Is your name suppose to mean anything? does it have any connection to your actual name? or is it some random name you like the sound of? does it have a message in it? something serious, not so serious, etc

so basically just explain what your name is and why you chose it. The name you spray that is, don't need your real name.

Thanks

edit by baze (please read before posting something stupid.):

It's a simple thread.
-Nobody is telling you that you HAVE to post in here.
-If you're SCARED of the internet then get off.
-If you DON'T like the fact that graffiti writers are on the internet instead of the streets meeting eachother, then get off this web site because you're a part of the problem.
-If you say the wrong thing that leads to your arrest then you're a fucking moron. Watch your mouth and you'll be fine.
-Not everyone in this thread paints, thats why it doesn't matter to them.
-Also, not every cop is looking for your toy asses so quit being pussies.

Once'
08-09-2008, 08:06 PM
i chose once as my name for once i've learned and practiced more (not nearly to the point where i can actually say its my graff name)

i got this from my digital art stuff that i do actually, put all my pictures on a page together and asked my friend what word came to mind first, and he said once and in my head i jsut always think about that when i make new pieces and stuff

so i guess it just has a lil personal meanin behind it

Vagrant
08-12-2008, 05:07 PM
va-grant
noun

1. a person who wanders about idly and has no permanent home or employment; vagabond; tramp.
2. Law. an idle person without visible means of support, as a tramp or beggar.
3. a person who wanders from place to place; wanderer; rover.
4. wandering idly without a permanent home or employment; living in vagabondage: vagrant beggars.
5. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a vagrant: the vagrant life.

Describes me mentally more than physically. Although I do believe vagrants to live the ideal life in this modern civilization.
And I have been an actual vagrant before. Hopefully one day I an live in vagrancy again. For now I'm stuck in working middle-class though

first i was rank but then i found out that was taken. then i wrote case until i found out that was taken too so then i went for about a week still writin rank barely writin case then i somehow came across the name leak an since my fav letter to draw is S then i jus put leaks an stayed with that. it doesnt mean anything at all tho. jus a clever little name i wanted to write

Cesk
08-12-2008, 06:57 PM
Cesk, I dont know I was thinking of the soap Zest. So Cesk came to mind, and since it had a k (my favourite letter to draw) it was a great name imo. Haha.

VoyR
08-12-2008, 11:18 PM
I write Voyr, sometimes i put an E in it, So either Voyer or Voyr. :P but it means one who gains sexual satisfaction from watching others undressing or engage in sexual acts (its actually spelled Voyeur). :p I picked it because Its got the connotation of being stealthy and doing things with out people knowing. Which applies nicely to what we do as writers. :p

08-19-2008, 02:55 PM
I write Subconscious (I forgot the second 's' when I made my account) because most of my work has lots of underlying meanings and subtle messages. It really taps into your subconscious when you look at or read my work, or at least that is what I try to do.

I wrote "rx-mark" as in perscription graffiti but when my parents found out I did it, I had to switch it up so now it's "kramxr."
I'd say win
I also do "kilroy was here" and "bozo texino" every now and then. Just to keep those cats alive.

Queezy
08-20-2008, 02:58 AM
I write queezy, and I got the name cause my last name starts with a Q so my friends started calling me that before I wrote. But it still relates after cause when I go out and bomb and see a cop or cars from a spot, I get a queezy feeling in my stomach. In a good and exciting way though.

Skys, Sky, Skie, Skies.
After having a few other names, they just didn't work out,
the cops new who Abuse was, Krypt just wasn't for me and neither was Aches.
After family feuds, alot of shit was going on with family, school and friends.
I stayed strong though it all, by telling myself, "don't worry, look up at the skies, calm down, stay strong, and wait for the sunny days that lay ahead".
and that's where my name came from, it's kinda like a reminder through life.

All of these except #1

also when I first started getting into graff police raided my house(not graff related) and it was a good thing they came when they did cause if they came a day earlier or later Id of been locked up for a few years+.
Also the Oakland raiders have been my favorite football team(Yes Im aware of how much the blow) ever since I was young, theres just something about how grimey(sp) Oakland is that turned me on to the raiders.

There are more reasons I chose the word but this site is incriminating enough, so all other reasons will be kept to me and my closest homies.

While taking care of a kid we drew a monster and I asked her what the monster's name was, she said NSTER. The name was a combination of my name (Nigel) and her name (Ster, only saying first 4 letters). Remembering that time I came up with nser because I thought it was a cool way of a short form of 'answer' plus it matched the NSter name so heh. nser.

synps is synapse with out the vowels. Synapses are the nerve impulses that are sent from your nerves to your brain so you can feel. I just liked the word more than the meaning.

