</div><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Yes I do, I think its more challenging than some forms of art because it's on an organic surface the artists have to work with the surface and on different surfaces all the time instead of carefully selecting a canvas or type of paper as a painter would.<br />
<br />
Street Art appeals to me more as it is more varied, and interesting and that to me makes good art work.<br />
<br />
Not sure on this, I this graffiti is more of a style that street art, street art can be absolutely anything where as graffiti is primarily spray painting words/pictures.<br />
<br />
Yes it should, people should be able to express their creativity in their environment, there is only so much bad graffiti because street artists are practicing, there should be regulated areas where artists can practice and it can be painted over etc until they are good enough to do art in public spaces.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Rob Garner<br />
<br />
</b>yes i do theres is art in every form even if it isnt using paint or drawing so graffiti is art<br />
<br />
yes i do art can be used from the color of the weat past to the textour of it and the same to stencils as the artistick tallent can be shown from the cutting/ desinging of the stencils and the though prosess of where to put them creating a pice of art<br />
<br />
GRAFFITI as i like the effort that goes into desinghing a pice and painting it and the history behind it <br />
<br />
to the blind eye they can fall into the same thing but they are differnt stlys of art thats like saying is water coloring the same as oil panting in a way they are the same but to an artist they are compleatly differant. using sport is a good exsamlpe saying are footballers the sames as rugby players the answer is no its a diffeant sport BUT they are still both sports men and doing simlar things in in that way they are the same <br />
<br />
graffity should be fine to do but in places that allow it! not on other peoples properlty where it is not nessasarly wanted and this is the same for street art!<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mitch Weaver<br />
<br />
</b>- Originally I don't think the main intention of Graffiti was to even become of form or anything at all. It was a way young people could express themselves at desperate times. Putting your name across as much as you can to give yourself a massive sense of accomplishment and respect. What I think Graffiti boils down to is vandalism but in a much more creative outlook as apposed to straight up criminality. <br />
<br />
Do you class street art as an art form? (Stencils, Wheat pasting, sticker art, video projection, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations.)<br />
<br />
- Of course, it's art on the street. <br />
<br />
Which appeals to you more?<br />
<br />
- Graffiti for sure. I don't have much against street art, I just think it lacks in a lot of respect and originality that Graffiti entails, there isn't much change of style. Anyone can put a stencil up a celebrity and do it. I think the becoming a street artist, you will need to bring something to the streets nobody has ever seen before in order to be known. I hate the look of constant recycled imagery. <br />
<br />
Do you feel they fall under the same classification or should they be recognized as two completely different things? <br />
<br />
- Not at all. Fundamentally they are based on complete different rules, forms of style and respect. Street art is for the masses, where as Graffiti will never be acceptable in the commercial world and that's what makes it so valuable to the people who do it. Expression in a non violent effect to illustrate your view.<br />
<br />
Should Graffiti be accepted by society and be controlled and regulated rather than being classed as a criminal offense?<br />
<br />
- No, it should never be controlled by society. It wouldn't give off the same effect as it should. Nobody should be allowed to control a persons ability to express freely their creative passion. It's just wrong. As far as criminal offense, it can cause problems and ultimately lead to tragedy. This I think makes it what it is. You are breaking the rules and fucking up the system every time. Brilliant.<br />
<br />

<br />
</b>Do you class Graffiti as an art form? (Tags, Pieces, Etching.)<br />
<br />
Yes, Art is explored in very complex manner. Often in very different ways but ultimate share in the fact that they communicate an idea, a theme or a context. Grafitti, in many ways, is seen as an outsider, a form of art that is not often considered to be as meaningful or influential as its more reputable cousins like painting or sculpture for eg. thats because it generally has no context, no theoretical background or underlining meaning, it is what it is. I dont really know tbh.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you class street art as an art form? (Stencils, Wheat pasting, sticker art, video projection, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations.)<br />
<br />
Art is found through form and content. Street art is a legitimate aspect of the art world and is becoming more and more meaningful as we move into the 21st century.<br />
<br />
Essentially, if you have something to say.. why not share it with the world. Art is about communicating ideas, sharing a fascination with colour, shape, texture.. etc. So if its worth showing the world, why not.. That is the essence of street art. <br />
<br />
<br />
Which appeals to you more?<br />
<br />
Street performance art. <br />
<br />
<br />
Do you feel they fall under the same classification or should they be recognized as two completely different things? <br />
<br />
Grafitti can often take the form of art. Is not, however, always so.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Should Graffiti be accepted by society and be controlled and regulated rather than being classed as a criminal offense?<br />
<br />
The only way to control it is to legalise it but then the very nature of what grafitti is lost.<br />
<br />
Should Street Art be accepted by society and be controlled and regulated rather than being classed as a criminal offense?<br />
<br />
It already is, within reason.<br />

