Yupp, I face the truth before I post anything, I wanted to stick with Giant because it fits me, but it's taken by a well known writer

. I'm getting paid tonight so I will be getting a plywood board and just bombing the heck out of it soon with some 97 Cent paint for practice. Thanks for the feed back so fast Viruz.

My canvas is only 16 bucks and its to practice on to get known. We have 3 spots down here but I'm too scared to start going underground yet with gettin ripped up for being so bad.

dont worry about it, just dont go over anyone's stuff if you can't burn it. so... don't go over anyone's stuff.

i went under a bridge today, it was mega chill until some kid rode by on a lawnmower. didnt take me long to realize that my can control is terrible. i'll post some pics later.

picture quality bums me out. oh well. i'm hitting the books. letters need much improvement.

**Flawless Victory** · 09-13-2010 09:22 PM

you plan on painting a canvas to get known? what?

**BlacktodaFuture** · 09-13-2010 09:48 PM

he's buying plywood to practice on in his backyard so he doesn't embrass himself in front of real writer at a spot. not a canvas...

Thanks for clarifying it since I wasn't on my computer.
Yeah, I'm buying cheap spray paint and just a plywood board to get the flow of can control etc down before I go to my local spot.

left to right. hold it steady. cheap cans like that tend to drip more anyway. and even if you are practicing throws try going back and cleaning it up by doing cuts. and take your time, you are doing plyboard who cares if you spend an hour doing a throw, you will get better over time. oh, and hit the books, HARD.

p.s. don't write giant.

**FuckTheFame** · 09-13-2010 10:12 PM

crits?

KNO - try to work on the 3d. and add some more structure to your letters
giant - maybe try some blackbooking before buying a ton of paint? i guess since its plywood its not horrible but its easier when you begin to have a sketch of what your going to paint so you have something to look off of. and dollar silvers are bomb for fills

By hit the books hard you mean blackbook correct? and yeah, I stopped writing it because I did research on the name. I'm still trying to decide on a name :/ hard to find a generic name.

write whatever the fuck you want man
who are you doing graffiti for?
to please all these people or for yourself?

**Fury** · 09-14-2010 12:12 AM

If there are any actual writers in your town and they look at your name, they'll probably cross your shit out, no matter how good you are. If there isn't a legend or someone in your town writing what you wanna write, then do it.

And don't worry about 3D or any of those effects, just work on a name and do throws and get used to spray painting first.

yeah kid listen to him, write giant. youll be the coolest kid evar!

**weakfingers** · 09-14-2010 03:22 PM

You have the right idea, Just stay in the books and learn the basics,Start lurking your hood for small spots, I wouldn't suggest going to a big spot to paint because even if you might think its an empty space you might clip a bigger writer or go over some super old tag or throw you might not have seen from someone bigger or someone who might have passed away. Learn the basics and pick and choose where you paint wisely, What Im just trying to say is dont try to be "the shit" painting everywhere when you just start out, You gotta put in your time and work your way up slowly.
