    I got in around 07 , I had already been skating Alot and taking notice to the stencil work often found on griptape & pursued that first. After stencil bombing and a weird punk phase I started feeling way to limited and more interested by the wickeds and tallboy handstyles, and the wildstyles on legal walls I'd see while running around north Philly and took off from there.

    Back in 90's ,I was amazed " IZ The Wiz" and all his throwie,graff featured In a TV's program show that day. The same day with 'SK8' tv show,

    It really give a massive impact I don't think only in my country but I guess worldwide, all the colorful graffiti, freestyles, tagging and bombing

    With no Knowledge and only relay on what I see with few couple episode, I started with simple throwie sketches with my school books ..the best part is in school u can find markers, all writing tools easily, if u out of stock, u still can rack with teacher supplies,

    A lot people seems disrespect in writing, they just let the alphabet naked, only basic structure which they think that the most important aspect is to put massive information of input/fact delivered to the sender.

    You may seems nothing awkward right? Actually they loose something which is called the characteristics of the writing, the alphabetical shapes, the styles of writing, these is used in thousand years before, in our history, it's so powerful where it can enhanced people to absorb what's truly the writing is all about, respect the information given,for example, we all have alphabet A B C books when we were small kids,it's so colorful, full of alphabetical shapes, image characters, so kids have fun, these emotions, while the input still the input.

    History teach us no matter Roman, Greek, they respect all the writing letters they use, the important of handstyle on each alphabet, the high quality of which mentally help people not only read but feels the greatness, glory and how the letters style play its roles, same concept as we does, and it's proven, it's last for thousand of years with respect.

    it's more than just alphabetical wording...the beauty behind writing, the feels of power, how it's raped all people eyes. Human eyes never lies about beauty, the closest human sense with our brain

    In my opinion, graffiti just like synthetic drugs, u just want to push ur letter to more and more, so addictive, it's never stop, I bet before u sleep, u will always imagine the alphabet shape and how your flow you want to have, I don't know how to tell everything more about the love in this culture, it's so fucckin huge..man, I just want to do this forever...no need to be a world famous graff artist, but as long as I do things which make myself, friends, people, community happy..

    Sorry guys for my bad English and this whole fuckin crap, I love graffiti and I bet same with u...

    Thanks Iz for showing me the beauty In graffiti world,
    u have give me something precious in me and for what I stand for until today,
    the love for graffiti (eventhough my drawings always sucks)
    May God Bless u Iz, peace

    Around 99, I decided to join this site now because i have quit doing it illegally and just doing legal (I still do Urbex bombing). It was around March 99 when i was in 7th grade. My friends mother did it. So I got into it. I always liked it. I used to go on the train everyday so I got inspiration from the past. I'm not afraid to say this but I have mild Autism, i always liked drawing by myself and always focused on one thing. So I was a fast learner. I remember in a week i used 3 maths books of training my throws and straight letters constantly. Good times. I got into detail but I thought it might be good to share with this tight community.
