Graffiti

[Notorious]

Ok, i wanted to bring this up again, because as the title for the Hip Hop Forum says:
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Discuss MC's, <u>Graffiti</u>, Breakdancing, and Culture.</div>

So, how many people are Writers, Taggers, Artists, etc.? How many have done graffiti or do graffiti? Do you use stencils or free hand? Tags or Pieces?
I just want to know, because so many people add Graffiti or " Urban Art" in the elements of hip hop, yet it is overshadowed by breaking, mcing, and djing.

What a coincidence, I have been practicing graffiti for 2 weeks and suck at it. Can anyone help me?

Ive been trying it for a few weeks too, what a coincidence! We can learn together(Kind of) Lol, how far are you Carter? I got some simple tags and stuff, and i just started figuring out some other stuff. Some sites that helped me are www.graffiticreator.net (You can bite the styles in the "Game" at first, but then develop your own style, also if you go to the forums under "The Graffiti Scene" theres alot of help stuff too) and go to this site, it has a few really good lessons that helped me a ton.

Also, what do you guys(Non-writers) think of graffiti? Art or crime?

Usually practice improves everything.

Definetly, ive been practing alot, at first i thought mine were ok, but now im really feelin them. Ill be posting some of mine in the Art Thread i made in alil, i cant find my camera, but i got this digital thing mover, so i can scan em using my other computer. Also, Carter, get a black book i you dont already have one. Its basically a sketch book, preferably hard cover, that you can sketch in your drawings. If your gonna do any real works though, keep your BBook hidden, cuz then people will know that you did it.(Only if your parents snoop your room.) Post some of your stuff, and ill help you out alil(Not saying im very good, just i know alot about it.).
