It's not graffiti if it's not illegal, and being illegal doesn't mean that it's not art. I like seeing established writers do legal walls and make money off their work, but if you only paint legals you are not a writer. There is a world of difference seeing the same piece illegally painted or on a freight than on a legal wall because you know that writer risked their freedom whereas the legal painter did not.

Onemanarmy that's sick you know Curve, there's another oldschool Curve TGE NSF, both are dope and have been writing quite a long time.

yeah... the philly curved. Right.

I think that's why curve out here started rolling with curve one.

Both guys are legit though. I don't to curve anymore but I've known him for like nearly 20 years. LOL!

Freights.
Yeah I like those. Nothing like being in a full yard surrounded by steel giants. My favorite lay up had three reefers last night and two of them were virgins (this is almost unseen) it was great. I love that hum as you approach and get all excited because you know there's reefers at the spot.

i don't do anything illegal any more, apart from maybe the occasional derelict building... seeing a friend do time, that you used to paint with every week, is a bit of an off put. everything is hard in this country now too, and although i have a lot of respect for writers still doing it, being able to see my son is much more important to me than writing a word where i shouldn't

Understandable.

Although it's been inactive for a few months there's already a graffiti thread that's been around for quite a while.

Check it.
