No graffiti lettering? To deprive the bronx of the very font type it produced in many forms relayed to the globe seems to promote segregation between gallery artists and graffiti artists which pushes hate between groupsets meaning work gets dogged. Aside from the above tag seems like a really positive movement but id just say remember the roots, tag and similar project are the future thats for sure but never forget where you came from.. One love and respect from the uk
As much as I respect his project and his cause, I still find the no graffiti lettering a drawback and even discouraging for me to participate. But again he's from The Bronx and he has his reasons! I'm not from The Bronx, in fact I'm not from NYC or even The United States but I go there from time to time!
Hey guys i really loved this im a 21 yr old artist in the bronx born and raised, I've never really did graffiti but it always impacted me. If things like this are still happening please message me i have that passion that i seen in all of your eyes
Dope love the Art thats funkeeee! I like he put Crazy Legz up real recognize real and Crash was involved. Put some graff in it too thats the authentic Bronx style!!!
I use to not want that label either but it's an artist that encompasses alot and can accomplish his vision .regular artist don't get that power that street artist do because it's tough only a street artist does so much and continue until old age ,and get money too .some artist limit they're art by not understanding more that canvases on a wall trying to sell it .it doesn't but when you embedded in the fabric of life .it might not be about yhe big bucks .but you'll get to help business grow and represent the culture .keeping it alive and inspire others .I learned alot from the magazines showing the murals .I would walk for miles just to buy it before the internet. It help me grow.learned about how to be really dope not just an" artist "we out grew the word art 🤣surreal
Off the charts brother, Thank-you from Disco, Chicago writer paying tribute to NYC's writer Disco R.I.P! Quick question, what's the name of where did you get that protection you bounced off the wall?
Woa... NO GRAFFITI LETTERING ALLOWED? Your "Brand-Name/Acronym" is T.A.G., by taking that out of the equation, you're literally subtracting so much of the soul of what you call "Street Art"!!! I thought what you're doing is cool. I loved the "Detroit Beautification Project" as well. World-wide Artists came together. They didn't have that "NO GRAFF-LETTERING" clause though. Being someone who started out writing well over 2 decades ago, & also doing work proffesionally, I love the art you're doing & recongnized artists that I like, know & respect. I just don't understand why you'd take the essence away... & with no solid reasoning behind it..? I just can't understand why you would'nt want some of these writers/artists to have more freedom, at the least the freedom to paint letters. I understand this is legal street murals, but I see plenty world-wide that still include letters. Not all obviously, but many! Other than THAT... what you're doing is dope!
I think that doing street art without lettering as an option is ok, but Im with you when it comes to not ALLOWING lettering is not embracing the Bronx essence of Graffiti and is basically agreeing with others that the lettering of graf is a negative thing when it is in fact not. If he is not a graffer and he is a an artist then it would make sense. But that leads us to this fact: hes taking space away from great graffers and down playing graf just by not allowing the lettering. Hes Using a positive thing and saying the other positive thing is not positive. That's what he did here. I may be wrong. I respect his art and passion. But that's how I see it and don't respect how he down played letters. There's a lot of productions with letters that are great pieces of art. - Yours truly VEDONE, UW, TDK, FT Bronx NY. From the 90s!
At least they called it what it is still can't respect stensilers if you can get the basics in a week i ante intrested but we all uses paint so can learn something there.
