if he's not that great or unheard of who cares.

 

has anyone seen a piece where fine art techniques were mixed with graff? specifically, my next piece im planning to do as pointillism

 

reyes awr always does that lol he touches up with paintbrushes and markers if thats what u mean... i consider it not graff

 

Ive heard stories of people, painting in the rain, they go and paint in the rain anyway. but some say they dont cuz the paint drips and looks ugly.

can you paint a wet wall with out it looking shitty? or is it just better to wait til tomorrow when its dry/

 

i did this when it was pouring ass rain, i could tell the wall was soaked, it came out fine though, i think like if u painted a brick wall that was covered in paint AND wet itd drip a lot though, this wall was bare

 

I know there's one guy in SF who does but I'm lost on his name right now. I think it has an X in it? I'm sorry, I'm just like blanking out

 

I love when people mix it up and do original ass shit. A know a bunch of guys who use different approaches toward graff. Intense soulful stuff.

 

fuckin retna.

 

Okay so I know to get better you gotta practice practice practice, but what are you supposed to practice?

-Alm

 

Practise your tag, and letter structure using bars.

 

But can I like copy someone else piece to like get the feel for how letters go together?

 

as big as tags are in the graffiti world, i say fuck tags. half the "good" taggers cant bomb for shit. which means their pieces look like a drunk 3rd grader did them.

Practice on your pieces using bars, 3d and its vanishing points, shadows are a must, also incorporate YOUR style.

Remember,
The best graffiti artists are GREAT all around artists.
The best Taggers are GREAT all around nobody's!

 

Can I write "jek" without getting any beef? I searched google images for "jek graffiti" and a couple pieces and throw ups showed up. Or is "jek" not that well known and should I be fine?

 

Slitt on some levels I agree many taggers arnt serious about graffiti, they tag for the hell of it, but many great pieces come out of people following their tag styles.

Almega - Do what you feel you need to do to improve, just say you took it off someone elses style if you plan on posting it. And remember start developing your own style, dont be a copycat forever.

 

dunno why you'd write jek but go for it lol

 

Alright sounds good. Haha, those are my best letters in my handstyle. Probably will change over time if I develop my other letters, but for now, I'll write jek.

 

msk are my best letters... anyone write that? lol

and almega i dont think its a good idea to like trace or copy a piece, it wont really help u until u fully understand bars and 3d and color balance... once u get those ull be able to develop ur own pieces, copying would be like a kid in algebra writing down equations from advanced calculus, ull know what the numbers are but not what they mean or where they come from u feel me?

 

Actually no, nobody writes MSK.

 

Lmfao. Just some toys over on the westcoast. But you're much better.
