When I doing a throwie, a drunk bloke threw a bottle at me, it cut my hand, and now I have permanent nerve damage, still finished it though, and was the first time I used highlights. :)

Was it worth it?
You got the unbuffable injury😂
Most annoying misconception: Graffiti and Street art are the same thing.
In the 90s graffiti was territorial with all the tagbangers in LA and San Francisco. Nowadays it's different though.
Yup I remember that crews hated other crews. I'm 40 now and lived in San Jose and Fresno. It got bad back then. I went to the military and met other writers and we talked about that all the time back in the day.
Yeah the 90s had a lot of tag bangers. Here in LA currently there's a rise in graffiti again with all the new kids trying to get into it. There's definitely less tag bangers and I think thats more due to social media popularizing piecing and graffiti as a whole
Oh there’s still tag bangers lol there definitely is because I’m always running into them and getting banged on
@@eastsideofthetracks8311 believe me ik I run into them too but with less frequency. The 90s was the peak of tag banging in LA
I wouldn’t say it was territorial the scene was a lot tougher and people got robbed more and stealing was part of the game. But even in la were you had tag bangin the objective was the same get your name in as many places as possible preferably with style. It wasn’t like they only raged in there hoods and marked there territory like gangs often do
So much accurate info in this video. I’ve not been painting long but luckily I had a friend who’s been painting for years and he’s introduced me to a nice handful of writers. All of them have been super chilled and nice and give me tips on improving. I’ve also been out alone in a legal spot and had a few good convos with writeres I happened to meet there. Long story short: A lot of graffiti artists are really nice, from all walks of life and just want to make the somewhat boring world a bit more colourful and keep the suits on there toes
It’s not vandalism. we just choose to decorate shit
diego delima if it’s not you’re property then it’s vandalism
Connor The Ace Yes you are right in a way but to me graffiti is just art and to some people it’s vandalism to me it’s just a part of life you grow onto
diego delima yeah but it definitely depends on what you paint
Not exactly
diego delima I meant what you paint on
The legend is back
Keep up the great videos been here since 700

Nicely put mate. I'm im my 40's now &. started painting in 89! I was a BBoy white kid at first then got into other more serious shit,but I'm the last 10years since I discovered the array of CHEAP low pressure paint that I didn't have to rack I was BACK! But that door opened to a whole new group of friends (decent)! And changed my outlook on life completely!!
I'm just a normal bloke from the UK who paints the odd train.... HEAVY SHIT now ! But the roadsides & jumping out the car to put a nice silver sub/throw up is my only vice.
Nuff Respect 👌👍
Your growing insanely quick I’ve been here since 2k I think it’s because your very unique keep it up
I live in Baltimore Maryland and it is very wrong that people say that it is a very bad place. I'm only 9 and I love graffiti. I only draw on paper.
I'm tattoo artist from India and love to do grafiiti as well as I love to do tattoo
Respects to you!
Stay up G
Respect broski
1:38 wtff dats sooo clean
Love the fact you added in that certain yards are territorial/held by a local crew. For the people thinking it is just so they can have it to themselves it is and it isn't.
More people painting that yard means more attention and focus on that yard from the law, and I am probably not the only one who has had to seen thrown cans between the trains in a layup and has to have picked that shit up or people spagging the trains after the bar has closed.
Don't burn your local yard.
Graffiti is a way to have fun and good time with homies + to forget problems that u have bc ur making something rly cool :)
Sadly the graffiti writers in my area are violent. I almost got in a fight for tagging near some other writer.
Also, hit me up in a video if you can, I write SKOE
Where about what country

Bruh you should see them in LA, they think your in their hood, if I Could tell you the amount of times a gangmember/ tagger tripped on me, you’d laugh. That’s why I either carry a gun or a knife
make a video talking about graffiti stickers...
Like a how to stick a sticker video yeah? You didn’t even say please 🤦🏻♂️
He did it
I think about paper vs eggshell

