Graffiti there is..well...not as good as the Detroit graffiti I'm used too....

ericpalmer (Aug 22, 2010 at 6:51)

yeah, most of it is done by bored kids. We do have some good graph here, but not as much as I'm sure you have there tho. Keen to get someone to paint this properly so it's not just messy tags

Macks (Aug 22, 2010 at 7:04)

why not give it a shot yourself? might find you're good at graffiti aswell as photography!

ericpalmer (Aug 22, 2010 at 7:13)

I did do a bit of graph when I was younger & am ok on paper, but not enough practice spraying & on a metal ramp I know mine would be messy as hell

CrashProned (Aug 22, 2010 at 9:36)

haha. i actually live in a small town near detroit (20 miles away) but its close enough and i do go to detroit alot. but all the kids in my town absolutely SUCK at graffiti. so, i have been forced to make some wicked stuff on trains and what not, however most of my work gets sandblasted within a few days. Frown

Macks (Aug 22, 2010 at 9:51)

well im sure anything you do will be an improvement on what's currently on the ramp...

ericpalmer (Aug 23, 2010 at 9:05)

yeah, I dig that style way more than the ones in your 1st link... I have a soft spot for shading

eric did ya look at mine?? lol

ericpalmer (Aug 23, 2010 at 9:20)

haha, yeah. It's cool, but we get loads of stuff like that around here. The 3D stuff with mad shading & neat painting does it for me. The one in your link is a cool style, but a bit messy on the paintwork. I don't have any shots of our best stuff, but have used some of the work in our park as a bg, also a bit messy, but the colours worked like a charm for what I needed
