ok. for those of us that know who maniulla really is and have been influenced by him, can you leave a short parograph or whatever about how manilla has influenced you and the rest of the graffiti world. i'm looking especially for comments from you misia!

the reason i need this is because i'm trying to write an essay on pretty much the same thing for art class. my teacher wants us to write a long ass essay about an artist that has influenced us and the world of art and that person's style of art. i figured i'm use manilla because he's brought soo damn much to these boards, he spends a lot of time helping other writers develope, he's always got dope flix and tips. that and he's got mad skill. manilla's really given me a lot of insight on the graffiti world and i hope to meet him someday..

manila was an inspiration for me i think well when i started i was pure toooyyyyy and i think if manila and a few other writers werent on here i still coulda possibly been toy or maybe not have even writen anymore ... most likely one of the first peices i saw were ones he posted up on here ... he reviewed my newb pics and gave me pointers along with many other writers on this board but they have all been influencial in the biggest way some one posting on a forum can be (which i dont think is alot but still)

MMM wassup with you guys and manila?

But anyways he is a realy chill and kool guy. He is the type of guy who watch's your back all the time specialy when it comes down to paint. there are several times where he put his life on the line to make sure i got away. even though I think he is dope he always seem to put him self down saying he's wack and by the look in his eyes you can tell he is not joking. The funny thing to is he never sketch's only once in a great while and when he goes out its always fresh and crazy. His way of thinking kind of gets you some times about the game. You would belive in something and when he talks its like you start thinking extra hard and belive what he feels. Its crazy!!!!!

Manilla = never gave me help cuz i didnt deserve it, still madly inspirational with his work. Im suprised he doesnt sketch much actually - all his blackbook ish is hot, better then anyone else here by far. Hes close to legendary in my books, and thats saying the least. Definite props go this cat

BTW - how are u gonna write an essay based on all this ish?
