    • Love it, but slightly wrong chrome colouration for central London - not so many blue skies and desert colours about Hackney :)Nairn
    • It's a new take on the classic graffiti chrome, defo more Californian sunset than UK. I reckon it's more to do with how the effect is generated.PhanLo
    • Not quite there but nearly

    • hmm, I'd put 'cali chrome' down more to air brushing and late 80s GFX than I would Graf. Is it a big Graf thing?Nairn
    • I know it was an effect I loved doing, pixel by fucking pixel, in Deluxe Paint 2 on the Amiga, for our intros to cracked games we'd sell at schoolNairn
    • It was super big in the 80's but people still do it now, like this https://www.graffiti…PhanLo
    • People had kind of stopped doing it by the time I started painting properly, but I defo remember all the airbrushed game covers from Spectrum magazinesPhanLo
    • That's cool you did your own load screens.PhanLo
    • :) Yeah, a lot of fun. Of course we never cracked games ourselves - we scanned the Hex of pirated games to remove the bootloader and replace it with our own!Nairn
    • I got really good at being able to scan the entire hex dumps of games to find the bits we could change. I think I can switch mild autism on :)Nairn
    • Defo reckon some of the early messing with computer games and programming helped figure out stuff later in life, or at least prepared our brains for it.PhanLo
