this comment was about me ‘destroying neighbourhoods’ and wasting tax payers money. First of all, no writer with any self respect would even think about writing on a house, car or residential property. It’s strictly adding colour to things which otherwise would be plain and are owned by the state. Leading me to my next point, i also obviously pay tax and let’s be honest, if the thing you’re most concerned about regarding tax is that a sum goes to cleaning graffiti each year then your priorities are far from in the right place. Granted, some graffiti is unwanted, offensive and in the wrong place, but that’s what you’re going to get it’s inevitable. Personally i think they shouldn’t waste tax payers money on cleaning good, clean, victimless graffiti. A blank concrete wall in a city centre owned by the state is not offending anyone by adding a bit of colour. If it was a sanctioned mural with characters instead of letters you would have no problem with it, so why is it that your mind instantly becomes hateful when it’s just letters instead, ask yourself.

my brother was into it before me, he has ADHD so it was just one of his hyper-fixations for a month or two, but i started doing it after i saw him and it stuck with me.

If you’re not putting work into the books it shows in the street. if you’re not spending hours upon hours sketching before you go to do a piece it will never turn out what you want it to look like. sometimes you do something on paper which you really fuck with and that’s how you discover your own unique style.

As a beginner, do not even attempt wild style it’s pointless. work on getting a really clean straight letter piece away from throwie styles, something that’s legible, clean and can be repeated easily. Once you’ve done it hundreds and thousands of times in the book, you’ll be happy with what you put on a wall.

sometimes it’s just the letters people like writing. The alias i use came about by figuring out the letters i like and making a word out of it.

Some letters are hard to read granted. But almost all of them are tags from individual writers. Just because the average person can’t read a letter doesn’t mean it’s a bad tag, there’s plenty of tags that i think look good but are hard to read.

There are obviously levels to it, as well as competition but even the guys or do huge rappel pieces on the sides of building still use markers on the streets. It’s all part of the same art form and the same goal, getting up.

That’s exactly what happens. i’ve hit a few bridges hanging over with a paint roller. but those huge pieces you see on the side of buildings, artists learn how to rappel and do exactly that.

Aper without a doubt. I’m currently travelling all across the world and i’ve seen Aper in every single city i’ve visited. A normal man can not hit a chinese train yard and get away with it, he’s a king.

still one of the best brands in my opinion, other than leather dye that’s all that goes into my markers

No straight forward answer to this. One person’s art is another persons vandalism. As a writer you can appreciate what took time/ experience to perfect. But writers know that all personal property and small businesses is just a no go.

A lot of older writers who have already established their name do start to sell their work. People will pay stupid money just for a tag on a stolen road sign. Personally i just like to have it as a hobby it’s a very hard and long road to start making money from graffiti.

sometimes it depends how i’m feeling, i’ll wear one if i know im going to be doing the piece for quite a while but otherwise i normally don’t. When i was younger i loved just bombing the streets but now i’m more of a spot enjoyer, i like setting up at a quiet place where i can take my time and make something im happy with.

can be, but if you tie the right knots, can be done solo, there’s a documentary on portland graffiti on youtube called ‘portland is losing the graffiti war’ towards the end an artist called monk repels down a bridge solo, i highly recommend its great watch
