graffiti writers

"yes i know your name, but whats your message?" -GosteOner

ive recently removed some ppl from my facebook due to their lack of talent and their undeserved sense of accomplishment. we all start at the same point in art and i respect that fully. yes it takes practice and determination to develop ur very own "identity" as an artist, but its the ppl who feel content doing the same nothing that get to me. as a graffiti artist i feel its easier to get caught up in the hype, to do things the same as every1 else to gain acceptance. ive always hated this, which is why my art is barely even considered graffiti in most cases. but thats quite alright with me. now im not being a fag and saying "break the mold fuck mainstream", but if ur going to force urself to walk in circles and be happy with not getting anywhere, then there really isnt any reason for me to be watching u is there? i watch ppl so i can see them grow, and apply my leanings on how I can grow myself. im guilty of the things i say, but that was in my early artist days, im not still doing the same thing without change or progression.

so to make it simple, and this doesnt just apply to graffiti writers, develop who YOU are and strive to grow urself before u become a meaningless robot who keeps shouting out his or her own name. whats more important than ppl knowing ur name is what ppl think when they hear it.
