    Thanks Eats, yep the vape helped me stop smoking cigars. That shit was bad, 1 or 2 a day, and expensive.

    Thanks IBU, trying to get on a more creative handstyle level.... eventually.

    Thanks Loon, its taken me years to loosen up my handstyle enough and I still got a long way to go.

    The arrow is very toy because, why the fuck is it coming off the leg of the R for no apparent reason? You should really stick to the books for a minute. Get like 10 notebooks and do tags over and over.

    It underlines it. But fair enough, I'll scrap the arrow, cheers for actually giving a proper crit. What about the second one?

    I get it underlines, and it's not the arrow, you have to look at the flow. Where the fuck did that come from and what does it compliment? What does it go against? Arrows are dope, idgaf what people say, they're a traditional addon in graff, but you have to incorporate them correctly, like every other little doo-dad in graff. This ain't the 80's jahfeel? As far as your structure, nothing is really consistent and none of the letters can stand on their own. Work on basic letters, every toy ignores this to their own detriment, but do it.
    Mad people come through here and post some garbage like 5 or 6 times and completely reject the crits given out. That's why all these folks that stay constant on the forum are so jaded and don't give crits. Shit is like sandpaper going against your compassion and eventually it's just not worth it to give crits. Don't be like those toys. Do simple letters for now, because those look like garbage and you might could make a decent tag out of simple clean letters.

    NERO: like eats said above just stick with simple letters forms for now. from there just let your style progress naturally as you continue to write your name over and over again. it takes A LOT of time to develop personal style, just keep working at it.

    i don't think you're using the word "tag" right.
    i think what you mean when you call it that is "moniker," and even then, this is more of a sticker-post than a tag-post

    Eh, maybe it's a stretch, I'll admit that. It functions in the same way as a tag, though. It's what I'd write, if I wrote, but I don't like writing. It's the sticker equivalent of a handstyle, in my mind.

    its unique, don't get me wrong. but if you don't write, don't use writers' terminology to label it

    Echo and Token nailed it. Do your thing, but it's not really what this site is about. I guess it is technically graffiti because you're putting it out into the environment, but this site is more focused on the skills behind freehand manipulation of letters. Also, since you are asking for opinions, I don't like it.
