PUREGRAFFITI. What advice would you give to young inexperienced graffiti writers?
REVENGE. I have allot of respect for the inexperienced writer “toy” .. …..graffiti is one of the most selfish egotistical activities in the world.its hard in the beginning.no one wants to paint with you …or teach you anything…or talk to you..you get hated on constantly..the chances you take ..and time you spend isn’t worth it sometimes..and yet they still paint..and choose to paint..I’ve personally iv always took the time to talk and try to put toys on because every one was a toy once..and its funny how writers forget that..keep painting and most importantly have fun and soak everything in..nothing makes me madder then a hard headed toy..
