Imagine a city where graffiti wasn\’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw wherever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a living breathing thing which belonged to everybody, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - its wet.

But first, I gotta make some other eggs to get more points to get my level and point limit up.
Aug 28, 2006 2:46 pm - What do you think of Ecko\’s graffiti game ( i forgot what it was called). I played it at a friends house. It was an aright game, but exagerates the street art scene a little bit...Too much fighting and the whole concept of just putting your tag everywhere is pretty much obsolete, nowadays, it\’s more about making something that looks good. But Marc Ecko is just constantly exploiting street art. That game probably caused a huge rise in tags across cities across the world after kids played it. It\’s just going to turn graffiti into another fashion..it\’s appearing more and more now on clothes and brands...
Aug 29, 2006 11:37 am - See, thats what makes me mad, street art is going to turn into a fad, its not gonna be about the art anymore, its gonna be about little kids running around trying to look cool. Go look at some graffiti forums, there has been a sudden surge of new members after the game came out, using the names that where in the game. Only time will tell.
Aug 29, 2006 1:07 pm - It was a fun game, but i do agree about that it exploited graffiti. and about the group, spread it around to anybody you can please. i want this to actually be a good running group, and not to crash and die like the last few graffiti groups.
Aug 29, 2006 2:07 pm - Hey, I\’m a mod!..will we have a forum? O yeah, and I\’ve met a couple of graffiti artists, in the local skate park and on the tube tracks, and none of them use the words in that game..throw up and all that stuff..and there proffessionals.
Aug 29, 2006 7:54 pm - i dont mean words, i mean like names from the game, i actually saw kids trying to pass off tags from the game as there own. i don\’t doubt that its a good game, but ehh, you get the picture.
Aug 30, 2006 5:22 am - I\’ve never heard anyone in London say throw-up.here they call em chromers, even if its another colour. An there\’s this gy going around taggin \"D-coy\&quo ; but he\’s not that bad.
Aug 31, 2006 1:54 pm - i\’ve heard the word chromers used before, but i never questioned what it was, so i didnt know till now. oh, and sorry bout not comin on the site much. school just started and im workin so i dont get much of a chance to stop in.
Sep 22, 2006 12:47 pm - Ignore that, i was jus seein if it wud let me comment.
R&B asked me what type of graff i do. I do tag, piece, throw and stencil. Mainly throwies cause they’re big n quick. I done a few stencils but i make em outta card n usually throw em away the night i use em. I need one of those exacto knifes or w/e cause stanley knifes shizt.
Oc 16, 2006 7:20 pm - sorry, i’ve been real busy lately. this is the first time i’ve signed on since...probably...july. i dont do stencils or stickers or any of that shit. mostly throwups, i’m tryin to get into some more complicated lookin shit.
