DREAM TDK (r.i.p.) If I had to name just one person, it would be Dream. His style is way too fly to get slept on. Unfortunately, there aren't many pictures of his that are easily accessible online.
Hm... What current graffiti artists do I respect the most? JA, Wyse, and Nekst because they bomb the hardest. Ether as well, but I'm partial to him because I've met the guy and he put me on to a few things when I was just a toy. Anybody with style who goes out and bombs multiple cities gets my respect. EDIT: FREE WYSE! FREE WEEZY F BABY!
How do you define good? can control? style? Street presence? I'd call myself 'good', but simply because I have good can control and decent, consistent style (not re-inventing myself every single piece). But honestly, I don't get up much anymore and don't even care to keep up with gossip and shit like that. I'm more of an outsider at this point than a lot of other writers I know, but people still want me to do shit in their blackbooks, so . . . .
That gossip Shits weak so good for u. Can control and your own style basically. U don't have to be doin nuttin to wild. Im postin some of my pics in the graff thread. Peep em
Yeah, this kid I know constantly tells me about beef in the city (SF), and I'm just like "uh huh, uh huh, yeah, oh no I actually don't know that cat, uhh huh, ok" - Shit gets old so fast. I also hate it because it makes me feel like I don't know any writers just because I don't live in the city and don't go on flickr 24/7 and keep up on shit. Although, I guess it would be a little bit hypocritical for me to complain about the internet's (negative) effects on graffiti . . . so I'll leave it at that.
I know the other ewok you speak of.......the other ewok has nice stuff...but to me doesnt compare. another favorite for me is craola.....crazy stuff..
^ Dude, Craola's illustrations are fucking ridiculously good. If you like that stuff you should also check out WESK
Yeah, all of LORDS is really impressive. If you like WESK then you'd probably like GENA as well. They both have crazy technical ability (and unique style as well).
I guess the difference between me and most people is that I like straight bombers, everybody else likes piecers. But I mean c'mon, anybody can be a legal eagle, you don't have to bomb to do p walls
Exactly what smokin bowlers said. Piecing is ok but does not compare at all in intensity of being on a billboard at 3am ish,or bein in the yard Paintin then seein yard patrol drive a couple lanes away...maaan makin my heart pump up now.
