Re: To my graffiti post.
I clicked on your link before reading your post.
I looked at it for a good whole minute or so trying to figure out what it said. Then I read your post and realized I still got it wrong. This is why I don't like graffiti. |
Re: To my graffiti post.
The A is taller than the rest of the letters which doesn't help when trying to read it.
Colours green blue black and yellow |

I dunno. I saw made right away...

Re: To my graffiti post.
I read what it was, but it still took me a good 20 seconds to see it even though I knew what it was. But then again, I don't read much graffiti.
It looks awesome, though. |

Re: To my graffiti post.
It didn't help that the "D" has a lower extension that makes it look like "P", and then the "E" is drawn at a lower level than the rest of the letters. It's easier if the words were aligned straight. I mean, they can still look "squished" and whatnot, but you typically read from left to right, not left to right and up and down.
It's hard to figure out which part of the letters are the important ones I need to discern the word properly. Recognizing the "D" only requires me to look at the top half of the letter, as that downward extension is distracting. Recognizing the "E" however requires me to look at the whole letter, and thus appears twice as large as the "D". I guess to summarize, there are elements in that graffiti that are distracting me from recognizing the word. The only letter I recognized right away was the "M". |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Nice! Now go put it up on a wall.

Me and my friend found this totally blank wall, very easy to climb, like 35 feet tall and 150 feet wide. We're gonna paint the whole thing. |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Please don't. Defacing other peoples property is not art.

i mean, some people may look at graf and see a bunch of illegible letters and crazy colors, and dismiss it as "not art." and while i disagree with tagging private property (i.e. homes, cars, fences, etc.) graf on public property is just publicly displaying your imagination, creativity and skill (whether it's good or not depends on the artist). "Art - The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture." |

You're dumb and fooling nobody but yourself if you believe violating "publicly" will justify vandalism, and expressing "human" creative skill and imagination does in no way walk hand in hand with having to do it against the law to get maximum attention, and position, especially when the majority of people are against it. I love graffiti, but ruining what does not belong to you simply because you, directly, are not the one paying to have it removed, or the wall raised in the first place, but personal organizations or tax contributors, and based on your preference on where graffiti should be, is wrong. And I disrespectfully disagree with you. Sometimes different opinions is valid, based on different point of views with generally valid points, but sometimes it's just wrong; you're the latter. That piece in particular is O.K as a sketch, but is at no point close to being at the level of which graffiti is considered art and a pleasure to peoples eyes rather than grey walls. |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Who gives a shit if you call it art or not? And who gives a shit if other people think graffiti is "right or wrong". That stuff doesn't really matter. What matters is that graffiti is fun! Do what you can, do what you want and don't get caught! Whatever you do, do it with heart!

Re: To my graffiti post.
^this guy haha
and Mythix....get off Darkshark's balls |
Re: To my graffiti post.
While I agree a lot of graffiti is cool to look at and takes a particular skill, I have to side with darkshark and Mythix that other people's property is really not the place to display it.

If I built my blank wall, I expect people to respect it! If I were to find some kid graffiti it, I assure you, I wouldn't think a mere second about if what he did was art or not! :-P |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Graffiti is art, I'm not questioning that at all. If you're going to go and do some sort of large scale shit on a wall, go get permission from the owner. Or here's an idea, cover the damn wall with paper so you don't ****ing deface someone else's property with paint. Then you can both respect other people's hard work that went into building the structure, and everyone else can respect the hard work that went into creating your art.

Re: To my graffiti post.
Build your own practice walls before going to hit up an actual one
|
Re: To my graffiti post.
The city will never give you permission to do graffiti. Ever.
Go buy some paper, practice at home. |

Re: To my graffiti post.
Yeah but did they do a professional graffiti mural or did they just tag their names?
If you can get legitimate permission, then good job sir I look forward to seeing pictures of this. If not, well, I'll lose some respect for you. |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Well, the one by 6 flags is pro, and airbrushed. But The one on the light-rail is just normal tags with normal spray-paint, but the people who did it were very skilled. The difference is my wall isn't viewed daily by commuters, so getting permission, shouldn't be very hard. Also I'm taking this seriously I'm not just gonna show up and do some random tags and peace out.

Re: To my graffiti post.
I've been sketching graffiti on paper for a really long time and have gotten really good at it, but I'm in the same sort of predicament where I want to use spray paint and do a real piece but I'm not going to break the law to do it. I would have practice with spray paint, but I'm 17 and my parents have never really supported my love for graffiti-style art, so therefore I haven't been able to practice on my wall or anything like that.
I did look at the sketch and I can say it's alright, I noticed your lines are a little rough/wobbly in some spots. The letter shapes are pretty good, but I would say if you're going to paint a wall, you might as well make a really good sketch and try some different color schemes on it. If you're going to paint a wall, you might as well make it look as decent as possible. |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Thaaaats the plan. I'm going to start of with something super simple, not something like what I posted.
Post some of your sketches! |
Re: To my graffiti post.
Whaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuuuck
