I know I'll get flamed to hell but I just don't get it. I'm not even a graf hater, I really like some stuff, I'm just perplexed why some of the stuff gets posted in here.
its fine if you dont getit.
if you graf you will tho.
this, the arguements been put across many times before on the thread, but basically too many gay artfags highlighting only a few certain types of graffiti but you gotta apreciate it all mayng
essentially i see awesome legals as the chase and status of the graffiti world, very well produced but doesnt have the sudden moment and doesnt push the boundaries like raw bombing does
yeah they're different things entirely to be truthful
actual bombing, and piecing in illegal spots, and trains is the real shit
legal graffiti is taking that blueprint and manipulating it without having to break the law, so you get more arty shit and different types of people experimenting with it.
snobbery is for chumps. thats not to say you have to like both the same or at all

4 real i think legals can be amazing stuff, it just gets on your tits when people flame all the stuff that inspired and spawned this amazing piece on a legal wall
also clock the fact this thread has the words *BOMBING* which is obviously an emphasis to the fact that its about graffiti and not spray can art
i know exactly what you mean but sayin its a waste of time and paint is writing (scuse the pun) off everyone who for whatever reason cant or doesnt want to paint illegal anymore
i know for a fact Neas only paints legal spots now. would you tell him that its a waste of time and paint.
theres more to it than just 'artfag' this n 'artfag' that
and i could have just done this

in no way was i sayin legals are for artfags i was sayin it gets annoyin how artfags can opnly appreciate one type of graffiti (those art cigarettes who really have no grip on graffiti themselves, they like piecing because its urban and cool, but not bombing because its too urban and makes the place look messy)
mite not even be art cigarettes but its difficult to explain, in all fairness everyone has their preferences, but i dont like it when people just call bombing shit and have no regard for it

i agree with you totally... i hate that bull that comes from people who have never had an interest in doing it for the sake/enjoyment of it - almost as much as i dont like the ones who bomb 'for political' reasons.
but i put across my view in that post probably as best as i can be bothered to...
ive still got shit running from 2004 and when you get a arrested you learn from your mistakes not to get caught again
