The can control part is so funny lmao 😂

The MAILPOUCH TOBACCO classic mural on I84 was gorgeous. Covered up and then retagged.

Great video. I'm basically with you. Graffiti on long abandoned buildings, overpasses, trains, can look pretty cool.

As a kid growing up in NYC in the 80's, the street art was impossible to not be captivated with, It was the golden age of elborate and flashy wall tags. Ultra stylized tags still kinda rule the street art word. At same time I'm lucky I survived NYC in the 80's🙂

Classic graffiti

early, quiet mornings searching for hidden gems (no matter what they are) is the best!

I84 West, the rail yard wall. There's so much good stuff there.

Graffiti is awesome I just hit the 405 the other night on sum colt 45 non stop throwie stylin💥 dollar fills, loop outlines and nyc fat caps is all you need 💎

your content is really well put together!!!!

mo money! mo money!

Gotta love it!

I am russian. was painting alot back in 2005-2015. all i want to say your styles is so different to ours. pretty intresting.

I just watched the Chaos Town episode where Monk6 made that.

10/10 graffiti

Down in Honolulu, Keolu skate park has some fabulous grafiti.

Vlog’n graff 😂

Honestly I enjoy looking at the graphs I think we should focus on the drugs and homeless problems

i hope they font paint over the big stuff like the mf doom tribute.2:55

solid video man

Wear a respirator mask guys! You'll feel alot better when you get to be 40...

You’re weird... makes this video so enjoyable. The calm voodoo donut excursion was a great way to break up the video lol. Love it bro, keep up the good work!

I used to work at Gordon's Fireplace shop. I hated talking to customers when I was high as balls on meth. They fired me for being late twice. I explained to the lady that I was trying be sober and that was why I slept through my alarm clock.

If they buff the graffiti the graffiti artists will come back because its a new canvas

sick vid man

U should cone to LA n make a graffiti video esoecially the new downtown LA graffiti Towers

They should make it Legal. that will lower tagging by kids who do it because its quick illigal and no one really gets arrested by it. Do a festival, and make some walls legal graffiti walls. This makes it less desireble to do it somewhere else too. Also, yeah Grey concrete walls are pretty...sigh...

I’ll bet you didn’t know that all graffiti in PDX started with “TRUST HESUS”. I don’t who this MF was but it was everywhere. In all stretches of the city I’d say early 80’s… Then it just. Stopped. Must’ve been some homeless dude who died but it was a good five year thing

What's up Findlay fam, where you get that hat??

As a skater, graff artist tend to jump the gun alot of the time on DIY projects out here in ny and get them blown out :/ i love graff and its influences, but sometimes its a nucence, i bet graffers feel the same way back at us skaters though,

My city did something really clever. On hotspots were a lot of graffiti was done they just mate there own Artwork over it. They mate aweseom charcters or backgrounds like flowers or a oceaon. It takes the city a week or two but becouse they take there time and paint something butiful over it nobody sees it as graffiti but art and nobody dares to go over it with a throwy or even a decent pice. That just the graffiti rule dont cross.

great video. love voodoo too. portland throwing more money at the problem doesn’t help at all in my opinion. most artist i know do graffiti as a rebellion against capitalism. the irony of throwing money at a much deeper problem makes me laugh

You wanna late night perspective, lmk I’ll tag you tagging with me.

yo sup dogg fuck yea graffiti is freedom of speech i also support skateboarding and skate myself i can only kickflip and ollie right now I love the sound of skateboards no sound better SHADY FWS

4 mil? 😂 Theres much more issues to spend they money on and put towards. Stupid move. Oh his arms cut off? Let's fix his finger 🙄

It would behoove the city to actually take those spots and allow for mrual/purposeful graffetti. I'd presume it'd have to be preapproved work or whatever, make sure it's nothing offensive or whatever. Tagging though is egocentric and in other cases, gang related, territorial stuff. Painting over it is the dumbest thing imaginable. Even our school salmon mural was a utilization of very narrow concrete barriers down the hillside. Concrete is ugly, fill it with nature, native plants, and artwork that isn't just trashy. There's a lot of trashy work in portland but there's also a fair amount of good work, and it's the good work that shows what it could be if someone bothered.

I think there's a big difference between art murals, graffiti art, and tagging. I have a very good friend--Codex Urbanus--who is one the more well-known graffiti artists in Europe and he explained/showed me the differences. To me, tagging just seems to be someone who has an oversized ego letting everyone know he/she is there. Art is different. There's a street in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris, Rue Dénoyez, that is strictly dedicated to graffiti art, art on the walls of all the buildings along the entire street. The art on the walls of the building that hosts the once-a-month Portland Night Market in the summer has very nice art on it. It's hard for me to tell if it's contracted or graffiti. Kinda looks like both. You make some very interesting points in this one. Thanks.

Its corrupt obnoxious, selfish and nothing says "i dont care about anybody but myself" more than grafiti. Just makes everything look like blight. Obviously some of them are talented. Why dont they take that talent and energy and create something that the whole community can appreciate?

i drive by all these everyday i recognize alot of the writers

Grafitti is vile and ugly. It’s a sign of how low society has fallen when this vandalism is looked upon as “art”. Thanks.

Griffiti sucks it’s trashing a once beautiful city.

Youre in Portland? You dont even sound gay though. strange.
