Street Artist Proposes on Subway Signage
Here's an amusing video of various old school graffiti artists explaining the art of the fill-- a quickly executed outline piece. While some consider the fill (like the tag) inferior to more complex graffiti pieces like the full-car subway burner, the bombers in this video argue the opposite: that the fill is really the embodiment of graffiti perfection. It's interesting stuff. [Related: Getting Up from Atari-- possibly that's where this video comes from, since it features a bunch of the same artists. Also check out 149st's graf glossary.]

f*cking criminals. i'd love to do a full "burner" on their car.
i'm not really a fill fan, too little originality in each piece, too much trying to just put your name out there
So is 50% of the Gothamist archive going to be about graffiti?
OMFG, we're sooo hardcore and part of a scene!! Gothamist should do a piece on kids that have to work to support their education and family instead of hyping tagging.
Don't get me wrong, I like to see the city tagged too. It just seems overglorified here.
I'm going to be 31 in may, havent done any graff in ten years since getting arrested (for piecing, not tagging), spending a night in jail, and doing 100 hours of community service at the courthouse. I must say though, despite the risks, I have been itching to don my black hoodie and jeans, fill my bag up with paint and hit the streets in the middle of the night again...
sp,
please post your address and, if you have a car, the license plate number so the readers of this board can show you how much we appreciate your work.
thanks.
you can find me at your mom's house
wow – you're very clever. no wonder you're a 31 year old guy who wants to "don a black hoodie and hit the streets in the middle of the night". i'm guessing that you don't have much a reason – like a job – to get up the next morning.
douche.
Guys! WHO THE FUCK CARES?! Every single god damn post about graffiti on Gothamist gets about 40+ comments from the kids who tag versus the people who hate them. It's the same argument over and over and over and over and over again. WE'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. Leave it alone for once, jesus fucking christ.
"f*cking criminals. i'd love to do a full "burner" on their car."
hahahahahahahahahahaha fukin baby. Maybe you should go tell the constable.
I make 100K a year, dipstick.
Did anybody actually watch the video? I just did. Stupid as hell. Someone should tell these people it would have been a better idea to graduate high school.
