    To start developing my handstyle I gotta start writing out my name simple right?
    so just writing keyboard fonts and shit or what?
    is there a way I'm supposed to write it?

    So basically write my name OVER AND OVER again till i develop some style to make a decent tag?

    yes boss!
    practice makes perfect.
    try and look at other tags and try and get the flow going with your name if you know what i mean. just keep repeating and repeating and repeating.

    junobo*

    depends on the paint, you definitely dont want it too thin. a normal is 1/3 but for some bucket paint you don't even need that much.

    Thats not junobo. Junobo is 2/3 white rusto, 1/3 oil based tube paint (or another color. You can mix paint and water as long as it is acrylic because acrylic is water based.

    go to tools and tips and find a thread called "this is a must read for anyone painting freights", or go to the new to graffiti thread....

    but seriously dont go near the freights

    Yea thats ok bud, there is actually a website that has a list of slang words I believe it is called graffitimasterclasses.com anyway here is some of it.



    The list is not exhaustive and will vary from place to place but
    here is a rough guide with the main words -

    bite - to blatantly copy another writer's style
    bomb - prolific painting or marking with ink
    burn - to defeat the competition
    burner - a cool, (normally) window-down whole carriage, a great piece
    caps (fat, skinny) - aerosol can nozzles to vary the width of the
    spray
    crew - an organized group of writers
    def - very good, really cool, excellent
    (to be) down - to be part of a group or action
    fade - to blend colors
    to get up - to get your name up around town and be visible
    to go over - to cover another writer's name with your own (highly
    disrespectful)



    hit - a tag or piece, to write (as a verb)
    kill - to bomb too much
    king - the best or most revered writer
    lay-up - where trains are parked when not in use
    married couple - 2 cars that are permanently joined, with
    consecutive numbers
    motioning - writing on trains whilst still in service
    piece - a painting, from masterpiece
    rack - to steal
    tag - a writer's signature with marker or spraypaint
    throw up - a quick tag with an outline and one layer of spray paint
    top to bottom - a piece which covers the whole height of the car
    toy - inexperienced or untalented writer
    up - describes a writer whose work appears regularly on trains or
    around town
    wak - poor quality or wrong
    wild style - interlocking letters that are complicated and usually
    difficult to read
    window down - a piece made below the windows of a train
    writer - practitioner of the art of graffiti
