In some places, Like my area over the years, big box corporations have came in and shut down all the hardware stores, and they have about as much security as a prison
to that i say u dont have a walmart or sumthin, those fuckers are bout stupid walk out wit bags through garden all time or just stick n move stick n move shove 5-6 cans down pants n jet, never paid for paint unless its on sum1 elses dolla...seems like today ppl are driftin from the roots,rackin has always been part of the culture its a risk but a worthy 1 shit growing up roun sum of my ppls u told em u bought paint u mite as well have called it quits then
some things i rack, not paint usualy. i spend about 50 or 70$ on montana every couple weekends depending... i have a good job and a low cost of living so buying my paint is nothing really..the stores here usualy have bad stock anyways
HOLY FUCK you guys have it good, in new zealand ironlak is 10 bucks and a bag of 10 caps is like 5 bucks, where im from in dunedin, you cant get any american paint, you can get belton, which is 14.50 and the 600 ml cans are like 20 bucks. I work for 9.50 an hour minimum wage at 13-16 hours a week at a fucking supermarket. i spend every cent on paint and food. bombing i use 3 cans and a mix bag of caps is 35bucks. so a peice is like 4-8 cans and anywhere between 45 and 95 bucks!!!
Which Montana do you buy? They only offer the Gold Label where I live, so naturally, I don't touch it. Why would you spend 50 bucks on less than ten cans of montana when you could get double+ for the same price?
i just can belive how many ppl buy this is insane rack ppl damn get bak to the roots, fuck the system damn....
damn, last piece cost me like 40 bucks when i got done with adding up the paint and stuff, expensive shit in my opinion. it really depends too on how detailed you want to go cause I went all out on the one I'm talkin about
good old day of racking paint. i have to find more spots to get paint from so far just lopez aye any writers from aus nsw nere parra and that giveme a buzz if you know some more stores.
I mean racking is good and dandy, but why the fuck do you care, JEDI? Graffiti isn't just about redistributing the wealth, it's also about.....ready for this? ART! christ on a cracker, shut the fuck up!
allright internet gangster , lets get this shit straight i can say wat ever the fuck i plz how da fuck i plz, fuck yea its for da art, but u look here fucker dont ever question me again, graff is my medium for self expression ,to my art ,however y should i break away from the roots the reason I CARE,is cuz if u write u fight, wether that means knockin a rival da hell out, fightin to get dat spot or fightin the system, fuck the companies,take wats needed u uppity mother fucker
JEDI. Cool it, yo. Just because other people don't rack doesen't mean harranging them cuz they don't. I'm not dissing you, just calling you on some ill-though comments.
not dissin w/e u drop a cuss on me u basically callin me out i dont play if i knew where u lived itd straight rock u, ya dig homie, so dont be like nah homie i aint dissin u then droppin cusses nd basically calliin me fuckin stupid nah i dont play like dat, ill thought , shit mayb u just blind fool its for da art i knew dat, every REAL writer knows dat but u go back to the days the old days it also had a subbliminal mesage, FUCK THE SYSTEM, authority dont mean shit its just another form of control n fuck dat nuffin controls me,and stores are da 1 fucking u wit overcharged goods to start wit nd their just controling u like da sheep u r, be a wolf, if comprehend dat is
i make about 200$ a week from moving trees, so why would i want to go into a store with like 25 cameras, magnetic detectors and mystery shoppers when i can just do my thing and get like 20 cans a week with money i dont even work to get... if you are 14 racking cans is ''cool'' i guess you guys need to realise we dont live in stylewars... things have changed since the 80's it is now safer to make money by selling/stealing other stuff and then just buy your cans...
Its really easy to steal paint where I'm from. Canadian tire has nothing for security. I buy caps in bulk baggies and thats my only expense, so maybe 2 dollars or so for a night, and usually I can just use those caps again and again until a can explodes or something. I bought 2 cans of montana just to try it out, I don't really like it because a)its expensive b)the big bags of ny caps I have don't fit on them and c)its the same a rust paint except different colours. Overall I think I've maybe spent about 50 dollars on graff, I haven't done much but I got a lot of stuff. If you can afford the amount of paint I go through in a sesh at 7+ dollars a can then I'm jealous cuz i'm just hood rich compared to you.
