    i only started like 8 months ago and i already sort of forget how i started, Well back then i was super into video games so when mark eckos game was coming out i wanted to play it so that kind of got me interested in it, then i saw this thing on the news that had a story about this kid in britan that said he had been doing a lot of graffiti, so then he got arrested and put on house arrest (or whatever its called) but he kept doing it anyways and got in alot of shit. But i think he didnt care. After seing that, i wanted to do graffiti. Also after getting addicted to graffiti, i dont really play video games anymore. so i guess graffiti stopped my other addictions.

    I remember I use to drive down the main street of my town and look at all the graffiti, trying to read the names. Eventually I had discovered the art of tagging and always looked up to the dope handstyles around my town. Now I'm writing with those guys :D

    ive always been a big artist,,,,always drawed,,,created characters and surreal settings,,, my pot head friends always wondered what i could be able to do if my mind had some shrooms on me,, cuz i would come up with sick stuff,,,,it finally came in my senior year of High School, Always thought about getting up,,, but never liked to be always alone,, well on trip to a art contest at a college where a bunch of the best from each skoolz competed,,, me and my other dudes had some chalk just drawing on stuff,,,and we all looked at each other and said,,, yo we should go out and bomb some time my 3 dudes that i go with,, who call them selves Loki, Saint, (first 2 are thinking of a name change, Drix, and me the Mighty Mighty "Big T.L. Springs" . I didnt get into it just to tag my name,,,,I wanted to creat elaborat shit,,, and i hated how everyones tag was always the same style,,, and always had somethan like blah 0ne or any name with 1 or 2 at the end,,, not to say i got beef or dont like it,, i just wanted to differ my self and stand out,,,, my name which has a meaning behind it,, ended up kinda long for a name and i wanted to throw the best quality shit not just tagg you name and leave but i wanted to hit country underpasses by the turnpike and tunnels,, not just the streets and burbs but the rural too.

    i want to create,,,,,,,by the way, i think my next graff piece is going to be from a previous project,, check it out.

    Got into Hip-hop music...my friend got me into graffiti... He bullshitted me into thinking he was this big writer from around our way called 'FINK'. To prove it to me we went out on a mission on the tracks near my house and did a fink dub. Been doin it ever since...

    i was 8 , i looked down a long alleyway and saw what i thought was a nicely painted mural , i walked further down and saw the back area of this surf shop had like 4 burners and a full scale octopuss with orange goo dripping out its eyes entire backdrop was black with crazy space patterns and things , needless to say i was spellbound , for the next 5 or so years as years passed i started to notice some nice looking tags but mostly that one day when i saw the pieces and stuff thats what blew me away.
    :p :blink: :)

    When i was really little, my favorite thing was to color in the coloring books with like disney pictures on them. From there i started drawing with crayons and shit and since then always had an interest in drawing.

    at some point i started noticing the graffiti on all the overpass walls while driving on the highway. I thought it was really cool and I started remembering the names and got really good at able to read wildstyles and handstyles.

    in elementry school i got into painting but everyone thought it was stupid and for girls.


    eventually sometime in middle school i decided i was gunna write my name in cool letters and i made a fade with colored pencils similar to the fades you can have in word art. I wrote my name more and more and people told me it had a graffiti style and they thought it was cool. So i came upon this site, created my name and started my life as a graff artist.
