The last post was 2 days ago so I wouldn't worry about dying.

Well im not super fancy at tagging and this is a bad photo. Sorry about the quality.

The quality looks fine. Everybody has room to improve.

I use German Fats, They're awesome.

i never used a german fat i always just use normall fats or outlines
mot sure why but a while ago i bought some needle caps and ny fats

fresh shit:D

So how does everyone get thier paint? Buy it? Well sorry everyone but that's isn't an optionfor me, so I've got some other options...

I call it revenge, and it has a story:

So I went to Walmart to get a Hygrometer (measures humitdity) for my other...activities (all of which are not illegal...at all, [/sarcasm]) and for the love of Christ on a cracker there must have been like 3employees in the entire building! I figured it would be in pets, so I walk all the way back there and find this guy stocking shelves, at first he didn't even look like a worker because he was dressed casual, and except for a 3inX3in nametag I wouldn't have known otherwise. So I ask him:

Me: Hey I need a humidity gauge, think you have any?

He looks around in the 3thermometers on the shelves for like 5mins and then says "Sorry no we don't", I gave my thanks and went to the outdoors area, and low and behold the son-of-a-bitch that was supposed to be at the counter wasn't there! So I search and search, no dice, no Hygrometer, no employee, no nothing. Ok so then as I go to the paint area to see what ColorPlace/ different paint prices are. Not bad, white and black CP is .98$ and the others no much more but I have exactly .54$ to my name. So seeing as there no employees around ever, and cameras are sparse (deffinantly not able to see in the isles haha) I figure I can "rack" some cans, teach those basterds some humility.

Walmart = The Suck if you don't know where something is because the 3-4people that actually work there can smell a lost customer and scurry off into the opposite isle...

So anyone rack thier cans? I was never one to steal, but it seems to be a better idea...

Guess everyone stole something once... except for me (cough) But you were right xD

Why steal paint, It's cheap enough.

Very much so, only like 1$ a can, but when you have no job, that equals no income, no income, no cans, and say I need 15-20cans...

Besides, Walmart deserves it ahah!

I have no job yet I get moniez?
It's called coinstar, bottle returns, stealing, and doing random tasks for people. get off yo ass and live a little.

Hmm...

So I usually head out at around 4pm...all things quiet, noone awake, anyone driving usually doesn't care anyway.

So I was just wondering, in your area, what days are the cops out the most? I would think during the week because of school kids, but maybe weekends because everyone's out and about. For the most part I don't see alot of cops...I look alot, stick to the shadows and never corss the same path twice. It's worked 3times without problem.

I'm going to stay home though, work on can control (I stay too long on one line causing drip, and I need to learn to fill) before hitting some prime spots. I get paid next week so I'll have an older friend of mine get my paint and start practicing.

Soon as I get to my scanner I'll post some of my ideas...

Also, instead of "Frost" I very much prefer the letters JAK, they have curves as well as straights, and tails...more options for fonts. Also sorter, not used as much, and personal. I have come up with some many more ideas with these letters than the one for Frost.

Stay up everyone, I'd love to see some more art and maybe some fill in techniques?

Oh dam, I meant 4AM,

EDIT button FTW!

Fill techniques? Just make sure to always do the outline first AND last. The fill is the easiest, just pop a fatcap on there.

I haven't been getting up lately, I had a close call last time and I need to stay low for a bit. I think next time I go into town I'll bring some wheat paste with me tho...

Oh, as for the best time; usually in between 1-4am if its a big piece or I'm bombing. Slaps and pastes I'll do at anytime but, it really depends on the location.

I needed to release some stress this weekend so I'm ready to be ready for this next week of class. That's my main reason fro graffiti. I was really tired but I knew that I wouldn't get another chance (the cops are increasing in the area as Halloween nears) for a couple weeks, so I did a quick stencil.

The stencil I cut...

The painted version...

I feel so much better. Not sure why, but last night while I was doing this at 3am my heart felt like it was trying to rip from my chest, for such a simple job I think I was worried of the possiblility of cops chillin in the apartment parking lot. I looked a little but not fully.

Ah well it was fun.

Also, I found another by Sisi, above an old Subway track, but it got buffed..only barely visible through the covered paint.../sad face. Eventually I'm going up there to lay my mark, I get paid next wek so I can get some paint to practice with.

A lil smeared but okay. I love taggin generator boxes. mainly my favored tagging spots.

Yeah the other one is worse because the paper was wet. I think it smudged when I picked it up from the generator. Anyway I was using that high quality picture paper (the kind that's thick and one side is shiny), it held up a little, but I should use something better, any ideas?

I also tried making a fat cap with a razorblade, and failed horribly. I tried making the hole rectangle but the top was jagged and ended up spraying little globs of dots everywhere. Meh, it was my first time and it was an old cap so I'll improve, next time I'll use a bigger blade.

Anyway I went searching today for some caps because I want to try some of my ideas (On my Deviantart) but I need the right caps. So I'm thinking NY Fats and NY Skinnies on my Colorplace cans. Those are good caps and will work on Colorplace right?

I got my Priority Mail stickers today, so when I get some better markers I'll be doing some.

Also, nice siggy Alacrity'.

Hopefully you don't think I made the actual stencil (the black and white part), I just altered it a little and affixed the picture to my own message. I did the letters and cut out...sorry to burst any bubbles, but props go to the site.

Also yesterday I found an entirely Indiana graffiti sight, wicked cool.

Link to some good stencils.
