leave places to catch writers?

We also had one of those sitting in the town nearby.
I live in a zero-graffiti area (other than me and a few homies, all of which I know).
And I highly doubt the cops would put a bait train out for us. Haven't been over there yet, but I'm certainly getting it before it leaves haha.
Know of any good graff books? I found a few and they seem legit, but I'm not sure if they're hella good or not. (Graffiti World, Bay Area Graffiti, Piecebook, Mission Muralismo).

Street Artist Sketchbook is really awesome. I don't have any damn money, so I had my library get it sent in from some school in California haha.
It was awesome though. Amazon has it for cheap - whatever you do, don't buy it from Barns and Noble. Its like $56 or something.

i paint trains regularly and at my layup there is a line of hoppers about 40 cars long and its been there for about 6 months.idk what the reason for them laying them up there for so long is but they are.only the individual rail company that lays them up there knows why so its a mystery.my guess is A.becuase of the down economy they havent been using as many cars as they used to so they are just leaving them there until they know what to do with them or B.the company that owns those cars is out of business and if thats the case you living near a graveyard which would suck haha.but more that likely its the former.dont trip fool its not a bait train.no one does that.but considering what youve said im guessin after a while it will be heated up becuase of all the toys.toys tend to do that to freight yards and layups haha.my advice is to stay off the freights until for a while anyways.until you get better yah know.

It's funny you say that. I was in the yard today.
Now, I have never ever seen a car I've hit up before after the time I've hit it. Most people here have said I'm gonna' get crossed out, laughed at and straight up covered up but...just so happens I did get to see a freight I hit.
I hit it early this summer. I don't know where it's been since but...
There was a big piece by some D30 guys. One of the pieces said 'WYSE' and there was a big character to the left of it, with its eyes popping out. There was a 'Part 1' and a 'Part 2'. I couldn't figure out what 'Part 2' was due to dark colors and low light. 'Part 1' was on the left of my piece and 'Part 2' to the right. Definately new. Fresh paint. And I would've remembered seeing a D30 crew hit before I hit the train. And I wouldn't have gotten' between the pieces.
And guess what? They didn't cross me out or cover me up. They left my shit as is and went around it completely. So there. :p

Why are there so many people that bitch over one can that doesent work. There are going to be defects, maybe thats why you found the can in the first place because it was broken.

If you could form a proper sentence then I could help you out. If you cant order your shit or buy it then srsly just hold off till you can legaly buy it or quit. Its really not that hard to buy paint even if its illeagle in your area there are still ways around it. Just off the top of my head go dumpster diving or take the train or bus to a graff shop or somewhere where they will sell it to you. Buy an airbrush kit and practice in your room, fuck or you could buy those pens you blow into the top into and paint come out the end.(REAL HEADS WILL KNOW WHAT IM TALKING BOOUT') There are tons of ways around this whole subject of... "yO GUIZ i cAnT f1Nd paint~cuz im broke and i HAVE A CRACked can but Theres StIll SOMe left in the cAP. HOW do I GET tHSAt SHIz!".
Get a job save your cash and buy paint or rack it. Simple as that.

Just write your name regularly with a chisel tip marker.
Don't worry about trying hard as fuck to make it look dope,
it's normally something that happens over time.
Once you get your natural flow down,
you'll be able to notice little things that could use minor (MINOR) changes.

first off stop wasting paper and invest in a dry erase board.the little ones you get at any store really.that way you can practice all day and not use all your paper up.next you wanna practice a normal script becuase it will help you get used to writing your shit down.get a feel for your letters an all.and get inspiration from other cats writes.check how they do their letters and learn from it.get the basic script down and then start to change it up until it looks more and more unique to you.and practice alot.its gonna take a while before your any good.so dont feel bad its like that for all of us.god you should see my old shit.hahaha.

Your already ahead of 75% of the new kids on here by having that mentality. Like Flawless said, handies are about lots and lots of practice and noticing those minor tweaks.

I have a question. So whenever I put a throwie up, it seems like it gets bigger to smaller, and my letters curve upward. So I write nems, the N is nice and big, then by the time I get to the S it's half the size of the N and in the middle of it. Is there a good way to prevent this? When I sketch it doesn't happen, but that's because I can see all the letters, so I guess when i'm doing my throw, since I can't see the letters I sorta loose it, any help?
EST2007
11-02-2009, 01:37 PM
use things on the surface to make a mental note of size, like using bricks or imperfections in the wall. also, use things that have a constant size to help gauge how big your letters should be. try using the can to map out how big to go (like then N is 6 cans wide, ect...) i also use arms length a lot to map out size
weakfingers
11-02-2009, 01:45 PM
Its not that hard on the wall because its so large scaled. Just look where your previouse letter is or maybe your not practicing your throw enough. I think proportion is a skill that takes time and practice. Somethings that I go with is.... space from the bottom/top of the wall, Lines on the brick. shadowns on the wall sometime help. Its more or less can control and practice.
provinT13
11-02-2009, 04:16 PM

It's just to sorta say you're the first to do that name, you're probably not, but the principle still stands. Or its to take up more space, of for different/more letters. But mostly people just do it because everyone else does. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

So, I want to change my name. I feel like the letters I have chosen are really hard for me to work with...and I don't particularly like the way I write ANY of them. I love the word, but I am ready to let it go for something I can develop better.
However, I've gotten up pretty hard in my hometown. I have some level of respect around here (even if I remain anonymous, I've heard the chatter.)
I don't want to change my name, and lose all I've worked at for so long.
How can I incorporate my new name into my old work, and maybe make a smooth transaction. Should I put some "AKA"s in my shit for a while?
Also - what to do with the old slaps?
Is it acceptable to write more than one thing? Is that OK?

