I think we can pretty unanimously call the winner @Alephantone Pick the next word, homie. And just for the sake of consistency, we'll keep the deadline two weeks from this upcoming Saturday (December 30th). Or do we need a week extra due to the holidays coming up?
Appreciate y’all what up GRUM that pack you sent was fire and I’ll be sending another. New word is TROK if it’s cool. On top of AND it’s the first crew/collective to show me some love. So let’s battle with TROK!
So the next work is "TROK." And the due date is January 6th, Saturday, 2024. Given an extra week for the holidays. Which, I for one, will need.
Yoooo. Its illfunkfreaka, my old account locked me out and I finally got this one to go through. TROK it is. Glad you got the pack alephantone!
Hey dudes and girls! Happy New Year! Yeah homies i know that maybe ya have thinked that why bad boy hasn't sent his battle sketch yeat, so here it is. A graffiti battle sketch with a computer drawing app. Those yellow stars make my sketch more beautiful. If you vote me, i promise you that your spray can is never empty! And the last i say you, travel to here Finland, we have the best tags and graffitis in the world! Graffiit never die! Do what you love and want! Never stop bombing!
This year I'm stepping down from the biweekly battles, but I will still join the monthly battles. I was overwhelmed with all the sketches that I did last year on top of my own project that can be seen in the 'Blackbook' thread.
I totally feel you. I feel like I was getting burned out and heard the same thing from the homie @Alephantone So... I pledged I would only join the bi-weekly if the word immediately jumped out to me as having some sort of inspiration for a piece. In other words, I am not going to agonize over creating letters. They need to pop right into my head. The hardest part of this will be that, on those rare moments when I win and pick the next word, in the past, I have felt struggles even though I picked the word. Like I HAD to compete since I picked the word. No more. Not that I will sabatoge it wih bad suggestions. I will still try to make words that I feel will inspire me to make better letters. I just won't agonize over it and put effort in. I drop a lot of energy and time into these battles. But for me anyway, the whole thing is supposed to feel fun. Lately, it's felt more like a commitment or a job or a debt. Not as much fun. So, I will still enter, but only when I feel inspired. Nobody should feel like they are at fault. Part of it is just that I make New Year's resolutions for my artwork every year, and this year, I resolved to do sketching every day, like actual sketching sketching doodling practice work like an artist does. Still scribbling letters too. It's just an artist habit I have never done. Anyway... this one DID inspire me and I am nearly done wih my entry. Keep posted.
