dripuk, work on the N of the bubble ones, it doesnt fit other letters and the straight work on the K and cut the 3D so it isnt a triangle if u know what i mean.. i never liked that..
yeah im workin on em still, ill try a different N, and k, i always have problems with k's. i prefer the 3d choped off as well but i havent drawn any 3d for a couple of years since graphics at school lol, so im just getting used to it again

infamous....colour schemes are working well with the contrasting colours, however you still need a to work on your letters. keep practising though, you can only get better right

SALE, one reason I don't post is because my lack of a camera/scanner.
Another would be that I can critique my own art, since I know what's working or not.
When I draw out something that I'm comfortable enough to put up, when I think every letter is good, I'll post it to see if there's something I've missed.
There's a writer where I live, that when he was younger, people called his style bogus and wack, but now he's up everywhere, and his shit is unique and clean.
I don't think you should depend on other people to design your work, or not until you know what you're doing, which takes a while.
And I'll draw out some stuff and post it, just for you.

nice story about your friend, your right it is good to be original but the best advice given on here is to go simple and work your way up......its good advice although not everyone takes it . originality develops over time and it a lot easier to get that unique style when you know the basics of what will make it look good :)

I just think that there's a time when you understand letter structure and placement well enough to start to evolve out of a toy, and even then, you still suck, but there's a place to progress.
And besides, I haven't been happy with my work lately, so...
And this is some of his stuff, old to newest

And something that should be less important to everyone right now, even me, is fills. Letter structure either makes or breaks a piece. Like KILLR and AGED, your fills may be okay, but they should not be important to you until you have rockin' letters.
One of my graff mentors sees fills like this: you don't want to mix warm and cool colors in a fill. If you don't mix those colors, you can basically do whatever you want to a fill. Like, your fill colors shouldn't really be Yellow, Orange, and Royal Blue. They just shouldn't be mixed. I'll show examples below. But yes, they do mix sometimes, but I've only seen it work in very small doses. Here's some blackbook work that he's done for me and a friend.

See, and some of those fills are just spagetti, but the shit's nice.
But you have to work on your letters first. Shit, you could just do simple straight letters and a nice fill and have a killer piece.
Here's his work on the street:

I wasn't even talking to you, if anyone. I was speaking generally, for anyone who needs advice.
I've been only sketching for a little over a year, and only painting seriously for about 5 months, so I can't talk much shit.
old dot
12-29-2006, 10:50 PM
you wasnt talking shit it was good advice. i was discussing your friends work then you posted some of his stuff up, so i asumed you was talking to me but whatever my bad.
id also like to see some of your stuff if your posting. i wont be too nasty, lol na just kidding should be decent if youve been writing a year....
Decay_RA
12-29-2006, 10:59 PM
I'd hardly say "decent". I still have a picture or two when I just started, and the shit's disgusting. I'd still say I'm a toy definately.
And well, that post was kinda towards you, with the pictures, but not the "don't think it comes easy." I know some toys around my area who consider themselves kings (hell, I'M even better than they are, and that's saying something), but they've only been destroyed by our locals because of their attitudes.
And I'll post something soon, but I'm a little high right now and it's hard to even type this.
I just got my wisdom teeth out, so...
But I did post something a few pages back with a friend's camera, and I know, the "A" and "Y" are crap, but I knew that when I posted it.

theres something to be said for letter flow...
when you guys end up going out and actually
hollaring at walls... nothing wrong with reoutlining
the inside of a hookup with a lighter color
and doing your drop shadow. A hookup
with good letters and good flow and correct
dimmension dont need to be all filled in.
plus if you hittin up a real bawls out spot you
dont want to be hangin out too long

if your a toy practicing simples is the only way to progress. its not a question of loving letters with no style and wanting to do them all the time, simple letters are necessary.
^^
to add on this point.
every writer i know, who is WAY WAY WAY BETTER than me, still does simples every single day.
simples are a respectable part of graffiti, if u cant do them, just quit.

It'd be easier to see if we had larger pictures, but from what I can see, it's pretty clean.
In the first: The "T" is really generic, which I don't like, but still done well.
In the second: I think you should space the top leg on the "K" more out from the base line. Nice 3d work, though.
In the third: Looks good, but the "K" is very large compared to the other letters, try to shrink it down a little.
All in all, it's damn well done.

Bouncing, I don't like that the "W" shoots in a completely different direction as the other letters. All of the other stand up, while the "W" points towards the left.
I feel like, that if it stood straight, it'd be fine. Or you could point it to the right so it would continue the progression towards the "S", which would make the piece look kinda like it's pointing all towards a certain direction, like an arrow.

