Answer 1

OK I guess I'll be the only one in here to be an Artist which has been
writing for quite a while.

Hi, my name is Philip.
I just moved from Europe and now I live in Michigan...
I grew up with graffiti, here's the thing I started art when I was about 4 and by the age of 10 I started sketching and by the age of 11 I started graffiti.

I wrote for a couple crews that I founded, it's hilarious because the first one I founded was when I was 12! We only did sketching and tagging legally ! And in art class we would present are artworks every other day because are art teacher was so amazed.

I personally think I am a very good, I know more about graffiti than most toy's, Rockie's or whatsoever.

I can't remember what I've hit anymore, but usually I barely did anything illegal.

I'll send some pix, but I am the type that doesn't trust people that much because I've had some writers STEAL MY STYLE AT AGE 13!!! which means I was better than some other 20/30 yrs old guys!!!

I wrote In France in about 4 towns, but I moved, I still have contact with most of the people there anyways, My dad lives in Germany so lets say I STILL do stuff there but legally. And I hope I will find some DARN PLACE here in Michigan because I am sick of sketching, sketching, sketching, and tagging whatever (it's only been 2 weeks since I haven't sprayed) :P

I was 11 when I started to write, believe me I was an excellent artist in other things than graffiti, so when I started I was good, specially when JEKS pushed me in this world of art he was 12 and he was nowhere near a toy he rule, and has never touched a can of spray paint. See he wants to sketch until he's 18 and then write write write all the sketching he has done.

I was so amazed about how good I was after 1 year! (12), I knew so much, my mom thought I was involved in some gang :P ( I wasn't ) I was just so in to it, I mean I was born artist, but only found my type when I was 11 ! I donut only do graffiti so calm down haters.

Well after 2 years (13) I was pretty darn good for a 13 yrs old!!!

I learned by knowing a lot about art way before liking graff, I learned by sketching stuff out of magazines, mainly by just learning history of art, artists, type of art (besides graffiti), sketching, having a graffiti environment, friends who supported me, and people on the Internet that I help who then inspire me!

I do it because I was only 11 and I just was stunned by how good my first sketch was, And people have no clue at all what graffiti is,
people don't know how many writers there are, people don't know that there are organizations who do workshops for kids with graffiti (you cant tell me it isn't fun to doodle around with spray paint at age 15 and below. I want to bring a message out there to tell people graffiti isn't a bad thing unless its violent, vandalism, or UGLY (ill take the last one back)

Yes I have a blackbook, probably 10 !

Ok If you want a black book, I got a black book from Molotow (only for Europe) or Just go get a sketching book that is marker resistant, has thick paper, and is black, or ill post you some extra info later on.

Im out !

Philip, Han

Answer 2

While can graffiti can be artisitc, it's also a form of vandalism. Please show some respect to other people's property. Not everyone will appreciate their facilities being tampered with without consent.

Answer 3

To me it says simply that someone needs their @ss kicked. They should grow up and learn to value and show respect for others and their property. In the meantime, where's his old man? He needs his @ss kicked too.
