My brother mostly. And when i think it was last year i watched my brother and a couple of other guys do a freewall. It looked like something fun to do.
my babysitter was a writer and an artist. that and most my family lives in the hood areas of the city so i noticed it alot when i was a lil tike, on the same streets of THAT DUDE. and i used to love watching trains never really connected it with graff until i did it tho.
i actually first saw tha movie" The Graffiti Artist", i thought the stuff in that was cool, then after that i saw " Bomb the System" then i started doin tags an thought i was tha shit til i got treated, on here an round my house.then i watched some movies of actual artists an read some boks an started from square one......
my friend wanted me to start since im good in art and now i am better than him well thats because he stopped
damn , i always wanted to do graffiti since im 11 years old .. naw i just met 2 writers in my class and they were always talking about bombing and shit , and i asked them advices and shit , found myself a name and started doing progress .. been 3-4 months naw?
I got in2 graff, for the release, to get away from the bitchin nd complaing at home it just like a natural high for me
my friend and his bro were doin it alot and my friend kept telling me storys of all this shit and i was like wow sounds dope. and then they got caught :blink: if he even touched paint hes fucked. but a couple days later he came over and we bombed but i was super toy and i never did it on paper. so thats how i got into it just like last month.
One of my old friends got me to start writin, on my 9th b-day he tagged me name for me as a b-day present ever since then ive been put my shit out their...Come to think of it that was also the 1st day i smoked the ganji...wat a cawinsadence <_<
just pretty much loved it since i started realizing what it was then i started when i was about 13. my sisters ex was big into it and him and my bro used to go do it when we visited and id be mad cause i couldnt go. then i started sketchin then say la v
Just seeing it everywhere I have always wanted to be able to, but never really tried. Then recently my friends started hittin' walls and what not so I joined in on the fun.
i've always thought it was cool (like every kid who sees in on mtv shows and shit) but last summer i was at some pre-college course thing thats not really for smart people, but for minorities and the study skills course thing was based around "hip hop" which was really the middle aged white teacher showing documentaries, making us make hip hop dictionaries which was the biggest load of bullshit ever and giving us folded black paper stapled together and white pens and telling us they're our "black books haha but one day we went to see a local writer paint a free wall on a coffee shop, and i got into it from there
ok, here we go, i was working out on a pearl farm, so we had fuck all to do in our free time. so i was readin this FHM magazine, for all yo'll americanz, i dunno if u got it, but its like RALPH, basically, a mens magazine, but not porno...............................anywayz, they done a piece on banksy and his shit, and i thought it was the illest shit, so i bought the book "wall and piece" and dug that. so i went to school, one of the first days of the year, and my main **** was on stencil revolution, and i was like "ya'll ****, i been reppin that shit yo", and he was like "**** please, banksy is so not mainstream, he's mainstream, this is the real shit" and showed me his black book, and it went from there. fucken glad it happened too. have a lotta fun doin it. cheerz crozzy
ive always been into drawing cartoon caracters but then as i got older i started to meet other writers and i jus found it interesting that you can jus pic up a can and turn a blank wall into a piece of art.and i love the fact its the only art movement created by teens. "anons" "df-mb"
My dad works next to the train tracks and i would always sit and watch the graff on the sides of the freights and wondered what it was now i know
I just started drawing one day and got into it... the internet was a big part of my early days though... now that i think about it i remember i once went on a forum and asked what a toy was.....hahahaha man that shit is gold...
