I met most of my generation of writers in my area by simply asking this kid who asked me for a cig if he wrote. I judged by his sagged, baggy pants and crooked hat that he was a safe candidate to ask. He said he didn't write, but his brother does. He introduced me to his bro, we started chillin and eventually I ended up meeting a few other writers through him. Turns out I met these kids once years back but obviously we didn't remember it was so long.
Ok ive been writing for about 5 years and I dont consider myself a toy or anything but ive never found any1 else in my town who writes and I know they are ther cuz ive seen the graff but ive always went solo idk ig its more peacefull
Don't bother... It is usually a huge disappointment. Watch the graff videos and the interviews where people say the most honorable, trust worthy and fantastic people they know are graff writers. Maybe in the 80's-90's. Lots of writers still give a fuck and work off of history but the internet has made people who have no real reason to get into graff aside from making themselves feel cooler able to get their hands on the materials. You dont need to know someone, most writers have nobody coaching them or telling them to go from the ground to as high as they can reach, they dont have people checking them when they fuck up. If they see this, they will know who they are, and no hard feelings, but this generation of graff writer is for the most part painting when they have nothing better to do, they arent cancelling dental appointments to go hit trains, they arent risking themselves and they are working alone or in a tight nit group of friends that call themselves a crew. Every graff writer I have known short of one are the most flaky people I have ever had to know. Keeping to yourself is better, look up to writers, but dont try to find them, If you saw Superman ironing his suit, burning his fingers and wearing shit stained 2 day old boxers... he would lose a lot of the flash. I recently came in contact with a writer I have been looking for for YEARS. I thought he was cool as fuck until recently. He is pompous, he is pretty much a dick and gets up 1/10th that I do... but yet, he has a graffiti based clothing line that he is trying to get moving. Guh. Do 100 internet pieces, start a clothing line... Perfect... These are the people you are looking for.
