    Ive been trying to sell stuff on ebay but i never seem to have any luck. Get my money back and thats about it.
    I thought it was the graf but thats two people whove said those ones are fresh.
    Problem is the people who like them cant afford to pay much I think.
    Same reason I started doing them for myself in the first place I suppose lol.
    I want to quit the day job and do it full time. Which is why Im trying to improve my graf with hints and tips here.

    Try an open market on a weekend. If they have that kind of thing where you're at. Some young lady might walk by and not be able to resist buying a pair on impulse.

    Demographics and neighboring cities can play a very big part in trying to push that kind of gear. You gotta' be close to that artsy, new wave, not afraid to break new ground, kinda' crowd. I've noticed different cities seem to have a different feel. Some can be uptight and blah with suits and ties and other cities are very relaxed and artsy.
    Good lucky, homey. You'll get there.

    Give crits to get crits.

    Would've looked good with some shadow or 3D so it'd go between the letters and fill in the negative space and bring it all together.

    You forgot the pink outline inside of the 'R'.
    Cut back on your highlights to thin them out and make a sharp hard edge instead of that soft dusty line.
    I think the wave in the middle is a lilac kind of color but it is very close to the white of the highlights in this picture. Probably just the light. If they're both white, change that wave so it doesn't connect with the highlights and make your eyes fight for definition.
    Use thicker outlines for the time being until you get your can control up a little. So that way you won't have that like, thin here and fat there kind of thing goin' with your black outline.

    Keep at it. Good stuff.
    And if that's where I think it's at down South, worrrrrrrrrd. Good times. Props.

    Yeah, the outline should have joined up between the G O and R if it was thicker.
    It doesnt look like it would between the E and G which means they are too far apart compared to the others.

    Like the colours.

    Critique?
    Purple one is more recent. Looks better in life when you can look all the way around.

    i hope u arent talking about me lol... first of all my sketches on paper are better than yours i think its safe to say.
    just because u post every wall u paint on here doesnt make u any harder than me... i have no interest in having the cops know who i am regardless of if they can charge me or not, i would bet they know who u are, theyre just waiting to catch u in the act... which is cool if u dont mind, but u shouldnt talk shit on everyone in here that isnt all wows and props for the pics u post... i was honestly tryin to help u out, the left bar of that A doesnt line up, the center of the A, the triangle, the left side of it should match the angle of the left side of the A right? when i said it 'wasnt workin' i was just bein a smartass because u said makin dollar cans WORK for me or something like that... either way its not the first time uve flipped ur shit over something so small, u gotsta chill


    but out of respect for the mods im just gonna dead our situation... keep painting and posting pics, u dont suck at graff, but u can still improve, mainly ur attitude, thats pretty much my opinion in a nutshell (big fuckin nutshell)



    oh and phat2 duke said PM that shit lol

    Gotta work on that can control dude. Takes time though, so just keep practicing. I'm diggin your style though. I've seen similar styles before, but everyone in the game now takes at least a littlee bit from other writer's work. But yeah fix that lilac/white shit that TheToy was talkin' about. Oh and buy some fat caps.

    I'm going to comment on this in 3 simple steps. And before you go acting all "Hard in your Yard" on me.. I don't care. So, whatever you reply.. is a waste. Now..

    #1.You're rocking straight letters on freights.. and still managing to mess it up. How is anyone supposed to give you props on that?
    #2. You talk to people and crit them on how they should progress, yet.. you haven't.
    #3. You're talking about people E-puffing their chest on the PC yet, you're doing the same thing.

    I went back and checked the past couple pages to see what the bloody tampon-mess was about. Do yourself a favor.. bust out something that's not a straight letter, step your game up.. and really check yourself. Chances are there are people in your area on here, and the tougher you talk.. could end you up in a video on Youtube getting your ass stomped out. That's reality homey, and the fact that you gave shit to EST about rocking the same GS for years.. yet you pop out that same simple REWT straight letter?

    You just made yourself look like a D-Bag homes.
    I was hoping to see some progression on here, but all I see is this shit.
    I was going to give some feedback on something on here, but.. for now. I'm done.

    Stay up, stay safe..
    And watch your back.

    mtn dew - i'd drop a shadow or fat ass outline on those letters. decent proportions, with practice, ur lines will get smoother. maybe try cutting theose corners to make them sharp..

    appleseed - u need to learn to make the letters flow, it looks like none of ur letters belong together.

    zook - u got a good head on ur shoulders, dont let chumps get u heated, its never gonna go anywhere. graff is only as relevant as you make it, i like that.

    for talking...
