LIfe After graffiti

[bigkingone]

so has anyone thought about there plans about what to do with them selfs after graffiti?

lately ive been thinking if its all worth it and i have decided for some reason it is.

the only thing left now is to make something out of my love for graffiti and jsut wondering if anyone else has thought of this?

i was thinking jobs such as:

signwriting
graphic design

[GeSuS_KRiST]

tatooing is what ive noticed most writers switch too besides urban marketing desing and finearts

[rise_&_fight]

starting your own paint or ink company and selling your 'fresh', 'revolutionary' products to toys.

[revolt92]

selling your artwork? worked for banksy

[Nem]

it sucks because i really love writing. and i really love music.

and i want to pursue a music career. but still write.

and i dont want writing to just slowly fade out of my life.

but i know that might happen if i get hardcore into the business.

damn.

[Derogatory9o5]

True... but banksy is truely talented..

[capo93]

[Derogatory9o5]

RANDY DID GRAFFITI? He is so much more awesome then he was before..

[shax44]

yeah, i wanna be a graphic designer!
serious

[rise_&_fight]

randy a writer? you know what i can imagine that!

[GAUGE]

what did fat joe write?

[Dr. Kazer]

Fat Joe wrote Crack.

[bOxcaR]

continue with my life with college and career
but ill still be painting for life.
no doubt

[GeSuS_KRiST]

randy was part of dos, yall could find out the rest for yourself, if people wanted there names known they would announce it, even in the videos why do u thing there a decent amount of graff in um sppecially dos ish (besides its one of the biggest richmond crew)

[GeSuS_KRiST]

you wont be painting for life, grow up man i hate when people say that shit

[sketch3]

yea,one sliped disk or pregnant bitch and bombing seems really fuckin dumb,

[FuLa]

I'll probably do what I do and have been doing...paint once in a while...if I do other shit I'll eventually think of graffiti again and apply whatever I've learned to it...then paint again and repeat...legals, tunnels...the occasional bombing, catching tags...etc. etc. but I won't dedicate my whole life in any instant to it, a month or weeks at a time most definitely.

[MainEvent]

dont really wanna think about it right now. im just getting started so i dont have plans to do anything except increase the amount im doing right now. but i sincerely doubt imma be pursuing a graffiti related career in 10-15 years.

[meetermaid]

my sentiments exactly. there are things in my life much more important to me than graffiti, but it's ubiquitous - i go shopping and critique the letters on storefronts and logos and shit. you really can't escape from graffiti.

[to apose gods and govts]

life after graff is the same thing as life after death

[bigkingone]

you also have to consider the conseqenses and how they will affect your futer becasue as some people tend to get casught alot some jobs will chek your record? and mabey even jail time

[EsKoNeR!!]

selling your artwork? worked for banksy
sorry. only read to this and had to reply.
yes it worked for banksy. how many thousands of stencil artists are there that it didnt work for?how many dozens of thousands of graffiti artists are there that it isnt working for.
i mean, not to rain on theparade, because "anything" is possible, but. the chances of that happening are so slimn. if that works for you, my hat is off to you sir, so good luck

[Forcene]

Wait a NY minute, Randy blythe did Graff? Ok, im probably the biggest fuckin LOG fan there is, and your tellin me the man is a graff fiend too?


I just came....... O.o


I'm researchin this shit, the man was my hero to begin with, as Conan o'brien said after their set on his show " Randy's voice can summon the demons of hell!!!!"

[-Saiko-]

I dunno about you guys, but when im 60 years old I'ma still be bombing placesin my wheelchair or crutches, It'll be hardcore :D

[shax44]

when you were the biggest fucking LOG fan there is, you would have known this

i think

[mas$]

i really want to get into clothes design, or graphic design, things where i can keep my graffiti style, but make money off the streets, im only 16 so i wanna get into that as soon as possible and keep writing at the same time..

[skech]

i plan on becoming a train conductor as soon as i graduate. its kinda bitter sweet really, first off i will get to be around graff my entire life. but on the other hand if i get caught painting a train before i get to that point it could kill my chances of getting a job on the railroad

Dude, ur gonna make shit all money and yahh... lol

[Ra.]

I'm just getting into graffiti. But, I'll probably do it as long as I find it enjoyable and I really don't see the fun fading soon.

[toke_wdc]

start my own graffiti shop to influence younger writers.

[Forcene]

when you were the biggest fucking LOG fan there is, you would have known this

i think

Biggest LOG fan, not Randy fan. :/

[shax44]

[Snuff]

[skech]

Dude, ur gonna make shit all money and yahh... lol

[RemoZ]

I'm majoring in Criminal Justice at the moment.

Either gonna be a state Trooper or Probation Officer.

Kind of Ironic I guess, IDK.

[nero122]

probs graffix design or tattoing maby try my hand at beatboxing but i dont really wanna get old.

[evade]

[scoot]

im hopefully becomming a film producer

[killtheugly]

jail

[Slushi]

I used to want to become a film producer because I had tons of ideas for movies.
Before that I wanted to be a graphic designer becaus ei was good with photoshop. Then I wanted to be a cartoonist. I think I still wanna be a cartoonist.

[killtheugly]

^^^

its hard to make it as a cartoonist but if you do, it'd be so sweet.

i could doodle for a living. if u want a example of a good cartoon cuz i dunno if youre talking about the retard meathead spandex bullshit or quality cartoons, check out calvin and hobbes. bill watterson is a fucken genius

[Blame!]

im going into film for directing but theres no life after graffiti. graffiti is eternal.

