black tibby i think you got me wrong. i am not the kid going around tagging houses and writing swear words. i mainly stick to places that do little damage but get lots of recognition. like rooftops of buildings downtown, abandoned warehouses, bridges and underpases.

and i agree its immature. like my mom says "stick to your art book". but when you draw something cool you have this urge to see what it looks like really big against a freight train or a wall of some sort. and its not airbrushing because it will be dont with spray paint cans, in a traditional style of graffiti.

and i cant clean up my post because this website does not allow me.

and like optimoprime has said, its an art for the down troden. i live and have lived in terrible places. the neighbor hood i grew up in in toronto was so bad they have now torn it down. the neighbor hood was called regent park, its canadas first and largest housing project. then from there i moved to a neighborhood called "jane and finch" its named after the intersection of jane and finch because thats where all the shootings tend to take place. in those neighborhoods, it seemed like you had 2 choices, go deal drugs and shoot people, or try to stay out of trouble and do your own thing. im an artist so i started doing my own thing. and being the only white kid in those neighborhoods make it alot harder too.

Regardless of your sob story, do it right or people are going to say "dude, he spraypainted the inside of his car".

im all about subtle. i wouldnt want it to look like graffiti from outside the car really.

that being said, i think it would look awesome if you did it very stealthy, only really noticeable by somebody who knows it's there, but able to be recognized as graffiti when somebody who doesnt know what it is actually examines it. like something with a glossy black base, navy blue graffiti lines, and a slight gray outline, all smoked over with nightshades and clear coated like glass.

that would look amazing if done well.


ditto to that idea on the exterior of the car as well.

fully agree with tibby01. Subtle and hidden, but when you look close its clearly there. Like dark dark or holographic silver, or maybe just black with a light glitter that you can only see at an angle. I say go for it if its discrete.
