    thanks a lot for sharing my KALK-piece. So cool you like it. P.S.: just a little mistake in the description, it´s Kreuz not Kruez. Best greetz from Germany and keep going with such nice videos.

    lol thanks dude for the correction, i fixed it for you. also really sick work man, loved the piece if anything i have to thank you for submitting. you really hit that nice sweet spot between having enough detail to be hard to read for new artists in graffiti, and having enough detail to break down to learn from while having clear letters to see once we broke things down. your piece really let us teach this topic !

    9:48 the "e" could be uppercase maybe? idk man i have been reading graffiti for years but i swear some wildstyles give me a headache. if it is an uppercase e it could be really flying under the radar because the middle stick looks more like a detail than anything else but if you look at it that way it seems a cool stylized version of what i like to call the "classic E" in graffiti. idk if i explained myself with these words, i would like to draw some examples but unfortunately youtube doesn't work that way.

    Dope vid! Glad I finally made it! Mine was COFA. I’ll make sure to keep in mind what u said thanks for the advice. I sometimes do blocky but mainly do Tubey/organic styles wonder what u think of those, I try my best to think of all the fundamentals and I also do fine art. Idk if u remember me but I was also Jaguar in ur twitch streams. Anyways thanks again!

    Outstanding! Thanks so much, man! That helped me a TON!!!! Much appreciated! 👍 I live by some train tracks, where they trains have to slow down as they come into down (plus they cross an busy intersection) ...and I get to see some of the best art every on some of the train cars! Now, I can start breaking down the more wildstyle ones and understanding them! 👍 Also, I think it should be pointed out [credit where it's due]: I made a post on the The Arist Block's last video asking if, maybe, this topic could be covered sometime so people like myself (who are new to the art form) can learn to read the very stylized pieces? Not only did the creator respond with a positive attitude, they suggested they would make a video in the topic. I figured it would be down the line sometime... not the next video! Thanks for being such an amazing creator... not just your content but interacting with your fan base! If I could sub twice, I would! 👍

    The piece at 3:19 makes little sense to me. I could see the "R" and "A", but the "S" especially seems very broken, I don't see how that's a visible "S". I'm no expert of course, I'm just having a hard time seeing how this follows the rules and some of the others don't.

    I unfortunately have to agree, I tend to just ignore wildstyle because there's no point in going all out if I can't read your tag. I'll try to learn as best I can, but I swear these all break the very fundamentals of writing. Legibility is more important than flair.

    It varies a lot why people like graffiti. Where I live, Glasgow, our graffiti culture is awesome. There are tonnes of great artists who all appreciate each other's work. As for the gibberish thing, I'd say it's part of the fun of understanding this whole art. You wouldn't be able to do much if you couldn't experiment. 👍

    @@Coastalvibezz 15 years isn't crazy long certainly not short don't get me wrong but it's not long enough to act like it's weight you can throw around to lend credibility to your claim, especially when you say it to someone with more years than you. With that said, with 15 years in graffiti im dissapointed you dont see how silly your comment is because just 1 year in is enough time for anyone to know people normally put a tag, and crew next to their wild styles and any of that is normally easy enough to read to identify the individual. If 1 single writer did 10 wild styles, with tags next to it then that's more than enough for anyone, even a middle schooler to figure out what that person writes.
