bust first tag on like.. the very end of 2004. didnt like think of it it at all 4 a couple months. my attitude was kinda like ya ya graffiti i got better shit 2 do. i mean i used 2 draw alott as a kid, but barely thought of graffiti. every now n then id be like now howw the fuck do they do that? n that was about it. started like.. absent mindedly drawing my tag, sketching n b4 i knew it i was fuckin hooked. (lots of drugs prolly played into me drawing alot) and now im so die hard into it. shits good though. if it wasnt for graff id be doin alot worse shit. definetly improved my life and made me a better person at that.

[What Happened to the Letters?]

code sucht, i think that was a joke and all youve psoted is one canvas and it was kinda wack so i wouldnt call the dude toy, its obvious hes toy cause he started a few days ago, but give him a fuckin break

[ShIfTeD]

stfu...toy

[Code_sucht]

My little brother painted it, obviously.... So perhaps you should research it before you say anything?

And the only canvas I remember is some street sign done with markers, it was a fuck around board, and I said it was wack as hell in the first place. like I said, it was a board I screwed around with. I didn&#39;t get serious with it because I wasn&#39;t going to keep the sign. I`ll post some things for you later on. Mkay buddy?




And lighten up with the posting, will you? Who the hell posts over 1000 times in less than a year? I don&#39;t even think Gesus has done that.


Sometime around June.. 2004. <_<

[THAT BOY DOWN THE BLOCK]

^hahaha you say that now

[PeeInTheShower]

lol ^ i started around the 7th grade, picked it up as a form of freedom expression, never been caught and never will

knock on wood my friend, knock on wood.

if you don't get caught in the act, your name will get heated soon enough. trust me. best way to prevent from getting caught is don't talk to anyone.

[WOMOR-TWH]

ah around 2006 in 8th grade. haha i tagged all around the walls in my school, a private catholic school, on my last day. and i tagged all these dumpsters nearby with some sharpie magnums my friend and i stole from the schools art room.

[skull-e]

lol ^ i started around the 7th grade, picked it up as a form of freedom expression, never been caught and never will

lol, you think you have the cops fooled and that you're sneaky as fuck, but you're gonna start hitting harder spots, street spots and eventually you're gonna be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[VaNdAL xBA!x]

true lol why would you say that like you really cant get caught
anyways started bout 3 years ago

[intifada]

i was already old when I started. I was 18. There wasnt anyone around me that was into it other than drug dealers and I fucking hate drugs and didnt want anything to do with those dudes.

[kigo]

Started in 96.stopped (with the exception of stickers, and marker tags) for about 2 years when I got married.Divorced that bitch, and Im making my way back now.Its the kind of thing that will always be a part of me regardless whether Im writing or not at the time I guess.

[Endzero]

I always thought it was cool and I always loved art and never tried it til like 4th or 5th grade but kept it on paper got into writing in 6th and stopped for a while in seventh then i just got addicted after end of seventh I realized how cool the whole community is and I lately always have this itch that I need to get a good spot or a clean tag somwhere its funny :rolleyes:

[bilal_tariq]

When the revelation came upon me...

'02, Vancouver, during algebra class or something I was bored and I was making names... in a funky way. I decided to call it, "graffiti".

[kigo]

usually when writers start talking about how they never been caught is when they get cocky, and slip up (at least most that ive met) careful with that bragging kid lol

[APE 352]

I started writing in 2005, and slowed down to an almost complete stop. By time 2008 came around I started up again. Still one of the biggest toys out there. Only way to see yourself to be honest.

[the.message]

i realized after i started writing, that i had a big interest in it without even knowing... like a year or 2 before i started "writing" i was drawing letters, and shit like that just fucking around... then my boy got me into it and my mind has never been the same... im going on 3 years of the actual writing though

[inpho_211]

9th grade..in october.. around 2007 i would fuck around with letters just bombing my nickname and when i changed my name to inpho..i really got into it..dont take it back at all..

[Backalley Abortion Doctor]

Holy shit, Graffiti has turned so gay, we identify ourselves as though we are all in highschool, instead of using actual dates.

2003, by the way.

[toop]

2006 me and 2 mates started but just tags and throwies wasn't until may 2012 that we started doing pieces and anything that got us seen

[lakim shabazz]

when you were born i shot out my mom dukes

[Junglizt]

I'd say about 4 months ago, Super Toy!!

[Snep]

Was into it since the age of about 10, at 11 I remember hitting public bathrooms and shit with sharpies haha. The rest, as they say, is history.

[Apse One]

Haha, initially, I painted in the McDonald's Play Place when i was like 7, with this bottle of green White-Out that i'd foud on the street.
I'd write or draw in restrooms, but not as an intentional part of a graffiti "career".
I starting drawing graffiti just for fun. It wasn't serious, i just doodled a lot. everyone doodles words a bit. I just found drawing words a little morefacinating. soon people in high school said stuff like "sick tags man" and "ever paint a train?"
When I was 21, I caught my gf cheating on me one night, but she never fessed up to it. So I broke up with her like a week later. That's when i started bombing and tagging. It actually made me feel a lot better. And I got good at it. So now it's helping me pay for college, occational car repairs, and stuff like that.

[KingPush]

06
i started but not for graffiti just because people always asked me to draw tattoos through highschool.
real bombing in 2008

[wolfgang2142]

The first time I went bombing, I was compltly disorganised I hadnt even drawn what I was gonna write or decided where. I was just walkingg down this street with my friend and we were such dumbasss cuz it was during the day. I tagged one wall in this alley and did another on the next building about 15 ft away. My friend was the worst fuckin look out. He didnt tell me when this dude started walking towards us until the guy was less than 10ft away. We both fuckin blitzed but it was in the winter in montreal and the ice was slippery as fuck so we both slipped and the dude tackled us. He held onto both of our shirts and took pictures of our tags and called the cops. It took them a fuckin hour to show up. We waited for an hour in the freeaing cold. I was 13 and didnt have any ID i look alot older than I am since im tall (14 and 6ft) and when the cops showed up they decideed they didnt have to speak english to me so when I fumbled around saying my birth day in french they got suspicious that I was lying. Luckily I didnt have any weed or a knife cuz they patted me down. they didnt even cuff us tho. Eventually they took us to the police station and after pretty much asking us all the same shit they asked when we were in the car they let us go with a warning and told our parents.
