I’m an artist, and i’ve always really admired graffiti art especially- i love finding the small stuff hidden around my town. I want to make a comic that really draws out the crucial depth graffiti brings out in cities, (and maybe i wish i had the balls to actually go out and do my own stuff) so these types of videos are just double the inspiration for me
everyone always wants to hate on the D. Thanks for showing how great it is. Detroit takes in the worlds artists and hard workers, run down souls and no gooders. we love them all, and together they will make a better place to live than most in america. detroit is a great place to be. RIP DIlla and RIP NEKST
Mitchgill12 So many amazing artists from there, and music is still pumping out like it has been for decades, it's just more underground like Griz and Gramatik. Who I know has been blowing up, I just saw Griz at Red rocks in Denver a month ago. Let me in on some good hometown music, and I will do the same. (:
you ever stop and wonder if the old masters like michelangelo used to paint on the walls? I have a feeling their most expressive works were covered over
Never say I can't draw like that anyone can do it all you gotta remember is they were all toys at one point but practice and dedication takes you a long way
I was like 20 minutes into this when I realised that I already saw some of those pieces - Great Documentary and the accents really made me laugh - as a fellow german native speaker.
@@ironlakcdn7349 yeah, I know that gallery manager Jesse and have painted some walls he's put together in some areas on the northwest side. They're pretentious as fuck lol. Like definition of true hipster shit. I didn't even know detroit was in this doc. It's sad they don't highlight any real local writers lmao. Just "LOOK WHAT I BROUGHT NYCHOS" 🤣 That's two of my crew members at 31:00 It's also a felony now to paint illegally there. Rich people bringing in a ton of money now
This documentary not only misses the mark on the origin of the culture (like one of the artists claimed that urban art started in the mid-90s). Yerp, Style Wars is still the documentary to watch.
@@hairystyles4212 art student stuff really. Not bombing at all. Unless you doing traditional throwies just to wreck shit, it’s all just color by numbers at this point. And I’ve been writing since ‘83.
normally graffiti docus are boring but this is great, interesting stories good cinematography cool non rockstar people, and even great song selection BIG UP
Wait till the end around 1:38:32 and hear one of the most dopiest and invigorating speeches ever. Real inspirational makes me want to go right out and punk rock all over my skate board while huffing cans, breaking more than all the rules. I wanna break the system too with my Iron Maiden t-shit on and get invited to all the cities painting pretty murals life on the edge
I would love to do this in my city. I live in the Bronx and I see places all over White Plains Road where i could paint some really nice shit but I'm not one to look for trouble either and there are always NYPD everywhere. I'm gonna loom into how i could get some street space to pal t legally if thats at all possible. 😎
Just get a can of paint or some paint markers and go crazy, I'm from Brooklyn so I know how it is but if you play your cards right and avoid doing stupid shit then you won't get caught.
@@jeremiahtorres9984 you gave me a good idea. I think I'm gonna go buy some of those paint markers and just carry them in a purse so i can pull them out quickly when I can find a cool spot to paint on the street. Think I'm gonna go out walking around tonight to check it out. Have you or anyone you know ever got caught painting on the street? Just curious what the punishmemt might be if anything ever goes wrong.
@@treschapman3754 I'm not gonna lie to you, nobody is not gonna be suspicious of you just based off the fact that you are a woman. I've never gotten caught and that's because I'm real careful and I don't play and stand around looking suspicious. I paint and get out as fast as I can without drawing any attention, good luck painting just be careful if you see any other writers because they will try and Rob or worse, most of them are drug addict dickheads. If the police catch you then run if you think you can but if not then they will probably toss your can and tell you to fuck off or paint your hands, if they do arrest you the judge will have you do community service. If you are a known writer then they would probably give you 2 years jail time but I wouldn't worry, never talk or admit to anything and ask for your lawyer and you will be okay.
These guys get up early, gather their equipment and hit the streets. Put that energy into building up society , not destroying it. Do your creativity on canvas like the rest of us. Cities spend millions on buffing your work anyhow
Philadelphia is selling poison out in the open like tonnages. They combing after us ehhhhhh more then likely not. They’ll come to jab u with the vaccine first. SYLD
I'm a professional videographer based in the south of England in Andover, If there are any street artists that would like to produce a free documentary on street art please get in touch! - I'm looking to promote this art in a creative way and need a video project to get myself involved with during my spare time.
Most people who hate on legal graffiti are just train painters who are mad that someone can paint something other than throw ups and squiggles letters.
