a typical vandal..

well you all know i love graffiti,  but most people just see it as plain vandilism well if you see a bright colorful peice of art on the side of a abondoned building dont just turn in digust actually take to the time to observe it, imagine the techinque the movement of the letters the variations of colors.   mabye think deeper try to think of a meaning how that person was feeling.. mabye that person has problems mabye there suffereing from addictions, mabye there family has problems the people that do graffiti arent just dirty poor kids who steal paint and go out just to destroy peoples property..actually believe it or not nowadys it not poor kids at all, its actually middle class kids in the suburbs that get tired of the same old routine everyday and want to stand out get noticed..
but im getting off topic of why i started this post.. lol  well there is a blog called queen city discoveries and i look at it often it college kids that go around and take pictures of old historic abandoned buildings and make findings that normal everyday people wouldnt even imagine was there. and i love it i love to feeling of going into somewere that no one has people for years and finding things that no one new about..
 i like exploring i like getting to places that no one would think about.
  when i see graffiti i see it as beutiful peices of art. a free musuem. the people that took the time to paint that had the same amount of passion in there work as famous works of art that you find in musuems

now i will admit that not all graffiti is good there are people that are refered to as "toys" witch is kids that understand nothing at all about graffiti and just find a can of paint in there shed and go out and paint on anything they damn well please..it really does upset me lol  example if you go out and spray paint you name in jagged block letters on a fence in someone backyard..heres a hint   if i see you do that you better run cuz i will beat you and cross you.. and dont think im mean  cuz if anything writers that knows a thing or two about anything sees you i can garantee will do the same so be careful on what you do. 
 
TIPS FOR NEW WRITERS: well if you are interested in starting graffiti i understand you have to start somewere and if you dont want a paint can cracking your skull and then swallowing paint then i suggest you read this.  
   i once started it out to but i made sure i studied up on what everything was. i practiced on paper for years. and when it came time for me to get balls to actually go out and paint i played it safe i stuck in places that i knew no one would have a problem with.
 such as walls in woods and sewer drains places that no one would care (practice walls) to get you style down
 after a couple years of practicing you move out  to walls and what not
 
if you are intersted just comment and ask me anything you wanna know
