the best advice.... fuck otheer writers. go paint maybe if u have friends that are artistic, push them into it. thats what i have done in the past. oher writers usually only give a fuck about themselves. thats why we write.
its not like its a club where people just join in. most crews are made up of people who are friends and write and they grow larger over time when they meet new people. how do they meet new people? just like anyone else. graffiti is for hobbistys (sp?) like anyone with a hobbie they tend to meet people that share the common ground by going to places that have an abundance of whatever there looking for. you wanna meet writers? go to a legal wall, a graff jam, a messageboard. not everyone will be to down to just go chill with you right off the bat and put you in there crew. most of the time i've met other writers through friends who also write.
What I do, is go over their pieces with bombs... and then leave my contact info on the bottom.. specifically letting cops and fat chicks know to keep away...
ya really but usually the kids who call you a toy are worse then you dont worry about it i meen hit me up on aim sn is harleypcooper or just meet people on the forumms.......thats what i do
The best ways I think to find other writers is to find local threads in your neighborhood or hang around graff spots in the daytime or nighttime.. how I found a group of taggers was I asked bums around the area if they had ever seen people graffing around here and they would tell me the times that they were usually around.. I like tagging alone though because there is more of a rush and plus its the only time I dont have to share my weed with everyone.
it helps to make it clear to everyone who writes that you write. at school, throw down a tag on the white board from time to time, allow your fingers to get a little paint on them. spend ur class time drawing. ussually they will approach you, and ussually no one else can tell
yo be careful wit that throwing up a tag on the white board at school, schools can be sketchy. mines got a state trooper who wrks there, his own office and shit. its wack, just dont be droppin tags in school in front of everyone, letting them knwo u write.
Werd. I write in my notebooks and that's nearly gotten me booked, i don't dare think about writing anything in sight of teachers. I wouldn't reccomend leaving your tag around school. There is some thread around about tagging your school, read it and you'll understand. Tons of doodling on school walls but you throw up one tag in the corner of all the doodling, then suddenly your school cracks down on graffiti. Or you bomb a school that's not even yours, the entire ward or district gets investigated. The problem doesn't only deal with you, you tag your school and you heat out other writers.
