Graffiti Gave me something to do with my time. A reason to be comfortable with ditching out on dates to go paint freights. Graffiti probably saved my life. Although I've been in jail because of it, I don't mind it much. It's been a part of my life for about six years now and I don't see it ever stopping.
One thing that grinds my gears as well, is that when I get in trouble for graffiti, my parents threaten me with taking my car away, not letting me be with friends, or taking away internet. ALL THAT for WHAT writing on something that's not mine. Did I kill anybody, did I steal something like a dvd player, did I throw a brick through a window, did I neglect all of my responsibilities to do graffiti. HELL NO!! What have I really done wrong, made some guy clean up my graffiti, who by the way gets paid to do that?
graffiti has given me an ego. everytime i pass one of my tags i just think to myself "one of many, these people know who the fuck i am". of course there's heads that put in so much more work than me, but it's nice to pretend. look at those tko heads. they fucking yell tko everytime they beat someone's ass. who would have thought that writing on walls would make your head bigger.
graffiti turned me into a survivalist, i wouldnt walk as much climb as much rack as much travel anywhere or fight as much if it wasnt for it and for that i am actually grateful. if there where to be a nuclear attack i think the true writer would survive. its something i wont stop so to keep my senses keen
explain how writing on shit is gunna cure you from the force of a thousand exploeding suns and super mutated cancer
Only this guy's talking sense, the rest of you clowns are all....'Oh,oh, graffiti made my dick an inch longer and my turds 2 degrees firmer on the Bristol Stool Chart'.
graffiti affects my life in every aspect. i get a job so i dont have to steal all my supplies i go to school so that i can learn new art techniques i got into hip hop because of graffiti im moving to toronto because my city is going all gistopo on writers (not the only reson but...) ive gotten laid and paid for drawing peoples names, i want to go into desing because of things ive learned in doing graff. ive lost friends and girlfriends and gotten cuffed and beaten for graff. my clothes are always covered in paint and ink, not a pizza box leaves my house without being vandalized. i walk home certan ways because there is more graffiti in this ally or that set of train tracks. ive climbed building and done things i neve would have done other wise. ive seen places people dont see. ive made friends with people i never would have had reson to talk to. graff is more important to me than anything else i can think of.
Graffiti gets me out of the house its allows me to be something much larger then myself. It allows me to express myself and to make friends. It also allows me to connect to my brother better.
I've just started doing graffiti but its opened peoples eye's at school they dont see me as that kid that has a freaky fro but they see me sorta as like a person who has talent. I cant say that its really affected my life since i recently started doing it but also it gives me something to do in my spare time when im not playing video games or chillen with my friends
not to burst your bubble big guy, but everyone knowing you write graffiti will get you hemmed up in a heartbeat.
Sounds like your parents bought you a car.. Anyway, I've lost most of my friends, I lost a girlfriend of 2 years because I refused to stop, I've been beat the fuck down by 20 guys, I've been robbed, I've been stabbed. But honestly that's life. You put yourself in that position when you first put a marker to a wall. There are people living in much worse shit then that. I take it as a part of life, graffiti life. Eh.
i'm sorry. let me clear this up. your girl left you, you've gotten jumped, robbed, and stabbed, because you put a marker to a wall? i'd understand if you actually picked up a can of rusto, but shit.
I'm sorry, let me clear this up. You put yourself in the position for that to happen when you START WRITING GRAFFITI. And no, I've never used rusto. We have Aussie exports here.
