    i write because i love the feeling of a marker on a door or window
    i love the feeling of looking at a piece that took me 3 hours and just saying in my head i did that.
    Its all feelings man.

    I write to open peoples' eyes and spread new ideas.

    Plus, a good piece makes a blank wall look a lot cooler.

    The rush, also the infamy and destruction.

    I think the "infamy" is a dumb reason to do it, but whatever.

    I'm not into the whole "have you seen SPAT's shit? HE'S SO HARDCORE!"

    ^^co-signed.

    for me, it's about one thing: I have something to say, but no outlet to say it. I don't own a tv station, or a newspaper, I don't write books. The only way to get people to see what's on my mind is to write it on a wall that they walk past every day.

    Needless to say a lot of what I write is politically motivated. heh.

    i do it for the fame. i love it when people who dont write go "omg that is so cool, i wonder who did that, thats shit is tight" and your just standin thier thinkin "yeah..i did that"

    but then thiers the rush that you cant tell or youll get screwed over. fame for me =]

    "because Im a subcultural douchebag"
    "because my friends do it"

    seriously, I do it because i have alot of problems and it makes me feel like a big man. Also the adrenaline rush is just like a release from awl stress.

    i dont HATE the whole hip hop culture. i just dont care lol. graffiti changed alot and the most unusual people can do it. i do it for fame. some people do it for the art. some people do it to prove a point. either way we all do it

    ^you sir, are profound. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. I look forward to your simulcasted seminar at the Remada.

    *golf clap*

    seriously, doesn't anyone do graffiti just for the fuck of it? I mean, that's why I started. I wasn't always a politically motivated asshole. When I started scribbling my name on walls, it was just to scribble my name on walls.

    i used to be in a lil group called street dwellers. SDK. we didnt graff but we racked lots of shit, broke into places, did shit like that, ruined personally properties...we were asshole =D. then i started to notice graff and i just got hooked. stopped racking. stopped all that destroying property stuff. and just started to draw

    I think all of us started with a "I have nothing better to do."

    My buddy showed me some cool stuff he could do and I wanted to do it too. It was just something we could both do and be good at.

    i love graffiti...but i think its irrational behavior and like dr drew says, you can not use rational thinking to prove or justify irrational behavior...i dont know why i do...i just do..

    i do it cause if feels good, im not sure why i started, maybe as some childish act of revenge on society or some stupid shit, but i slowly got better. Now, when im about to get up i just feel release, and i hit the cap, and that sounds, its like relief. Completly free when i paint, Then again theres the rush of a crazy hit....