Yeah, that's basically the idea. Just find a bridge or wall that's bombed out constantly and just chill or blackbook or get up or sell crack or whatever it is you kids do there. But just wait for another writer, and remember to keep a cool head. Chances are, they won't be too nice to a little toy, since most writers have large egos. But just be cool, and talk to him, ask for a little help, and you should get in good with a couple of writers. I'm sure someone wouldn't mind being a mentor to you.

i think yall should read this itll help yall out with your vision
These are just some rough thoughts on the addiction side to the game… I’ll hopefully be updating this in a timely fashion...
Many get into graffiti at a time of their life when they aren't fully "matured" yet, you know teenage issues... hate the world, hate your environment, self whatever. You might be very insecure about yourself, not sure "who you are". You may feel isolated, lonely, weak... (When you are getting up you sure as hell don't feel that way, at least I don't. You feel like you have control over the whole fucking world for however long it takes for you to catch that tag or do a throwup. It's like "BAM" what you gonna do!??!) So when you start writing, all those things sort of dissappear, at least when you do it. It's like "man there I am!! That's my shit!!! Fuck you world!!!" it gives you sort of an answer to your cries in the dark. You ARE somebody, cuz there's your ill shit on the wall. And the RUSH! Shit, am I gonna get caught?? Is a cop gonna roll up? Are there undercovers hiding somewhere? Camera I didn't scope out??? Is a crazy hero gonna get all in your face?? All the things going through your head. The sounds of the cans, the smell of that fresh wet rusto... All these little sensory things add to the adrenaline, hell this may even be an addicition in and of itself-before you never experienced a 'rush' so intense and real as this... no sex, drug, sport can really give it to you(or so i've heard. I sure as hell haven't experiened anything quite like bombing)so hell maybe it isn’t entirely out of the question that you can get addicted to just the ‘rush’ or ‘high’.
The “rush” aspect in and of itself is what does many writers in for good. Before it, they had shit… just some bored kid floating through high school… floating through their dead end job at 7-11… All of a sudden there’s this primal thing you’re given-bombing is a lot like predator/prey, with the writer being the predator.(or are they?) And, bombing is a lot like a dog marking their territory, because that’s what you’re doing. Marking something and saying “this is mine, this is me, I was here”. So I think graffiti plays on a lot of these natural human instincts and triggers and what have you.
In my experience, graffiti was this untimate thing that gave me an escape from basically all the shit in my life. Insecurity? Gone-you’re a vandal who “doesn’t give a fuck” now! Ego? Huge. Graffiti is a huge ego-trip no matter how you dress up the art or craft of it… it’s all about YOU. YOUR name, and people seeing it. You putting it wherever you want. And you get off on people seeing it, dealing with it.
Even after having some runins with the law, and I tell myself “this is it. I’m done. Can’t keep worrying about cops etc” I still continue to look at walls and think of how I would take the spot, where I would place a tag… Whenever I have some writing utensil handy it’s basically second nature to start writing all over it, messing around with styles until it just becomes a bunch of scribble. This leads me to think that this shit seriously does become a part of you, when you are ‘active’ and when you ‘stop’. When you are active even more so… it sort of dictated my whole outlook on a lot of things and even simple stuff like how I would speak and simple mannerisms. No matter what I seem to tell my mind, it doesn’t fucking go away.
Many writers have said things a long the lines of graff being a game, a sport. This is true-it is a game, but nobody wins(not to sound like some mid 90s anti weed ad or some shit), but really no matter how hard you bomb, you will only be on top for so long, and even then who are you on top of? Other miserable people like yourself? Believe it or not, the average joe doesn’t give a shit! You may think having a whole neighborhood covered is a good strategic way to constantly be in the face of joe public, but to what end? So they can say “they gotta take care of that graffiti shit here… I see that tagger DICKERONER all over…”or some yuppie art student takes a pic of your shit because they think it’s rad and edgy and they post it on their livejournal.
back to the point though… It’s a one way street. The addiction tricks your mind into thinking those problems are suddenly remedied when you do it, (but you are totally aware they aren’t) because your mind becomes so addicted to it, it will trick itself into believing otherwise so it can still get its fix! Kinda how drug addicts will lie and steal from close family and friends, just to get a quick fix or whatever. It prevents you from really dealing with your problems like a mature adult. Because most writers get addicted when they are young, or at least emotionally and mentally immature-the addiction sort of freezes the state they are in when they start. And I dunno about you, but the vast majority of writers aren’t exactly the happiest people. Why would you waste your time, writing bullshit on walls if everything in your life was A-O-K? Your got problems and graff is a way to deal with them, right? Ok… so maybe it isn’t the WORST thing-but it’s still illegal. And it’s not like weed where you can be like “LEGALIZE IT”, anybody with a brain would realize the implications of ‘legal graffiti’ and it simply would not work, would not fit in with our society.
Realize this… a lot of your masters(cops) could give a fuck about some paint on a wall… of course there are plently of exceptions. Unless they are apart of your cities vandal squad though, writers aren’t exactly at the top of their list of “to catch”. Vandal Squads are another story… And to me, the resources used for these operations obviously would suit the greater good of the planet in some other way. Murderers, rapists, etc. Writers have been saying this for years too, obviously.
Graffiti didn’t really exist before the 70s and 80s, (ok, it did obviously people carved BOB + JENNIFER into trees and that sort of trite shit) in the way the ‘culture’ exists today, with it being all about your name and these fairly specific ways to do it tags/throws/pieces etc… People started feeling isolated more-especially in the bigger cities, obviously. The economic side of things was a huge factor, but not the deal breaker. There were still “Kids of privilege” who wrote, and even played key roles in the movement. Which confirms the fact that it is largely a psychological “illness.”
So what I’m saying is… you should be aware of all these things… especially those of you inclined to basically dedicate your whole life to this.
OK this was retardedly sloppy… Like I said I’ll be cleaning this up a lot. Give me feedback.