</b>In a way yes I think it is art - providing it looks good..<br />
street art is more like art in the sense that it has a purpose and more or less always looks really good<br />
i think street art is much better<br />
hmm 2 different things really.<br />
it shouldn't be considered as a crime as some graffiti is actually decent and makes dull places look good. I think street art should be accepted by society more than graffiti cause lets face it it's better.</span><!--EndFragment--> <br />

There's only a couple of legal walls In Leeds left to paint, So i thought as well as researching some of my favourite graffiti artists why not look on my own doorstep. When getting the train to Manchester I constantly notice "oi, oi" and "mesie" tags, also when I'm driving up in the car I always notice "Demo" and "Crem" tags underneath the motorway bridges, So i was in hope to catch a glimpse of some of their pieces. The thing with a legal wall is that because of it being legal, it is constantly getting painted and re-painted by different artists so the graffiti is always constant and changing.<br />

<b><br />
</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Metropolitan Line AKA The Big Met</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> The <b>Metropolitan Line</b> is part of the London Underground, coloured magenta on the Tube map. It was the first underground railwayy (or subway) in the world, opening on January 10, 1863 (however, parts of that initial section are no longer served by the Metropolitan Line, but by the Hammersmith & City, District and Circle lines). The main line runs from Aldgate in the City of London to Amersham, with branch lines to Uxbridge, Watford and Chesham. For the initial section of the Line the rails are in tunnel for much of the way; beyond Baker Street, at Finchley Road the Line runs in the open.<br />
The four-track layout for part of the distance — between Wembley Park and Moor Park — allows for the running of express or "fast" services to the outer suburbs. Baker Street is the terminus for many trains, but others complete their journeys into the City to either Moorgate (where there are terminal platforms) or Aldgate.<br />

</div>The current rolling stock in use on the Metropolitan Line is the sub-surface gauge A Stock built by Cravens in Sheffield, which is shared between the Metropolitan and East London lines. While it ran in service with unpainted aluminium bodywork for many years, since refurbishment the stock has received the now standard white and blue Underground livery, with red ends. Metropolitan Line services are usually formed of two four-car units coupled together for a total of eight cars, although the Chesham shuttle service and the East London Line are both served by four-car trains.<br />
The A Stock trains were built in the early 1960s and are now the oldest trains operating on the London Underground. They replaced a wide variety of older rolling stock, including trains with hinged doors and compartments (T Stock electric multiple units for Watford services and locomotive-hauled carriages for Aylesbury services), as well as F Stock (built in 1920) used on Uxbridge services.<br />
<br />
<b>Graffiti on the Big Met</b><br />
<br />
The metropolitan Line was one of the first to attract graffiti, the fact that it largely ran above ground and the ease of the rural depots meant it attacted those who wanted to recreate that New York feel. The big seats with large hidden away panels and plenty of empty carriages attracted taggers. Harrow-On-The-Hill station became the logical place to watch your name go by and it wasn't long before a regular writers bench became established at the end of the north bound platforms. There was a rumour on the line in the 80s that Futura had pieced a Big Met at Rickmansworth yard on his visit to London in the early 80s. There was certainly what looked like a faded Futura tag in Rickmansworth under a bridge on the way into the 5's yard. Whether this was true or just a hoax I don't know. The Chrome Angelz member Zaki D also did a Big Met also at Rickmansworth quite early on.<br />

Bode (Vaughan Bode's) underground cartoon characters have been imitated throughout the years and still remain as strong and iconic as they used to be on the side of New York City subways. Some of the characters hes most popular for are "Cheech Wizard" "Deadbone Erotica" and the "Bode Broads."</div><br />

