I am not totally sure....But I can remember speaking to Wombat about this years ago....STRETCH & AXLE were if not the first very early in the Boston graffiti movement..I'm pretty sure there were tags on the Old Boston Garden dated from '77....I smoke alot of pot so I could be mistaken....If anyone has anymore info definitely share.....
Donkey whats wrong with you kids nowadays? Why should someone pm you to explain the history of Boston? Read through the thread. Take notes like its your 5th period science class. First and most importantly. Shut the fuck up (yes this means with the typing nonsense too). This isnt even directed at TOEJAM directly event though he should heed this advice aswell. Stop jocking yourself because you write on shit. And Dont Jock other writers because you think they are cool. Dont fucking Jock anyone. Where the fuck do kids nowadays get there sense of self? morals anything? Stop typing douchey things and go grab a map book and find some out of the way spot. Go flick it. If you feel comfortable. Paint something. But serious. Shut the fuck up. thats my 2 cents. love it or leave it.
hey guy you think i have the time and patience to take notes on this fuckin thread...not everyone is all bad on here but i remember looking through some of the first pages and shit and seeing shit like someone being dead honest thinking that you get inducted into the (T) crew by catching 30 tags...obviously thats a little extreme but who is to say whats right and wrong...anyone has a right to post shit on this thread so this isnt exactly a reputable source...by the way i was being slightly sarcastic when i said that thing about the pm....also its a little creepy that my 5th period class is science...idk
i love that steez i dont know much about pointers except just check out flicks of writers who rock(ed) that style its crisp when done right
I would pm you but your pms arent enabled. My point is. If you want to learn about something study it. dont believe what people say. its all wives tales and people sucking their own cocks anyways. your right who is to say whos right or wrong? but more importantly who cares enough to figure that shit out? I dont know you nor do I give a fuck to ever meet any of you. Ive been around long enough to know the social aspect of graffiti is a circle jerk. rarely is anyone who they portray and when the shit hits the fan people are on some oh I was gonna.........type shit. Im done with my rant.
honestly cnue shit looks good my opinion is check Okanagan thread seems like alot of that style is in that thread.
Truth.....This is not a popularity contest....Too many kid's around here are worried about being liked or being put down with some crew....Or there on some, I don't like so & so because so & so doesn't like him....Straight open toe sandal shit....
And yo CNUE one of the main traits of the classic "Boston Style" is no negative space in the piece....Your letters should look like a chunk or a mass with no holes in the middle...Alert basically runs that style; he is a perfect person to look at....He was also VERY influential in the handstyle department around here....I would love to see those simple handstlyes come back to Boston....Way more original...
i used to enjoy graff so much until i found out about how much drama shittalking and dissing is going on. there is no respect
i see serio hands EVERYWHERE. they're always in the most random places. [Broken External Image]:http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sctm/v216/233/4/13806028/n13806028_32475390_1343.jpg [Broken External Image]:http://www.hookedonhiphop.com/pics/newt/P3220590.jpg
