Because my soul is full of mixed turmoil, and my only way of relief is to explode with color. I'm hooked like a druggy.
oh word.... what do u mean by seein' shit when you were a kid??!! that's real dope though - i write cause' that shit is fuckin' deep, yet spiritual. graffiti has it's own knowledge, and all you gotta' do is write and listen. my inspiration comes from ghosts n spirits, all that third eye shit cause' i'm full of that fuckin' stuff... i'll sketch a character knowin' that the image is real cause' a spirit or a ghost stands in front of me.. graffiti is a girl, a lota' men do her. she doesn't have a favorite color, any color she rocks is dope. she got style, she's beautiful all around you feel? im not a fuckin' dike, it's just how i see it// graffiti be doin' somethin to you though... it takes up your spirit and the mind... that shit is addictive and fun, exciting, troublsome.. whatever... graffiti is beyond... there's too much to say about it..
im just started and haven't really gotten up anywhere except for tagging, but i write becuase its art that challenges you more than just creativly, like you have to climb shit, lean over shit, all this shit lol supposed to just taking a brush to some canvas (no disrespect cuz thats hard too) and its a new way to look at the world, cuz i'll be driving around downtown and i'll see a wall and think to myself, "thats a good place for a piece or throw-up or tag" and plus it just looks cool lol
I write cuz it gives me some shit to do I mean graffiti has really got my life straight theres nothing fucking better then going out and just putting your mark on shit its like theres a whole word and it could be yours if you really put in work and its not just that but its the fucking respect and network knowing theres a whole bunch of other people who do the same shit like evrey elment is great fucking beef is great even knowing someones seeing u up getting noticed having to see your shit get painted over evreythiing the feeling u get when u get back to yourhouse after some bombing is crazy the way your shaking a little from climbing off some roof the red lines from your resporater on your face paint stains on your wrist its great its almost better then pussy infact it might be I aint never had no dad and my mom been a fucking alcholic n shit always telling me art wasent gonna take me nowhere in life and I should quit it now i mean but treal talk no matter what happens or how many times u try to quit graffitis a fucking sickness and it will always be in your system once u catch it
i write cuz its a sick obsession i cant get over, its a compulsive quirk that runs through me and controls the way i look at things around me. I dont think its even a choice with me, i need my medicine, fiends need there medicine! h34r:
i write because i love the artform, i love the opportunity that graff presents and because nothing in life is similar to it. also its a nice way of sayin, fuk you society. i like that
i write because its an artform that has often gone hand in hand with the skateboarding culture, which i love.
ive always supported the ideals behind graffiti and im a big believer in them. to me graffiti is the ultimate in visual democracy, its more than just the visual side its the statement behind the picture. i believe in the message it puts out and what it teaches those who get involved with it. o and the girls, cant forget the girls.
I like decorating stuff. I think its funny. I aint all serious about my shit. I talked to this dude once though, who said "It's in the blood" and I think thats true, I mean how many of you where sitting there in kentegarten not knowing anything about graff culture drawing shit all over the desks? I know I was.
shits been in my family it was just a matter of time till i picked up on it seeing as i was always a little hellraiser also jus goin around illadel and seeing some of the best
since i was a little kid i always used to watch trains go by and seeing all that shit really made me want to become a graffiti writer. i think it is one of the ultimate forms of respect that you can get, and it is a bit of an ego boost seeing your tag up and have other people say i saw that and it looked really cool.
i fucked around iwth a couple names, and then i watched "infamy", a graff video, and this dude that was fucking fresh named earsnot, who was a gay graff artist/biggest BAMF ive ever seen was on there, and he did alot of tags, which is what i do, and i just thot his shit was kinda inspiring, his life story and what not, and i liked how that sounded, earsnot, so i looked for something similar, and came up with sner. after i got my name, and heard this dudes story, i just got more into it, and liked the idea of your own freedom to put any thing wherever you wanted, to just live, and know that your apart of something that no one can take away from you,a nd you can see your acomplishments every day on the bus ride back from school. thats what inspires me.