The main product is an extra-permanent kind of ink, renouned as the best on market.<br />
<br />
Its known for being very hard to buff off/remove from surfaces, this is a major attraction for writers who dont want their tags being removed by the council/local authorities. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> Ironlak Is another very well known make of spray paint, I have friends who swear by using it, however I don't have the same appeal to it as they do. They produce cans not only as a form of media but as a collective in itself, tailoring colours to a very fine standard. They are run by the company AVT Paints who were founded in 2002 with the hope of offering the Australian art scene performance at a valued price. In 2004 that dream became reality. With the continued support of affiliates, retailers and most importantly customers they will continue to grow the Ironlak range.</div>Will Cotterillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05975475884053333608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111835763030606804.post-29091336404130717032011-09-19T11:30:00.000-07:002011-09-19T11:30:05.554-07:00How does a Spray Can work?...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/aerosol-can-intro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/aerosol-can-intro.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><ol class="generic" id="intelliTxt" style="font-family: inherit;"><li class="section"> <h2 class="header Heading3"><span style="font-size: small;">Can't Stand the Pressure</span></h2><ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step"><span style="font-size: small;">Inside a spray can is a liquid, usually a paint, deodorant, insect repellent or another liquid. This liquid is pressurized with an aerosol gas. It does not bind or become absorbed in the liquid.</span></div></div></li>
</ul><h2 class="header Heading3"><span style="font-size: small;">Releasing a Little Steam</span></h2><ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step"><span style="font-size: small;">Since the can is under pressure, the contents will escape when there is an opening. In the case of a spray can, there is a nozzle that opens when depressed. The liquid and gas inside the can then escape through this small hole.</span></div></div></li>
</ul><h2 class="header Heading3"><span style="font-size: small;">Destination Evaporation</span></h2><ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step"><span style="font-size: small;">Once the valve is opened, some of the gas inside the can will immediately evaporate. It then carries the liquid with it as it escapes through the nozzle. Since the aerosol evaporates quickly once it hits the air, only the liquid is propelled in small particles. This allows the spray can to distribute the liquid evenly and in a fine mist.</span></div></div></li>
</ul><h2 class="header Heading3"><span style="font-size: small;">Smaller Particles Means a More Even Application</span></h2><ul><li class="step"> <div class="stepMeat"> <div itemprop="step"><span style="font-size: small;">When the liquid is released with an aerosol, it disburses into finer, smaller particles because of the pressure on the liquid and the small size of the nozzle. As the gas expands and evaporates, it can also carry these fine particles farther away from each other. This is how a can of spray paint gives you a more even application and a fine mist-like spray.<br />

Below is a brief explanation off their website describing who they are followed by a video showing how the spray cans are actually made. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mtncolors.com/images/stories/mtncolor/heritage_pic_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://www.mtncolors.com/images/stories/mtncolor/heritage_pic_1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="modhdr" style="text-align: center;"></div><div></div><div class="modctnt" style="text-align: center;">"In 1994 a group of paint industry innovators started a company by doing what their successors at Montana Colors S.L. still do: listening to their customers. What they heard was that brand after brand of spray paint lacked consistency, had become watered down, lackluster and difficult to control. Their answer?<br />
<br />
To design and create spray paint with the artists in mind. The spirit of innovation, determination and commitment to quality manifested itself in the creation of the Hardcore™ brand of decorative coatings for art, home, or industry. Montana Colors has consistently set the benchmark for all "artist" paints and boutique brands to try to match. Today montana Colors serves a global market from their headquarters and 50,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Barcelona Spain."<br />

Same goes for spray can caps, so I've tried to analyze them the best I can Below.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<u><strong>Cap selection and compatibility</strong></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Width: </span>This one's the only one the novice pays attention to. Obviously, it's how wide your line is. The grey dot is the skinniest; the pink dot is the widest. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hardness (or, "sharpness"): </span>This determines whether you have a cap that distributes paint evenly across the line (hard), or one that puts more paint in the center and less paint on the edge (soft). The German caps (outline/pro/fat) are the hardest; the "dot" series is the softest. Also, the closer you hold your can to the surface, the harder the line gets. A black dot from 6 inches looks mighty soft, from 1 inch you get a much sharper line.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Weight:</span> This is how much paint comes out. If a cap is too heavy, drips become more likely, but if it is too light, the colors beneath may show through. The brand of paint you use with your cap also makes a big difference--some paints can be light and drippy (really cheap brands often are) and some paints can be heavy and still not drip (Montana). But, all else being equal, the heaviest caps are the needle caps (we don't even carry these, they're so bad); Rusto Fats and Orange Dots are on the heavier side while the grey, black, and gold dots are probably the lightest.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Compatibility:</span> This makes all the difference. If a cap doesn't work with your brand of paint, then what good is it? Some caps perform very differently depending the brand they're used with. <br />
<br />
</span><div style="font-family: verdana;"><small><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Regularity:</span> Some caps with some brands produce funny non-circular shapes. Among the caps listed above, only blue and gold dots have this problem, and even then, only with certain brands of paint. But the generic caps that come with the cans often have regularity issues.<br />
<u><b><br />
</b></u></span><u><b>Different Types Of Cap<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></b></u></small><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Black Dots. </span> Black Dots are the same as grey dots, but just a little bit wider.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">New York Fat. </span>The New York Fats produce a medium-wide, medium-weight, semi-soft line, much like the New York Thins but slightly broader.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">New York Thin. </span>The New York Thin cap is known by many names. New York Outlines, phantom tips, thins, micros, and skinnies. They are medium-thin, semi-soft, medium-weight. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Orange Dots. </span>Orange dots are fat caps. They are wider than New York and Rusto Fats, and about the same as Silver Super Fats</span></div><div style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pink Dots. </span>Pink dots are the fattest cap available. You can make lines 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in diameter. As you get closer, the weight can get very heavy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><br />

