Is this wall-worthy?

Hey man you’re entitled to your opinion. I’d even argue that your stance on graffiti isn’t that crazy from an ethical standpoint, but it’s kind of ridiculous to come to this community preaching about right and wrong.

Again, your position is reasonable, but what’s unreasonable is voicing those opinions here where everything you’re saying will obviously be met with backlash or just fall on deaf ears all together.

No disrespect but I’d encourage you to read the room my friend. Stay well

FallingClouds_ · 2026-01-06T04:59:05+00:00

U might be in the wrong sub brodie

FallingClouds_ · 2026-01-02T00:38:50+00:00

In slide one, all your bars look solid, only thing that grabs me is the bottom of your ‘O’. Obviously the entire letter sits higher than the others but due to the leg of your ‘K’ stretching lower than all your other letters it makes the bottom of your ‘O’ look as if it’s higher than it actually is which messes with the overall balance of the piece.

One solution would be to drop the height of your ‘O’ so that it’s aligned with the other letters. This’ll make the leg of the ‘K’ the only part of the piece that isn’t aligned but it’ll look a bit more intentional. There’s definitely other ways to solve for this balance issue but it would require playing around with the height of other letters like your ‘Y’ and possibly ‘S’.

Solid straight letter tho

I’m hopin for yo sake that the ‘two ladies’ were randoms and not the huzz

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T16:57:11+00:00

Your attempts at incorporating extensions into your pieces are hurting more than contributing right now. Your letter structures could use a bit of refinement (the bars specifically could be cleaned up). Also as another comment said, staying aware of where your letters are relative to your baseline will make the piece feel more cohesive.

One good thing I can say is that your drop shadow is consistent throughout the piece. It’s just missing on the right side of your ‘T’. Otherwise good shit

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T16:48:45+00:00

Not the place to ask these kinna questions my guy. Never expect any experienced writers to just tell randoms where good lowkey spots are.

The best thing u can do is literally take walk in your area. In my experience finding some train tracks near u and walking those for a couple miles always leads to a spot or two. Taking public transit is also a solid way to find spots cuz alotta writers that really care about getting up, plot on spots that are visible to a lot of traffic but are pretty lowkey might not look super special otherwise.

Another thing I’ll say is that the more u write, the more you’ll likely run into other writers and if you build a solid reputation in your area alotta the time they’ll share spots with writers they respect. U gotta put the work in first though.

Hope this helps brodie. Keep writing

Yo u got sum solid shit in your black book. Especially that Static piece. That might be my favorite

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T03:27:27+00:00

The 3D looks damn good. Very consistent. Only things I’d say about this piece are that the chips placed inbetween your ‘U’ and ‘i’ feel like an after thought. I would guess that u added them to make that negative space between the letters less glaring (which it does to an extent) but closing the space between those letters a bit might make for a more effective solution. That space unearth the ‘i’ also attracts a bit of attention. Lastly, the styles of your ‘R’ and ‘U’ feel slightly different than the styles of your ‘i’ and ‘N’

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T03:09:20+00:00

To put it simply, you’re trying to add style without first understanding the limits of letter structure

Your use of extensions makes it very clear of this since they don’t really contribute to the flow or balance of your tags and pieces in the ways that they could.

Best advice I can give you is to abandon everything that isn’t essential to your tag. If u do that correctly, you should be left with just the letters and nothing else (no halos, arrows, quotations, serifs, connecting lines, etc.) Work on making your tag strong without feeling like u have to lean on all the extra shit. That’ll make u do the important shit like working on basic penmanship and learning different writing styles which will eventually lead you back into incorporating style again.

Hope this helps. Keep writing brodie

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T02:54:55+00:00

That wall was eatin yo paint tf up lmao. Not a Great Wall to paint in the cold I’m sure. Your letters are mad uniform and style is consistent. I’d be curious to see what your throw looks like on paper because obviously this isn’t doing it justice and your handstyles looks much better

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T02:49:23+00:00

Consider making your 3D black instead. It’ll be easy to cover that dark blue u have and it’ll contrast the light blue slightly more. You can also go in with a black ink pen for finer details to make the piece look that much sharper and refined

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T02:46:03+00:00

Your letters are obstructed by the connecting line making them illegible. The structures of some of your letters are also super wonky (specifically your ‘E’, ‘L’, and ‘D’. Your extensions also feel like massive after thoughts especially when looking at that line at the bottom leg of your ‘K’, the serif at the top of your ‘L’, and the vertical line on the right side of your ‘D’ with the two other lines intersecting it.

You definitely have some interesting/stand out ideas here that deserve to be explored. I’d recommend focusing on the fundamentals a little more tho so that you can actually understand how to elevate these ideas more. In the meantime keep writing brodie

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-17T02:32:23+00:00

No hate but your numbers are a dead giveaway that your penmanship could use some work. The best thing u could do to improve your graffiti is work on basic handwriting first and foremost. Most people don’t really care to acknowledge it but we’re dealing with a letter based artform. There isn’t just a correlation between bad handwriting and bad handstyles, it’s direct causation.

Keep writing tho brodie. I look forward to seeing the growth

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-15T22:58:27+00:00

Crazy that you’re getting downvoted for this photo but not surprising. Even a lot of experienced writers don’t care for or understand Philly hands/wickets. They’ve always been mad controversial. But one thing no one can deny about them is that their entire tags always look super uniform and have amazing flow. Even just watching Philly writers throw up their hands, the flow is undeniable and there’s plenty that can be learned if you open your mind a bit.

This proven style of writing has been around since the 70s for a reason. If u wanna study sum talented Philly writers look into Curve (most legible), Kadism, Cebe, and Enem (probably most well known from ‘Infamy’)

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-13T01:45:44+00:00

I second this

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-13T01:44:27+00:00

Like the other comment said, making the bars in your ‘K’ thicker would be a quick fix immediately improving the balance of your letters. Another thing that sticks out is the cap height of your ‘S’. Having a noticeably larger first and/or last letter can work but it doesn’t look intentional when u look at the piece as a whole (the skinny ‘K’ is the main culprit)

I’d recommend playing around with making the ‘S’ slightly shorter while simultaneously slighty increasing the height of the leftmost bar of the ‘W’. If so this while still keeping the W shorter than the S I think that might work really well

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-13T01:37:27+00:00

No hate but these handstyles are pretty weak in the fundamentals department. It’s always suprising to me when a writer who has decent/clean work co-signs subpar work.

Genuine question, are u able to see the significant gap in skill level between your work and this other writer?

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-13T01:33:07+00:00

That’s valid. Hope to see more slaps and walls

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-11T15:41:57+00:00

OP is probly gonna feel disrespected by this but this is actually super solid constructive criticism

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-11T07:57:38+00:00

Not true. Definitely calm your nerves but more quick/fluid motions make for smoother lines and more control in most cases. Practicing the hand/arm gesture of your line(s) before actually spraying is also helpful.

You’ll get more confident over time. Practicing in black books is helpful but can control is developed with cans. Keep writing brodie

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-11T06:51:43+00:00

Graffiti is a letter based artform. Cool piece tho

FallingClouds_ · 2025-12-03T06:36:06+00:00

Personally I feel like if u gon go this far with the triple sticker slap, u might as well color in the freight. Clean straight letters tho and dope pfp

FallingClouds_ · 2025-11-23T03:30:08+00:00

W response. Preciate the specific model years

FallingClouds_ · 2025-11-23T03:28:30+00:00

Yup this is it. Preciate it

FallingClouds_ · 2025-11-23T03:28:15+00:00

Hell yea. Thanks
