    studying your history is as easy as asking questions to the right people. cats aren't just going to come out and spit history at you, you gotta want it. that show heart, and thats what gets you the knowledge.

    as far as shits go... Kid-c, sonix, jade, kor, vertex, ren, kane, virus, galooch are still up, barely, from the 80's.
    i still see sec/msk, base, daser, demo, zes2, recka, kane, ragge, dwel, spk, real, hope, erban, sef from the early-mid 90's.
    All this shit is still up its a matter of keeping your eyes open and really looking for shit.
    It would be nice if peoples would respect the shit and not go over it with in it for a minute throws and tags, like I saw the other day.

    that ren ran forever! that soho alley was a tight squeez and i never got to see actual flix before that building got built in the parking lot.
    i started in 99 so i missed out on all the old shit from the early 90's but i did get to see all the late 90s and it was booming! duro was the man at the time, when i seen him in the graffiti t.v. explaining the rt murals, i thought toronto was the shit! sader and loves and reslis was my fav. i still catch tack tags always scratched in every bathroom mirror or door from city to suburbs! kas was killing shit with that wild style, worm complex shit. lics had his characters scattered all over. where american apperal is used to be that alley with the old scam, puce(never), deth, duro case, that loves wasted piece and of course madd wysper burners. kwest was on that super complex tie-die fill shit. first time i found landsdown bridge... wow , blown away!
    neways im glad everyone spoke and said their shit because ive been painting for 9 years now and i learned alot over the last couple pages alone.

    bump everyone whose been schooling on toronto old school. it was rad to be a part of a time in toronto when everything you did was something new and a part of the evolution of graffiti in the toronto scene. the kids need to see the stuff from the old days - the backbone of toronto graffiti but this is a thread for what is happening in toronto now so maybe someone should create an old school toronto thread that way we don't clog up pages with old school photos when we want to up to date stuff. i have flix for days on old school toronto graffiti. if we create something for the old days in toronto - pre 2000 - then we can post on that. i'm completely computer illiterate so i don't think i can create a thread myself but i'll post tons of shit on it if someone else does it. the reason i want to do this is because i keep reading these posts and we haven't even scratched the surface on the past toronto graffiti. what does everyone think?

    thats a good idea. im not even from toronto, but this is the thread i look at the most. theres a really good scene there. i really love all the older toronto styles too, and i think a new thread for all old shit would be a good idea.

    Something tells me that would be a bad idea. Theres a reason why all the people with all the old flicks don't post them all up.

    sad was killing scarborough throughout the 90s his shit was everywhere. calling him a "spray can muralist" is just fukin wrong. hes still got tags an some thows lingering around. not to mention he rocked shitloadz of dope peices in illegal spots. jus puttin that out there to correct who ever said that.

    well from my experiences from meeting alot of the older cats is back then everyone had a personality to go along with the artwork. its like cope, how his persona reflects his art. it used to be cool to sit around and have blackbook sessions and roll up with your flick books to show off your shit. now its "not cool" to have anything that makes you a graffiti artist.

    i had a few cats take me out when i was a toy and show me the ropes when they didnt have to... i like that previous comment who said the older dudes need to direct the newbies and set them in the right direction for the sake of the culture. i try to be nice to the new cats.. but thats just me.

    who is this? ai225.photobucket.com_albums_dd176_robbingoods_IMG_3903.jpg
