brothers and sisters,

fame is for museums, galleries and high school art shows

the crimson curse digs the grafitti art because it lacks the pretention of "famous" art

the crimson curse sprays for himself and for the enjoyment of his art by his brother and sister graffartists

not for fame

brother panic, fame is not more important than life, otherwise you'd just tag your name and address

maus1985 sprays to provide color to the gray streets, and create landscapes where there are only bricks

fame is shit

all my love, the crimson curse

We have this abandond hallway in our school(it's really a fire exit) and i'd bomb the shit out of it with markers, and mops. so they put camera's in to "combat the graffiti problem".......that not fame......fuck this small town life.

haha ive risked my life for fame.. but more like for personnal pride also... then again fame is jsut an ego booster therefore relied with pride.

why climb to hard spots etc if its not for fame or pride... why take the illegal risks... i duno most ppl do graff in part for fame.

whats the thing bout calling ppl toys n saying their not up n making a big houppla over it if its not bout fame?

wtf else am i doing all this for? i dont give a shit about art...i just want to have fun and get up while im at it...i have no life except for school and graffiti...all i do is go to school, eat, sleep, and write..i have no other hobbies....basically graffiti is my life...everything i do has to do with graffiti

GRADES-i work hard for good grades, so i can go write that night
bombingscience-i go on here to talk to other writers-which has to do with graffiti
computer-i have it so i can look at other writers work, talk to other writers, and post my work
sketchbooks-to draw, and practice my graffiti

i cant think of anything i do that doesnt have some connection to graffiti

Alot of people say they aren't in it for fame, but I dunno, if you're hitting up street spots and whatnot, you are at least partially in it for fame, otherwise you'd be hitting the insides of abandoned buildings and canvasses. Alot of people are afraid to admit to wanting fame, and wanting to be known, but hey that's how some people are.

I for one am in to graffiti for many reasons.
1)Art
2)Fame
3)Rush
4)Traveling
5)Meeting Other Writers

So what if it's an ego boost, fuck is so wrong with that?

And to answer your question. I'd risk everything for fame. I've risked my life many many times. Fame is longer lasting than life, and more important....and getting up with style is my main thang, plus you get a nice rush when you know you can die doing something, but at the same time know that it's worth it cause other people will see it and be like "Whoa".

I'd risk my life,
Freedom,
and Future for fame.

Yeah I think I'm deffinitley obbsesed. For me the reason I do it is for the enjoyment and the satisfaction and the fame. I just love the feeling of people seeing something and saying "wow there's that tag or bomb again and it's really cool and saying like there it is again he was here, I wonder who it was or wow how'd he get up there and not get caught", stuff like that when you can be known by art and the mystery behind it.

LOSTxTHExFAITH
01-13-2005, 01:43 AM
nevertheless, here's my thoughts on the topic..
:::Takes deep breath::
Let me first start out by saying for the most part, this is a redundant topic to have on a "graffiti forum" which thrives off of self promotion. Of course you all WANT and WISH you were famous. Why else would you whore your work and opinions on the Internet which carries stigmas amongst a lot of heads for this very reason. Out of all the petty ways to get fame, this is the most frowned upon for good reasons. Anyways not to go off on a tangent about that.. I think there are so many different genres of fame Do writers put in work for fame amongst those they don't have to expound too, like peers within the culture. Surely we do. It's a coded language amongst society's most bourgeois scamp individuals. But at the same time, say a stencil degrading are nations leader Dubya, could be interpreted out side the initial demographic of "writers" for obvious reasons. It really boils down to what the aim's of the writer him or her self are looking to achieve and what they find to them is the most self gratification. But what really is fame..?.. Going back to what Evak was saying.. It's not so much what your doing in life, but the legacy you leave for the life of others. Fame is composed of the sciolism of keeping people guessing. Graffiti is one of the few mediums left that you can literally distort reality. You take a wall, it's one of four. It's been the same day after day after day. Till one day it's altered by that antics of "MAN".. Something mad made, challenged by another mans artifice which is his over all critique on the limits and boundaries of life how he/she breaths it. Fame almost has a hint of allegory to it. On one hand it's like oh this person is famous. So we pounder over all that person has done, but never take the time to question if it was that persons initial purpose to be "famous"... Even if a person achieves being "famous" that is solely the opinions of a third party. And that's REAL. Writers know there famous when kids are jocking there work and blundering it into a fabricated, regurgitated all for what... Their own fame..?.. I can't perscribe or assent that people should take part in this lifestyle for fame.. Cause you won't know if you had your 15 minutes till the clock already stopped ticking...

