As a rapidly aging old cunt(mid 30's and not getting younger) who has the travel bug I've learnt to paint alone more often than not. Of the 1001 cunts I've painted with I've only ever had a small handful of GOOD SOLID HONEST paint partners/crew. Too many heads turn snitch, hipster, jailhead, drug abuser, whatever. Too much politics/gay scene shit in every graff circle I've ever encountered, so do ya thing and let the chickenheads sing. If I waited for my friends I'd still be stuck in my homestate painting the same old shit. Fuck it. Graff is temporary, any graff flix or movies you see, chances are the shit don't exist no more so fuck it, go see the world or whatever country ya in. And enjoy

its always good to have a wingman with you.you second guess yourself alot when you dont. thinking man i cant do this or its to hot and having him keep you from siking your self out.plus having someone to watch your back is always good.a good extra pair of eyes and fists is always good thing to have on hand.
i paint alone mostly..in yards.its creepy as fuck being all alone in the woods and shit.lots of tweekers live out their too so you gotta be careful

you pansies that say you dont paint by ya self are straight up girls.
i do graffiti 24 7 and im not surrounded by people every moment of my life. legels etc are obviously done with crew, but i dont hang with my crew every single day so im solo alot of teh time. i guess if your scared to do it by yaself your not a pure breed. go do some panels by yaself its way more fun.

In my experience most of the writers I've taken a chance on act the fucking fool when I'm trying to do something, then expect my undivided attention when they need a lookout...I can watch my own back just fine and not have to deal with spot jocks.
As far as planning missions I don't trust anyone much less really plan anything at all. I'm better off alone doing shit on the fly, I feel way more at ease and everything seems to come off without a hitch.

Painting alone is just fine. I find that when i do im more vigilant, damn there flat out paranoid. Every little noise makes you watch your back but when your done your still left with tha same product as if you were with someone. When im with someone tha whole feel of tha moments just more chill and laid back.

mostly alone, less chance of gettin caught, although sometimes its good to have 2 or 3 of yo boyz get liquered up and go on mad bombing mission, egging each other on etc.... alternatively if I wanna do dome pieces/throwups go with my girl to keep look out although she usually bored after half an hour...then she dont want me touching her cos I got paint all over my hands..
