    Can someone explain to me how esnet1r is winning this? Don't get me wrong I've seen some of his other work and it is dope.. But this isn't. Every letter apart the 'N' is missing the drop shadow, every letter is capital except for the 'i' why? and the arrows are shit?

    Like i said esnet1r some of your work is awesome but what are people seeing in this? Where is the continuity? Where is the structure?

    I was going to say, "who do you think should be winning?" Then I realized your name was on the poll. Nice self vote ;)

    Course I voted for myself. Isn't self promotion one of the basic elements of graffiti??

    Am I wrong about what I said in my last post? You think he should win right? Explain it to me? If it is better it is better, but I just don't see it. I just want someone to explain how they see it differently? I would take both the handstyle and the throwie over it.

    Everyone has a personal taste and opinion. What you find 'amazing' others might find 'whack' and vice versa. You shouldn't take everything to heart.

    I personally feel Tense's rushed entry is much better than any of the others. Bilnek's handstyle isn't very good. Destroy the Truth's throwie [I'm not a big throwie guy by the way] doesn't seem to be very good, either. As a matter of fact, I'd say he was dead last. Your's, well, it's just fat regular letters and I decided that with my vote, I would vote for whom I thought was superior.

    Chill out, guy. Honestly, losing to Tense isn't bad. The guy is talented.

    Fair enough, sorry if I made it out that I was a burning because I was losing. Like I said I think Tense has some serious style i've seen some of his other battles and he has crazy talent. I just can't see it in this sketch. True enough my sketch was simple as and to be honest I though there would be some much better sketches submitted. I just wanted to understand how you see his sketch, as to me I saw the obvious flaws that I mentioned.

    But it is all good. Anyway Tense no disrespect to you, I normally love your work, and I hope I didn't come off as to much of a whingie bitch :p

    LOL.. Fair enough.

    You can see you just put pen to paper real fast on it.

    BTW.. The sketch you did for the Block battle was fucking insane.

    Smesta's is boringg, and too simple and easy to do. He drew a bunch of straight lines and colored them. it has absolutely no style whatsoever. That's why I voted Tenser.

    tenser for the win.

    the first one was boring, noone wants to look at how nicely you can trace a font.

    the other two were clearly quite shit.
