I got in 2 graff through my cuz he was always drawing shit and showing me all kinds of graff I was like wtf that's crazy I like that his graff skillz always been great since we was kids he learn from his pops he use to do heavy graff back then I learn everything from him he told me a lot bout the graff scene.
I always loved the art form.. as a kid I would love watching the graff scene even though I never knew anything about it.. I knew one day I was going to be one of the 'Mysterious graffiti people' soo then I started copping immortal techinque on his bio it said he used to be down with graff when he was younger.. then I picked up a magazine at my camp.. I found it around somewhere.. like ona a picnic bench, so I just checked out the pieces started doing my own pieces.. but I've always loved vandalising shit I remember when I was like 12 I would write 'CZUP' on the busses and shit and then getting chased for it and hopping out the fire emergency exit.. it's just something I've always loved and I decided to pursue it..
oops.. i voted for friends but i though about it more and.. i saw a handstyle on the back of a chair at my school.. it said "mass attack" i bit all the letters and progressed from there and .. yeah
school sux you get bored, see it around town so ya start sketchin b4 you know it your rackin cans chillin on rooftops
Once i moved into the mile high city, my brother met a new friend a school and invited him to come over. He would draw burners and throw-ups on this binder we didn't use. Once i saw what he drew, graffiti had me by the balls..
me i used to see ppl around my neighbor hood tagging all the time i never understood it i liked artwork though when i was 10 i started seeing murals and shit when i was 11 homeboy blazed me up for my first time and took me bombing for the first time since then i been dedicated

let's see...about 6 years ago in school on eof my friends in art class would draw pieces and shit,kinda showed me the ropes,before ya know it we was out @ 1am bags fulla cans,bombin everything...
I got into graff, because I lived in redneck city, OH. It was just an expression of self to say "I'm not you". It was also a mixture of that good ole teenage rebellion, friends who felt the same as me, and most importantly... ART.
When these guys in my city did blockbusters 5 stories up over the windows of this abandoned factory by my school. It was rocking for a while.
got my name from the title of a lloyd banks song..i was just writing it on papers not even thinkin bout graff...then i jus staryted writing it outside..still with out graff on my mind.. then i played marc ekkos gettin up...and i said to myself i should do graff cuz i already have tags up..then i found out my friend from grade school did graff..and ffrom..im destroying the city !
i got into graffiti just chillin around the scene now im running a crew at my high school but i was always into drawing and i just started painting and its my life now
Actually, I invented graffiti..... One day, while I was finding a cure for the bubonic plague while simultaneously slicing a piece of bread for the first time in recorded history, jesus came to me in a vision (i.e. - showed me his image in the macaroni of my kids cuisine). The image began to speak, it said that I must stop being so hot and sexy all of the time and start doing graff, that crazy bastard! The image then proceeded to fade away and I consumed the anointed pasta. I felt a jolt of holy energy run through my spine and quickly took to the streets and began to paint. I started out painting daffodils with ak47's, but I figured that might be too offensive in light of recent flower-based tragedies involving weaponry across America, so I thought that letters would be more appropriate. Anyone else who does graffiti is copying me.
I think that might have been the best short story written in the history of written language. Can I touch you?
