I Don't Know The Styles...I've Written My Rap Name "R-Rated aka Restricted" With Pencils On Paper and With My Finger On Car Windows That Were Fogged..

With Like Arrows....Know What I Mean....I Dunno What The Styles Called.

But I Do Wanna Get Into This and Paint On Buildings, but Can't You Get In Big Trouble?

And How Much This Shit Cost?

~R~

in all honesty, trouble with the law comes with the territory.

in some cities they have legal walls for you to hit up on, so ask around. die-hard writers wont hit those walls because they look at it as half-assing and cheating the process, but they are good places to show off your skills and practice your art.

as far as styles to practice with..........i started by using the letters from credits on "the fresh prince of bel-air". i found that they were clean and simplistic. once i mastered those.....i began to complicate 'em up. but dont rush things. graf style takes years to define like any other talent.....so dont feel rushed or frustrated with your work/progress.

my advice...
if your really interested, purchase a graf mag or graf video and do your research.

I'll write a tutorial on graff if enough people want it...

Sv's right. If you want to write you're going to run the risk
of get popped. The punishment is different for lots of places depending
on the city's policies, tolerance, and/or the activity of writers in the area.
It can range anywhere from a misdemeanor to a felony for freights and
other such mediums. I would suggest getting up in low risk areas if
you're starting out and aren't paticularlly quick at your craft. As far as cost, i would say there is little to no cost involved unless you want to get paint, markers, etc through legal means which could be pricy. However most writers just rack all the above, including me personally.

^^^band, i'd be willing to co-write the tutorial with you if needed. get at me if your interested in a collab. oner...

werd if you are interested in graffing you must be able to understand the consequences in graffing or getting caught....

brawls (fighting with rivals),police, graff in alotta areas is a felony,getting shot by someone who hates and doesnt believe the true meaning of graff which is art...
