    When I doing a throwie, a drunk bloke threw a bottle at me, it cut my hand, and now I have permanent nerve damage, still finished it though, and was the first time I used highlights. :)

    Yeah the 90s had a lot of tag bangers. Here in LA currently there's a rise in graffiti again with all the new kids trying to get into it. There's definitely less tag bangers and I think thats more due to social media popularizing piecing and graffiti as a whole

    I wouldn’t say it was territorial the scene was a lot tougher and people got robbed more and stealing was part of the game. But even in la were you had tag bangin the objective was the same get your name in as many places as possible preferably with style. It wasn’t like they only raged in there hoods and marked there territory like gangs often do

    So much accurate info in this video. I’ve not been painting long but luckily I had a friend who’s been painting for years and he’s introduced me to a nice handful of writers. All of them have been super chilled and nice and give me tips on improving. I’ve also been out alone in a legal spot and had a few good convos with writeres I happened to meet there. Long story short: A lot of graffiti artists are really nice, from all walks of life and just want to make the somewhat boring world a bit more colourful and keep the suits on there toes

But that door opened to a whole new group of friends (decent)! And changed my outlook on life completely!! I'm just a normal bloke from the UK who paints the odd train.... HEAVY SHIT now ! But the roadsides & jumping out the car to put a nice silver sub/throw up is my only vice. Nuff Respect 👌👍

    Love the fact you added in that certain yards are territorial/held by a local crew. For the people thinking it is just so they can have it to themselves it is and it isn't. More people painting that yard means more attention and focus on that yard from the law, and I am probably not the only one who has had to seen thrown cans between the trains in a layup and has to have picked that shit up or people spagging the trains after the bar has closed. Don't burn your local yard.

    I've met a lot of graffiti writers (the illegal ones who tag the streets etc) and I can say they're the humblest and realest people I've ever met. The whole concept of graffiti writers being violent thugs is just so untrue. Yes, they do things that for "normal" people are incomprehensible and stupid but actually they're just people like us who have a rather odd hobby.