[killtheugly]

chances are you'll probably quit

[sketch3]

im going into film for directing but theres no life after graffiti. graffiti is eternal.

yea sure mate,

[Lucas]

There is no life after graffiti it's like crack you can quit but the craving for graff will always stay with you.

[RaydBGK]

I'll always be writing one way or another. I got into graff because I had hit a mental block with my written word stuff, so this gave me another outlet involving words.

[Skesh]

what did randy blythe (lead of lamb of god) write?!I heard he writes Ja
..:eek:

[Dr. Kazer]

I heard that's the most retarded thing I've heard all day next to some kid claiming to rack a bombers pack from a delivery truck. lol

[CIFILONE]

[killtheugly]

[ODonthesetrees]

i dont think theres more than 10 people in this sites history that should be or will be pursuing graffiti 10 years down teh road...i know i wont, itll always be something i look at differently, but im not gunna be out bombing after college, and risk ruining my future career acomplishments for vandalism charges on my record

[Kareem]

www.itshiphop.tv is redoing its site for august and is looking for tight graf vids. if you have anything interesting (writers in action, interviews, festivals), send them to info@itshiphop.tv (u can use www.sendspace.com, www.yousendit.com, etc). The vids will be showcased in a new channel on the site.

[allcitybomber]

i dont plan on quitting. like i think there will be a time where i dont go bombing any more. or dont paint anymore. but i think when i "retire" i might open up a graffiti shop and see what happens.
might start a company making merchandise or something. i dont know i will see what the market is like then and decide if it is worth while to persue.

[Snuff]

fuck that. ima tag til im dead.. ha ill be in books for being the oldest tagger alive cause everyone else quit. or died =]

[Relish]

this site is sooo confusing... tell me how to upload pics.



chheers to beers

[dreddysocks]

ill probably just start painting fuck loads of legal walls when i get older

[.jug.]

smoke pot, and buy paint for underage writers or just die in jail?

[coser1]

yeh... i dont think ill ever stop graff

[Flash_One]

fuck that. ima tag til im dead.. ha ill be in books for being the oldest tagger alive cause everyone else quit. or died =]
yeah...sure. When i get older ill do legal wals and murals n shit i imagine for pas time and maybe open a graff shop or something. :confused:

[nero122]

meh im hoping to carry on when im in my 30's early 40's but ill be catchin bombs but not nesaserily pieces till i die not sayin im a life long graff super king haha but yh i meen theres no reason to stop so w/e

[sketch3]

well i immagen when you have a wife and kids sneaking out in the early hours, breaking into yards and scaling walls just to paint wont seem as important as paying the bills, but theres no reason to stop sketching, if you keep developing youd be a master by the age of 90, make a fuckload of canveses

[nero122]

haha pretty much the girl im with now is the one i wanna marry n have kids with n she doesnt mind it plus i got a good few job opyions lined up through friends dads n so on but like i said bombing is more or less easy if you got the skills lol

[mas$]

hey how old are ya nero?

and like these writers i know, after they hit 28ish they gave up most illegal shit and opened a store, now they just paint thier old walls and shit like that(but thats also cus they legends in thier scene)

[nero122]

15 almost >_< but i want kids when im 20

[rekon]

man who knows aye its so apart of me now i always used to ask my friends about videos games we played n how we raised our stats n shit now its yo wat up man u smoke that ganja ? oh and bro wana go paint tonite? lets check your new throwie! and thats wat its like all the time all its is when we hang is about graffiti girls and getting food
i guess ill stop when it fades out ... idk ive only been writing 5 months and already i think about it so much for no reason really , just like remembering the peices n tags throw ups n shit ive seen lately thinking of wat kinda action they did when doing that who the person is behind it and shit like that i wana say ill paint till the day my kidneys dont work no more cause ive inhaled to aersol much but yea its an addiction for sure and you wont stop the addiction until you stop it or someone stop you? but fuck man we writers no one can stop us :D

[DephOne]

i have large tits

[0lick]

i think ill try to quit once i get enough charges...but then one day ill be walkin down the street and go "i used to do that." then ill go..."they fuckin suck i kno im better" and by this time in prolly in my 25's n ill just say fuck it i want those old times back again....and then i start graffin up the place again...but then ill get alot of charges or get married or what not. i think graffit will turn off n on in my life.

[LuStErOcKs]

most people dotn quit when they get older, they do legals....

look at cope -__-;; hes more legal then illegal

[nero122]

yh but the rush you get is awsome you know when your up 100 ft or so hangin over a bridge on a busted railing knowing you could die that is what i love about graff that and when you finish a piece n walk past it n ppl are like shit who did that n when even if your a toy you got a bit of skills n the lil toys look up to you it makes you realise you are alive n that you have some kind of influence on the next generation

[toxus]

yeh... i dont think ill ever stop graff

You will.

I thought the same 3 years ago.... Look at me now.

[Hidden Teknique]

Life after graffiti, hmmm i won't have one

[-GEKS-]

either you mean you're going to die while doing graffiti
or you're lieing everyone is gonna quit graff eventually

[Reinone]

gonna be architect or somehing related to art...painter or something that i could expres myself

[RUDE_Bwoy]

own a graff store or maybe start a graff mag.but for now its all graff