East Saticoy, peace bro
Yo u should do 10 hardest systems. Dart system should be included
Its kinda weird to see a writer doing videos like this, no hate. I like it
MORE UPLOADS PLEASE! LOVE YO CHANNEL MY MAN
Love the posts man, best craft channel there is
Nice work on the vid man, You should make a vid on the history of graff for those wanting to learn about its roots.
Edit: what do you think about Sydney's own O.G. Mr Eternity and his 35 year bombing spree
all of this is relateable to me. sometimes when i go out to paint near the park, some kids in my school would see me and call me a delinquent or a vandal. like, im just trying to let myself relax and have fun.
Everytime Graff Lounge uploads its christmas
the og is back ♥️
Welcome back big homie
Straight up best graffiti TH-camr imo
I agree this TH-cam channel is dope🤟
Territory only thing I can think of in that aspect is yards Dandenong yards are run by ksa fmc who are nut cases haha
Paul Bilotto Bahaha everyone believes Jisoe still lol, dandy isn’t claimed hand hasn’t since like 2015, it’s anyone’s yard nowdays

Im 25....
😅
Stopped tagging for years and discovered graff has a huge online presence.
Been getting into it slowly but it's harder as an adult.
@@shaunreid4423 stay up little dude!!!

The only reason i started painting in my city is because me and my friends are the only writers here the rest are just a bunch of kids that write their names on walls and dumb shit so me and my friends have set out to Brightin up the city which has been really hard because even tho it looks ez as he said in the vid it takes alot of time and planning and takes longer than people think i was one of these people i use to think that graffiti was of the top of the persons mind but no it takes hours or even days just thinking about the sketch itself
My friends and I started for the same reasons. There are 2 older writers in my town and then we have a bunch of kids, and some adults who paint swastikas and slurs. I started just crossing them out but now I'm doing shitty throws over them.
i love this channel i hope you still 4 ever do this coooooooooool videos
so glad i found your channel
Not to mention for number 5 if you do walk up to someone who’s painting there’s a pretty good chance they’re gonna run anyway
if i see someone painting, i usually sit down and watch them.
FINALLY A NEW VIDEO!
I really enjoy your videos 👍🏻
Guess who’s back 💯💯💯
Back in the day in LA there were a lot of tagging crew that eventually ended up either Blood-Crip- or one of the Hispanic gangs….lit seemed like a natural progression that sometimes can happen in the streets
Use to live in canada, now costa rica, and because the country is so small theirs one writer that’s all COUNTRY
Ayee you're back :)
Yoo daug !!! Ur so cool ,
post more !!!
i was your 7k sub you are growing realy fast
On point my man!
Keep em coming love from the birth place of graffiti PHILADELPHIA
yasss a new vid
2:56 its near where i live in berlin saw that few weeks ago love 1up and berlin kidz
1up og, wish they had crews in America
I’ve been writing off & on since 83-84 & I gotta say that before watching this it never dawned on me that I’ve never met a female who does graffiti 🤷🏼♂️🤨I like seeing that girls are into to it too 👍
I disagree with number 1. Even if writers go out with the intention of just having fun the inherent act of illegally putting up art is and will always be a somewhat political statement. A rejection of authority, private property, and the woes of capitalism. Intent isnt everything.
Hip Hop artist Promoe said the similar
It’s rlly not that deep… actually it is I do it mainly for fun but there’s ten percent of me wanting to say f*** the free world ya know
Really enjoy this channel great videos:)🔥🖤....
There's ethics to graffiti but no rules. The moment you place rules and labels to graffiti is the moment you kill the spirit of it.
Hey dude, I'm going to be in Melbourne for a month soon. I was wondering if I could contact you somehow to get some recommendations for walls to check out or that kind of thing. Let me know. I don't think youtube has the messaging function anymore.
That last one tho is me i hate when people try to talk to when im bombing or working on a peice
Wee need more vids bruhh!!:)
I tagged the whole school and got suspended for 5 days they said it’s related to drugs and gang activity/violence but I’m against drugs and I have a crew not a gang
I'm 48 and I still love doing it
Tag bangers👌🏽😂
Good vid fam
What writes better on vinly, paint markers or sharpies/permanent markers?
Big Nog paint markers
I've met a lot of graffiti writers (the illegal ones who tag the streets etc) and I can say they're the humblest and realest people I've ever met. The whole concept of graffiti writers being violent thugs is just so untrue. Yes, they do things that for "normal" people are incomprehensible and stupid but actually they're just people like us who have a rather odd hobby.

Yea!
Keep it up man
