If you think doing graffiti is actually gonna take you anywhere then you are highly misguided, do graffiti for fun, if you are serious about it move into graphic design, illustration anything that will get you paid for your artistic ability. All you people that are bombers just get used to the fact you will never be famous, it wont happen, think of the famous bombers and you will not ever get anywhere close to them. I just do graf/art for fun, hell I even give away most canvases that I do to mates, or they just sit collecting dust in my spare room. Yea I would love to get paid for something artistic but I am too old to go study and I am shit at doing design on computers (which is where you are gonna get paid for your ability). Personally you are better off studying something legit that will set you up in a real job where you earn money and you have the freedom to do what you want in your spare time, most of you are too young to know what the real world is like yet, believe me I have been working now for over a decade in jobs I don't like because I cruised through school and didnt try even though I should have been in university and getting degrees etc, dont make that mistake.
I want total infamy. I wanna be on a train going through town listening to people say "Wow that's really good, i wonder who did that"
nah though, i agree with alts. i don't expect this bullshit ass hobby to take me anywhere, i just do it for fun.
hmmm... i do it for the love of the game... and because most structures one would use as a medium to paint look dull and lifeless... like concrete... what an ugly fucking grey to be surrounded by everyday...
Would love to be so good at graffiti that i would get sponserd,really wont happen but fuck i can dream right.. As soon as im out of h.s im studying graphic design and I would honestly like to make a living off creating images and design's,cant really picture myself doing anything else..im also looking foward to the day i can open a big ass flick book and i could just be reminiscing about the past..would love to make a movie on graff or publish a book of my city's graff
I just want some local infamy, thats about it. When kids 10 years from now get into Graff. I wanna be their local hero.
i want graffiti to get me pussy. cept when youre piecing and the ladiez come to the spot to smoke weeds or whatever they get sketched out by you and leave and i say "hello!" and theyre like yeah, fuck that.
Anywhere except the dirt or jail. But whatever, that's always a risk in my life whether I write or not, haha.
i want to be sitting at a red light and see a train go by , and randomly see my piece or throwie on the side , i also want to see the day where people seee this as a art forn not just some ass fucks with paint cans
EXACTLY. As soon as it's overrun by artfags, we're fucked. It's cool to have an artfag every now and again, but if we're all artfags, graffiti will die.
^definitely. im an art major and let me tell you how many kids in my classes are final fantasy havin, pokemon catchin, warcraft lovin, art nerds that are rejected from society so they paint flowers all day. i feel so out of place in there. anyways my teacher set up a grafitti wall last semester and had the class cover it. you should have seen these fruitloops tryna bomb. it was the most pathetic shit i've ever seen. it's a god thing all these fairies are too scared of getting in trouble to paint illegally. if graffiti becomes socially acceptable it will give all these kids the courage to put their shit on walls. trust me you dont want that.
yea, if everybody hates graffiti the artfags will stick to legal walls and canvases and such, but if everybody loves graffiti they wont be scared to go out and do it and soon enough the place will be overrun with the shit
