Graffiti artists

Used to sketch some stuff for a few years, uptil 3 years ago.
Did some 'live painting', but never really liked the scene.
Don't seem to have any photo's of them though, so just the latest sketches I did back then:

I'd like to see more suburban stuff:

^^^ that is much better than all the arty crap shown above

proper grafitti

^ I'd say too much cider.

I particularly like Chloes work.

Will do, about very soon, with loads of bike lights! :D
Fitting the tripod already. hahaha, Saturday evening sorted.

Ended up doing it again tonite, this time at my mate's house, whilst waiting for the fig jam to cook.
Nothing special, loads of fun.

Blu - again.

So i was having this idea today, in how to execute something. I ended up, as usual, using
google images to research for anything done like my idea. Came across this:

I worked with the guys who did the first few images, on a design project a year or so back Lichtfaktor, great bunch of guys from Germany! Nothing more fun than running around London in the middle of the night and messing about with there amazing set of lights. They had the most amazing multi position tripod that allowed them to set up anywhere. They're motion stuff is good as well http://www.lichtfaktor.eu/

Surprising story, especially Eine seemingly taking the BTP's side.

Funny, I've read it as graffiti arthritis.

Surprising story, especially Eine seemingly taking the BTP's side.

It looks to me as if Eine's testimony was intended to say that tags later than 2005 could well have been the work of imitators?

Flynn, 40, a married father of three living in Hastings, was called by the defence to offer his opinion on whether the tags could have been the work of impersonators, and said the Tox tags he had been shown were so basic that "pretty much anybody could quite easily duplicate it".

Whether or not any tags had artistic merit wouldn't have had any bearing on the case. The question was whether his claim to have retired was true or not, and I think Eine just meant to say that 'Tox' could have been tagged by anyone?

Again??

Stupid cunt...he puts the year after 'TOX', he went away for a bit and came out and carried on, STILL putting the year after 'TOX'

Don't need to be Juliet Bravo to work that one out!

actually?

No, my pal at school his brother was Met. I got far as defacing all my copy books in school and every scrap of paper for two years solid until we ventured on the tracks and got caught I got the wooden spoon and it slowly fizzled out. I still write it down occasionally.

ah, nice. shitty that you got caught though, whereabouts was it?

Mainly around West but we got caught by Paddington where the cement firm is.

Tox's defence seems to be the opposite of the usual 'but it's art guv'. He's claiming that the style is so basic, anyone could have ripped it off. Like the toy round my way who thought 'Tax' would be a good tag, done with exactly the same lack of finesse.

Tox is the ultimate 'graffiti writer's writer' pure damage strictly for the sake of getting up, done in such a way that it can never be co-opted by the lame stencil/street art fraternity. Speak to proper writers, and he will get nothing but respect. Show his tag to most people, and they'll think it's lowest common denominator.

I've been watching graff for 25 years, and no one has come close to getting as up as Tox. A true king.

im a firm tox believer. ridiculous coverage.

QFT, not only in London, tracksides from London to Brum/Bristol/Kent/Portsmouth/Brighton not to mention his international coverage. I even remember my mum asking me what Tox meant 'cos she 'saw kids writing it everywhere' she refused to believe me when I told her it was one person writing a pseudonym as it was absolutely everywhere (this was 2004 so the very height of his bombing days)
