Admittedly, I stopped taking you seriously after you said "blud", but this just sealed the deal.

You must be about 14, right?

If you can do better than OE, prove it in paint, if not, keep your trap closed. You want respect? Earn it.
Starting meaningless beef won't get you anywhere.

Dub, or simple letters (as specified) are under the finger. And there are four colours, not five: red, yellow, pink and black. And characters, as mentioned in the rules, are included. But why argue? It's Fry Day!

I wouldn't class samsevers as a dub, and in the rules it said 4 colours max - his/hers has at least 5..

This supposidly ""beast steez"" is exactly the reason, when i travel abroad, not 1 writer has a clue about Scotland, their is no scene in Glasgow, an ok but full of toy scene in Edinbourgh, with the true artist's being shunned. and we wont talk about Dundee, since the only deceant writers are the skinnycap co and older writers now vanished, who do rock the real deal, allbeit a bit older... ok a lot oler than most.

The fact of the matter is, so many writers are blinded by the popular shit going around, no1 will really be honest, i take part in these , not for fun, or to win, or even for the practise. i participate because i want to see if you riters, can take a word, sketch it up, then without others knowning, instantly recognise the riter's style!!

Throughout all things done so far, Dime and Mr Ko stand out. everything else is a blur of mistakes, and bad style! i see very little letter structure, compasition and flow!

now by all mean's, i do not want to start beef, mainly because it would be pointless.

i hate saying this, but AKME and ESTM are the truest writers in Glasgow, along with some others i wont name.

for this 1 beautiful fact, they paint everything, they travel to put ther name up, they know their style!

now i for 1, disagree with AKME for the fact, he does the same thing over, and over and over etc. and his sheer arrogance! but until wee boys learn to respect the older, more well accomplished artist's, nothing will change!
Fuck, forget age actually i know a fresh 18y o who could most likely rule Glasgow in a day, for nothing more than his style! not how any scribbly tags he has in every area of Glasgow, or his total commitment to what he does, or even the subways he's done, the steel he has done!

but yet, because, the ""popular"" kids in Glasgow think by destroying the town, it mean's their gods...
no!

never!

take fotolog for the biggest example yet!

i only know of 2, maybe 3 fotologs belonging to Glaswegian's!

the rest are their to suck arse and try and get respect from spanish people, and other foreigners for bad dubs, terrible handstyles and crew names, haha, and let's not forget random train photo's that try to be cool, as if too say ""hey guy, look at meee, ive had 7mins alone with an SPT"" doesn't mean shit! yet a lot of people go on and on and on about steel, it's madness! i have an account, a show some photo's from my life, some intresting, others very. now i see some half assed bullshit on a toy's flog, and because he has 13comments, 7 from his little girlfriends, 2 from random writers just saything thanks for the comment and the rest from the spanish/cuban's/argintine's. and they think they are the bee's knees...!

well your not, it just briing's a bad name to Glasgow, and an even worse name to the riters who are truely in it for themselves not the kudos, or the ""am amazing, i tagged an eletricoo boxx""
""yassss"" ""beest"" ""steezin"" ""fuck'in smart/class..... or even ""sick""

the only thing im sick of, is toys with an attitude!

and flapping gums.


feel free to comment, or even ask y i forced myself to type all of this. or the enevitable... try to judge!

and i do feel it belongs here in this thread, because this right here guys, is a battle, that we are all losing.

ciao!

im being harsh at all, maybe slightly cold. but it's better thn lying and saying some badly constructed sketch is nice, when ppl cud offer advice.

dont give a fuck about your style, or your sketches

do as you please with your style

everything else is a blur of mistakes, and bad style! i see very little letter structure, compasition and flow!

in reply to Hector : only things on this site by me, are the sketches, and yea i include myself, i dont put the effort into them, but i dont have to, anything i sketch, usually goes up on a wall, or onto other things a few days later, but with these battles, i know im not painting them!

it's not up to me too compare myself to any1 on this site!
But i don't feel im being harsh at all, maybe slightly cold. but it's better thn lying and saying some badly constructed sketch is nice, when ppl cud offer advice. Which is something else i don't comment on, graffiti is about you as a person, so y shud other peoples input affect the way you look at it??
for example what i said earlier. you could all choose to read it and think about what's going on in Glasgow, or you could simply moan at me, or tell me too open my eyes like im some kind of stoned chinese man...

and too Cuntagious : i said, those certain people where pulling everything off, not just 1 thing, then in a few months something new.
and a lot of people in glasgow have style, syfo, soka, poer, aeos, wait and skem especially to name a few!

and i dont mention the other names because unlike some people, we like to keep our business to ourselves, not showboat everything infront of your faces, or on fotolog's!
im sure at somepoint, our stuff will be shown, but for now we decline to put photo's in magizines, apart from photography because glasgow has been infested with fad hungry toy's!
i can promise you, if any1 who uses this site regualry went through half the shit ive been through for graaff, they wouldnt keep going.

but you think painting a wall now and again, or a skatepark is worthy of respect, them mehh. who am I too judge! it takes more than a pretty handstyle and a lot of talk to make yorself an known!

i dont see myself king, or a head of anything, i barely even see myself as part of the glasgow scene, mainly because trains dont run, and the buff get your wall covered within 2weeks! so few are able to see the stuff that get's done.
my eyes are open, i see tags from people i know, the same outlines and ags all up and down town, and round the exiting area's, but nothing makes my head turn, it's like im repeating when i first began, only i know who to look out for, and who are just scummy arseholes with nothing but envy and contempt, other just bite and the rest try to get up. in some way's Glasgow is like Warsaw, only their's more wannabe hooligans and riters over here.

but by all mean's tell me im wrong...

but i think you should open your eyes and actually look at the fundamentals for graffiti.

now do excuse the rant's children, im off work for several days and ave so far drank myself sober, and it's party time, then holiday time.

but dont start the highhorse material because my opinon is a valid 1. ive seen the Glasgow graff scene for the last 5years anyone else been constantly involved for 5years? without ""taking a break"" ""or chilling for a while""

at no point did i say any1 was claiming king....

why lie to some1 when they should be told it's bad, why let them embarrass themselves, why not be honest, but with a non- negitave spin on it. unlike pc who just throw's a dictionary of bullshit at people.
for the purpose of unique style, it takes a fuck load of trying different thing's, so far all ive seen is lies, any1 on this with half a sense of style and an eye for real art, know's what im talking about!