fame is definately not my sole reason for doin graff, but it is surely some part of it. If we weren't looking for fame, we wouldn't tag, and do throw ups, and pieces in public places. If we were doing it for the love of art, we'd sketch in our blackbooks, maybe a mural on our wall in our room. but why do people hit up public places if theyre not looking for fame? You may not tag only 2 get fame, but if you think about it, it is the main reason. I tag so that other writers kno im up and out there, and i havnt stopped. Other people may tag just for the fuck of it, but we are all looking for fame somehow. This is especially true for idiots that tag stupid shit, like joe was here. To me, this just shows how selfish and arrogant they are....they want every1 to acknowledge that joe was here, withouth earning any credibilty. Now if this were handstyled, i really wouldn't care. Anyone can simply write their name. But it takes skill to tag, and i think that we should appreciate their skill, and not just cross out any competition. sorry 4 goin off topic, but neways, fame is the main reason people graff.

brothers and sisters,

the crimson curse hears you, but he says it like this:

i don't want personal fame, i don't want people to know me, shit i don't even care if people see Maus1985 thrown up in their city, its about the presentation of my graff within the setting that its placed,

to graff on a wall in the city adds to the city, not to my ego, it adds to how visitors to that place will remember that city, i just want people to remember that the graffitti in that setting enriched their visit, i don't care if its your work or mine.

I love graff because, when people see a building they see bricks and metal, but when its covered in graffitti they are forced to think about us, the people that live there and the kind of shit we are about. It promotes thougt and adds depth to the environment.

I know some kats like to scrawl their tag someplace and see it like an "i was here" statement, and that's cool for them if thats what they want, but i don't graff for fame or status, i do it cause it explains something about you kids and me, we aren't just bricks and metal, we've got depth and color.

all my love, the crimson curse

I dont fawn over fame..... Because I really dont want to be famous in the eyes of corprate America. Because thats when you sell out more than 71.26779% of the time. Not everybody does but alot of people do. With fame comes money and with money comes joy, but not contentness. I just want to be content with my life.

I don't agree with you Rebus on this line: "I can't perscribe or assent that people should take part in this lifestyle for fame.. Cause you won't know if you had your 15 minutes till the clock already stopped ticking..."



.........

Many famous writers are still alive today, and still destroying...unless of course you mean to say that if you risk your life for fame and die, then you won't be able to appreciate the fame because you will already be dead....but even so, it's not about being able to soak in the fame, it's about leaving your mark/getting up as suffeciently enough so you can be written in the history books.

LOSTxTHExFAITH
01-13-2005, 03:59 PM
Nah, what I meant was, look at the ratio of writers who die and then get "famous"... With exceptions like Nace, Dondi, Ayer.. But then you have people like say Bore or Over, even Zuel whose names were foreign to the graffiti population as a whole outside the place they resided, untill it was the "late"bore, or the "late"Zuel... Really, not trying to degrade anyone of them.. But on the scale of "fame" their certainly better well known after they have passed on in the physical.. All the people who put in work and accidentally got famous. <~~~~ I know I will probably get a slew of replys about how majority of graff writers paint for fame.. Blah blah.. But the reality is, you can't second guess what guote unquote famous writers aims are untill you've met them and talked to them.. Most writers are really humble about their work. Some are overly confident. In all honesty I think the moment a writer acknowledges he's/she's famous that's when their career ends. Look at certain videos that drop. Like the Cope video, how pompous and vain of a mother fucker do you have to be to agree to making a video because outside parties think your famous. And then the product of that. It goes to your head... You make a video divulging your spots. Next month. Your sporting some matching wrist jewelry... And I only use Cope an example... Nothing personal. I guess that's where we differ at Evak, you paint for fame.. You would "die" for fame. I look at fame as a bonus to doing something I would be doing anyways for the same reasons I started to years ago..

