Just because you fuckers think you're smart for staying up til 4a.m. and hiding your cans in backpacks and coats and using umbrellas and shit...... I'm no simp. I know how it's done.
And I shoot for the achilles. hahahahahahaha

i applaud your vigilance if you can stay up all night watching your walls and still run a store.
or you could spend $45000 a year to have some rentagorilla watch your walls.
or you could invest in a camera system so you can see nice grainy pics of who defaced your wall.
or you could find out by checking around the scene who's who and pay them a visit at their house and assault them/tag up their building/threaten them/buy them lunch/whatever.
or you could spend $150 every two months or so and paint your walls.
or you could invite some local artists/heads to do a piece on the side of your wall or even pay somebody to put a big ad for you up on the side of your store.

People think that by doig grafitti they hard the hard done by, and make a statement... Don't they ever think it is just as hard to get yourself recognized through the 'correct' (for want of a better word) channels?

(aug 2 04, 11:32)well surely that is part of the point James. graffiti has traditionally (and there is a long tradition of it way before spray paint existed) has been a channel for people to express themselves when the "correct" channels don't allow them to.

actually hmm, a pretty good idea.
Set up a camera and if it detects motion of spraying, wham you let loose some sort of gas that makes you sick. hahhahaa

tagger trap is something that detects the unaudiable sound that a spray tip makes, thus sounding a silent alarm. there was a website up for it, but i think it went belly up. i've never heard of anyone getting busted with it

Greedo:
Thats what i said man. I would take the time to make my walls look good. If they look like shit then I'd deserve to have them painted, and they'd probably look better annywayy.But if I pay to have a mural or whatever the hell I want and i like it, I don't want "GREEDO" all huge on my wall.

I'm all for Graffiti artists who are commissioned by urban agencies to paint on abandoned walls, etc.

Cincinnati has a huge network of legal walls. One business has whoever painting do the logo + their pieces.
A few friends of mine had some guys stop and ask if they'd paint their panel truck while they wre doing a legal. $200 + paint later, that's not too bad.

Oh Boo Hoo! Let's pity the poor oppressed graffite artists...If people can't use their brains to express themselves in legal constructive ways then the hell with them. Write a damn letter to the editor of the newspaper or something, that arguement stinks vespa.
- speed_d0
keep it legal...it is that simple. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

hmmm

Paint Louis is sick too. ever been?

speed_d ... all this talk makes me curious to see some of your work. do you have a website?

"That's like saying ok we've discovered an important link between bloody marys, spaghetti bolognaise and a certain critically acclaimed uk design agency. (hint: the link is "tomato"). The govt has discovered that thousands of bloody marys are drunk every week at the huge social cost of people taking days off sick with hangovers. Therefore they've decided to ban spaghetti bolognaise, close down Tomato UK and rename Tomato Sauce to Red Sauce in order to preemptively prevent the possibility of an epidemic of deviant tendencies being unwittingly fostered in fertile breeding grounds such as chip shops and supermarket condiment aisles."
That is the best fucking thing I have read on here in months!

yeah, but that got the can in 2000/2001... awol took over the city and officials decided to stop the event.
scribble jam and clogged caps are probably the best midwest events that are still going strong.

hey speed_d, you ever write on a bathroom wall? you ever carve something into a tree? a school desk or book? or chalk up a sidewalk as a kid, perhaps?
then boo hoo for you, you opressed graffite artist.
