if you do wanna bitch out tho. google search "graffiti creator" or "mr wiggles". girls think it's cool, but really it's weak as fuck and no writer will ever respect you for it.
letters: grote, the battle between thick and thin in your piece works itself out in a great way. Iom, i didnt think this was gonna be much of a fight for you, but this kid's coming up quick. I'd have to say Iomek's would look better on a wall tho.
color: grote the fades are better than i have seen done with markers in years
overall: grote. the presentation is just great on this one. I have to say i am biased toward the veterans of the craft, i've never said otherwise so its hard to get me to vote for someone new....you did it this time.
i liked ioms letters more, but i liked grotes colors a lot more, idk, its like bright, smooth, and idk wat else to say to explain it lol, but yea, i think that on this one, my vote goes to grote, good job both!
This was a close one for me but my grote goes to grote mainly for the colours and overall cleanliness. I have to say I prefer iomek's lettering but the better markers won here in my eyes. In other news.. Im gonna get killed cos me markers suck! lol
my vote's going to iom because i'm REALLY not feeling your letters, grote, and to me that overrides the difference in colour. although iom this is far from your best attempt, i'd say.
grote, there's a stack of 3 or 4 thin lines coming off your A that makes the piece look almost jumbled to me, i found it distracting.
vote iom
Think about it, you have writers learning the ins and outs of entire transport systems, risking serious injury even death, arrest and criminal records that would limit your opportunities for the rest of your life, for what? To simply paint a picture, does this seem logical to you? If the answer is no then it is most likely that you dont fathom the idealism behind graffiti.