Since coming to university and meeting the people I've met I've become more interested in Graffiti everyday and started to get sucked down the whirlpool of montana cans and on the run pens. A tag is recognized due to the modifications you draw, its all about flow and keeping your tag fresh and original, something somebody would look twice at. <br />
<u><b><br />
Tagging Terminology</b></u><br />
<br />
Gang taggers use "tags" or "scrawling" to mark territory, create notoriety or show off their defiance of the law and society. Gangs use this form of graffiti as a mode of marking their presence. Gang taggers may plan their graffiti or do it impulsively. <br />

Graffiti became a serious part of Dondi's life in the mid 1970s. He tagged using “NACO” and “DONDI”, and worked on refining his style, gradually moving from simple tagging to building more elaborate pieces. Using the name Dondi (a version of his own name) was considered very risky at the time, as the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the New York police were trying to crack down on writers. In 1979, Dondi officially adopted his name when he painted a giant piece on the roof of his house.<br />

<br />
The graffiti writing on trains gave kids an alternative form of communication and widen areas of their culture whilst at the same time causing thousands of pounds worth of damage. <br />
<u><b><br />
Train Terminology<br />
<br />
</b></u></span><span class="copy" style="color: white; font-size: small;"><b>Top to bottoms</b> - This term refers to pieces that cover the top to the bottom of the subway car but not its length.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><span class="copy" style="color: white; font-size: small;"><b>End to ends</b> - as the name implies, these are creations that cover one end of a subway car to another, but not the entire car.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span class="copy" style="color: white; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size: small;"><b>Whole Cars</b> - This is the whole subway car - end to end, top to bottom (including the windows). The first whole car was painted in 1973 by Flint 707, it was doubly amazing because it was also a 3-D piece. The whole car is extensive coverage, it is 20 feet long and 12 feet high, maybe using 20 spraycans, and takes 8 hour or more. So the work would often be shared by groups or 'crews'. Who paints what part of the piece would be divided according to the skill and hierarchial ranking of the writer. The design (outline and colours) would be planned out in advance in writers' "black books" (artists sketch pads; carried everywhere). Because of the vast amount of spray paint needed, the writers would often "rack" (steal) the paint needed to create their artwork.</span><br />
<br style="color: black;" /><br />
As graffiti grew and grew the only way to for the police to control the situation was to take away the one thing that graffiti writers need to be graffiti writers and that's fame. Their motto was "You write it, We'll clean it." <br />
<br />
The article below fully outlines the stages the transit police in New York went to, to try and control Graffiti in the 1980's; <a href="http://www.nycsubway.org/articles/history-nycta1980s.html">http://www.nycsubway.org/articles/history-nycta1980s.html</a>Will Cotterillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05975475884053333608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111835763030606804.post-50411037989501581532011-09-19T08:57:00.000-07:002011-09-19T08:57:34.792-07:00T-KID<div style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">T KID started writing in The Bronx during the mid 1970s. Influences like PADRE provided an excellent foundation for this future style master. By 1979 he was a consistent presence on Broadway (IRT 1 Line). He later expanded to make his mark on the 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 IRT subway lines. <br />
<br />
T KID became famous for his unique lettering and illustration style. In addition to being admired for his artistic ability, in the early to mid 1980s he gained a reputation as being one of the most feared writers of the time. The crew The Vamp Squad of which T KID was a member allegedly robbed and beat many writers who crossed their path. <br />
<br />
This time period was also a creative peak for T KID. He along with writers like BOOZER, KEL 139, SHY 147, RIN and SHOCK 123 created countless wild style whole cars on the IRTs. T KID also produced many paintings for his own crew The Nasty Boys.<br />
<br />
In the late 1990s T KID made a come back on the streets of New York City. He has participated in the creation of many breathtaking murals through out the city.<br />
<br />
T KID's lettering style has influenced many writers both from New York City and across the globe.</span><br />

As already explained further down my blog most prolific graffiti writers who originated in the 60's,70's and 90's all worked in crews or gangs, as it was difficult to execute your work without somebody watching your back. One very well known group of graffiti writers in New York from the late 80's is "The Nasty Boys.'</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