I then chose it as my name to write. Before that I was writing a different name every week (in my blackbook of corse) trying out different letters n stuff. I've now been with this name for about 4 months and will prolly stick with it. Lots of nice negative space to work with.

GOAT, GOAT PD, GOAT PD 403,

The idea behind GOAT, started because it was the name of a character from an old MTV show called Downtown. And it used to be one of my favorites. And it's the entire reason I got into Graff. The one episode had a dude named Matt all stoked because the train cars were down for the night, and so he (tries) to ditch his friends to go and bomb the cars. And it pretty much all meant a lot to me, as lame as it sounds, and everything they were doing with Graff in the show, pretty much sparked my interest. And that was about nine or ten years ago.

Goat PD is for whenever I write outside of my own neck of the woods, It's the initials of my current neighborhood, which is the same one I grew up in, and first started in. So this area means a lot to me, which is why I chose to add PD to my name, because it sort of is my "Crown without a Crown", in a sense. Because I always rep my little Kingdom.

Goat PD 403 is for whenever I write out of my City. 403 Is our telephone area-code. It lets the savvy figure out where I'm from, when I write cross country.

I use to suck when i first started writing. I wrote Base and when i started painting with a crew who was much better than me I came up with the name. Mostly it was to humble myself.

so now whenever i write my name it helps me realize theres always gonna be people better than me at painting. ha I'm lame

i write Spades (like the suit) and the number i write next reflects how i felt at that moment for eg. Spades1, Spades2, depends on what mood im in...i guess its kinda complex....but i like it like that.:

Descriptions of the Suit of Spades
Two - Signifies change. For instance, the feeling of walking in one direction then suddenly you take a step in another direction and continue on from there. This card deals with a definite, decided change of course in readings.
Three - Signifies routine matters and unexpected events. The feeling of running into somebody at the store you haven't seen for a long time.This is one of the more neutral cards in the deck. It is generally a pleasant card and the other cards around it provide the emotion.
Four -Indicates illness or depression. The card cautions you about health and mental state. It's a depressing, gloomy, unhealthy card.
Five - Signifies anger, as in red hot anger. Imagine a forest being burned down. Sometimes a good clearing is needed for new growth.
Six - Signifies caution, most of the time. This card is a warning to proceed slowly, hold back, keep certain emotions in reserve. Some of the time, it indicates pregnancy.
Seven – Signifies deep loss; something that will be deeply grieved.
Eight - Signifies tears. Imagine tears of pity, self-pity, sorrow, crying, etc. Also can be cleansing, comforting, healing tears.
Nine – Signifies intense grief and anguish, feeling of mourning. The period of longing for what can't be brought back. Unresolved heartaches.
Ten - Indicates a journey.
Jack - Represents a male, young in age or "spirit", having dark hair and eyes. Usually intellectual rather than emotional in how he views the world, he seeks justice and is judgmental by nature.
Queen - Represents a female, dark hair and eyes.
King - Represents a male, older in age or "spirit", having dark hair and eyes. Trust his guidance, he has insight to help you find direction.
Ace - 1) When the Apex or point of the Spade points up in the reading it means a conclusion, an ending. Considered the Death Card, meaning the death of circumstances, not people, 90% of the time. Remember, with death, there is always a new beginning. Death in reading cards is a door offering a new beginning. 2) Apex pointing down: The card is telling you about someone or something at a distance, not in this location, usually quite far away.
Suit of Spades Personality Traits: Analytical, truth-seeking, logical by nature. These individuals are driven by their minds, not their hearts. They are, therefore, not especially emotionally-inclined. Spades people make excellent judges, lawyers, dealers of justice. They also can be difficult to get along with, so caught up in right and wrong


When i saw this list i decided to write spades to express my many moods that im in...

Rots means something similar to "snot" in German. It's what I write when I'm too lazy to write "Roten" which means "Red" in German. Pronounced "Rotten," and if you know me at all, it's not too fucking hard to figure out why I write that.

sè, pronounced "say"...used to write seft, i was bombin SE around and its a pretty common letter combo so i put an accent over the e one day as a joke and then i guess it stuck. plus then i can write stuff after it. ie: "sè what?!", "i sè youre a fag", etc. i've considered write pè around too as in "fuck you pè me" type shit or whatever else my simplistic brain can shit out.

I happen to write alien.
The reason for this is because, My head looks like a fucking aliens head.
I get it ALL THE TIME,
I even fucked a bitch, then got told i looked like an alien by her.
So i decided one day,
Might aswell put it to use.