So I just started writing a couple days ago.
So far i'm practicing making 3d block letters and reading about the graffiti culture/history 3-4 hours a day.
Couple questions.
What do you think a better name is? Refri or Efri? I'm kinda leaning towards Efri (pronounced uh-fry). Are there any legends or others with those names?
Once I got block letters perfect, should I just start to make adjustments into my tag one at a time as I see fit? Or maybe incorporate other peoples styles into my tag?

btw do you guys like the name "neon"? ive been writing for a few weeks, im definetely much better than when i started just because i know more about graff in general, but i still suck at shaky hands!
anyway it sucks trying to come up with a name, because thats what it looks, sounds, and what what people think of it.
i could always write more names...but that seems like waste of time practice wise...for now.
ive thought of things like
-satellite (sounds tight, pretty long though)
-future (what about the future? idk makes people think)
-Gasey
-Matt (risky...yes)
-Color (cool but seems too broad if you get me)
once again i could always just put a similiar tag or symbol next so people know its the same guy. or incorporate phrases to put along with it.

So I just started writing a couple days ago.
So far i'm practicing making 3d block letters and reading about the graffiti culture/history 3-4 hours a day.
Couple questions.
What do you think a better name is? Refri or Efri? I'm kinda leaning towards Efri (pronounced uh-fry). Are there any legends or others with those names?
Once I got block letters perfect, should I just start to make adjustments into my tag one at a time as I see fit? Or maybe incorporate other peoples styles into my tag?

Efri. It's original. It has a good ring.
Haha, that names sounds lame as hell man.
Atleast he's original. There's already a well established Earn. And you write Earn1? Now that's lame, homey.

where? the one in Florida?
That's close as fuck to me, dawg. :rolleyes:
I'm in the middle of a name change, anyways.
I don't understand your malfunction, kid.
You try hard as fuck to upset me or some shit any chance you get.
You know I don't give a fuck about anything you have to say, right?
I mean, if you were in my area, it might be an issue to get dealt with, but you aren't.
You are on the internet homie, so go kick rocks.
I'd also like to clarify that originality isn't everything.
If it sounds like shit then it doesn't matter how original it is.

To everyone on the last page (neon and refri whatever)
Is there someone near your area with the same name that can sit your ass down?
Yes: Change it
No: Just write it
Bottom line, NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU WRITE

Wasn't beefin'. Just saying.
Don't bash the poor kid when he's askin' for help. I really don't think you have the right to bash him considering you do infact write 'Earn1' and you are clearly not the first to write it. If you wrote 'Earn2' or 'Earn3', I wouldn't have had to set your pompous ass straight. Your name game is all fucked up. How you gonna' tell the kid he's lame?
Now go get some tissues. Wipe up them tears.
Good talk. See ya out there, champ.

Just try to be innovative. Draw something different. Draw different words or just draw something non-graffiti related. Looking at pictures sometimes helps.

11-19-2009, 04:32 PM
What usually help me is try to come-up with a new style just freestyle shit.
Switch up your routine. I find forcing myself to draw makes me draw horrible shit. Just do what your normally do and it will come back.

xSonnyTx

BUMP means that you are "bumping" a topic to the top of the page, which is organized by most recent activity -> least recent activity.
If someone sees an ill flick the "bump" it so it comes back up in the topic.
In the toy forums generally a "bump" is done because you got no feedback when you posted it so you're re-posting it.
In the big boy forums generally somethin's bumped cause, well, its dope and it deserves more views

haha question time. ok this is an interesting question. say you bite a style, but you keep it in your sketches and never paint it. over time you tweak it and change it until it no longer looks anything like the bitten style. you do thins only for practice and to broaden your range. is it still biting? is it still robbing some cats flavor? or is it taking influence?
Flawless Victory
11-23-2009, 11:26 PM
I personally think that people are influenced by other shit they see no matter what, even if they don't consciously realize it.
if you aren't copying letters, and are trying to tweak the style to the best of your ability, I see no problem with it.

when outlining pieces, the lines always seem frayed and messy. do you recommend using long, slow strokes, or short and fast? no metaphor intended
Bazer
11-24-2009, 12:25 AM
long stroke dude. and throw your lines man.
xSonnyTx
11-24-2009, 12:31 AM
short quick strokes are generally better for painting, cause the longer your finger's pushing the cap down the higher your chances of sitting for a second and having the paint drip.
Sketches go long. The slower you go the more shaky a line is in my personal experience

when youre doing your outline you need long strokes that go the same speed through the whole line so your line will stay the same thickness. the only reason you can get drips on your outline is because you're going to slow. the way to prevent that is by obviously going faster. as for this "sitting for a second" thing. that's when you take your finger off.
Fetusr
11-24-2009, 04:50 PM
I find that the best way to get clean lines is just not pressing very hard down on the cap, and doing quick lines. Also not taking the can away from the wall everytime you do a line helps the overall letter structure.

whats the difference between, satin, gloss, semi-gloss and flat, like i sorta get it, but isnt satin like fabric, wtf :P ?
EST2007
11-24-2009, 07:28 PM
satin and flat are basically the same; no shine.
semi-gloss logically is sorta shiny.
gloss is shiny.