I don't think that this is a one sided issue. Some days we go out for fame, some for the artistic endeavor. The only thing that I can hold to the highest standard is that I go out for me and no one else. I paint for my own reasons. I'm not risking anything for any one else, only me.

01-15-2005, 07:43 AM
All you really saying that you paint for the love of it, not for fame, then by my calculations you wouldn't adopt a name to write over and over again, if it was about the art then you wouldn't be doing all different words. Because the reason for adopting a name is so people recognize your stuff like oh thats so and so he is up heaps, graffiti i think is a bit of an ego thing saying hey look at me, but there are other side with people who have very good skill and want to be noticed but really thats an ego thing aswell ' oh look at me im so peachy keen with a can' so you guys saying 'oh yeah i paint cause i like it not to be noticed ( i.e. famous) to you i say paint your house and your backyard fence where no one will see it after all you do it because you love it not for it too be seen and for you to become famous, does fame really not play a part in why you paint?

fame isnt my main concern, but it is a part of why i do it in a sence. i really like well placed things and really heat sots where lots of people will see it. but i do that so alot of people can see it, not necessarily other writers.

yeah i'm not going to risk my life if it's a high risk becuase then for me reality sets in and I seriously question weather it's worth it. For me I mainly do graffiti becuase it's fun and to show the world my art and my skill. I don't really like the sneaking around part all the time not beause it's not fun, but becuase of the possible consequences.

01-17-2005, 08:54 AM
see i guess im an oddball cause my favorite part of writing is the mission to get to a spot, like climbing old fire escapes and rusted ladders and walking along edges 4 stories up to hit a dope rooftop.
but shit can go wrong, like falling from 30 feet up onto your friends shoulder and breaking all the beer in your backback and fucking up your leg so you cant walk.
but just the rush of having to climb up 40 ft high water poles to get onto a roof and doing a throw while you can see a paddy waggon only half a block down the street investigating a robbery and watching the cops walk around as your paint
thats the best part for me

"awesome"ONE
01-17-2005, 03:36 PM
Yeah climbing things to get on roofs and stuff would be fun. But you could also injure yourself really badly and stuff or get shot for being mistaken for a robber.

Alot of writers don't wan't fame, they just want people to see thier art...that's way different then wanting everyone to know who you are. So people can hit the streets without wanting fame.

But I for one want fame, I want to be known, and at the same time I want to be up in style. I'm not in this only for fame though, I'm in it for all the adventures I go on, all the road trips, all the homies, the art, the rush....everything! Graffiti is everything to me.

See... Think about what Evaker said..
Having others see your work is one thing. It's only fame amongst a certain group of people.

OR the alternative...
Throwing on some plastic titties and doing the covers of Import racing maggs, and being "the best female deejay" Self proclaimed Im sure.

Or better yet. Doing Scion advertisments... Or Snoop dog videos.
HAHAHA...

If you want to be a famous graffiti writer. Be a famous graff writer and stay anonymous, but for some that's not good enough... You have to exploit a culture that has treated you so well, to have given you fame amongst company like your self and inturn go on a paper chase. I'm all for making ends meet in a medium that is of interest to a person if thats possible. But it's hard to make ends meet in a manner that is justified. Hence the phrase. "The ends sha'll justify the means" -Malcom X But what did he know..
