How to graffiti
It made me 
"dope"
How I did it: I've been a writer for a few yrs now. I have to say that doing graffiti is in part is about the xhiliration of doing something "illegal" and getting away with it. But more than that, it is an art form.
Anyone that is a true writer knows that graffiti is all about your letters. The sicker your style is the more you are respected.
It's a culture thing. When someone looks at your piece they dont know your skin color, what "social class" you are, what you listen to or what you wear. All they know is a name thats attached to a style(s). Those who are dedicated to the culture aspire avidly to pursue that creativity to new levels. New styles and new colors.
Graffiti is not about taking a can to a wall and writing "fuck you". That is not art. A lot of writers are actual art students who have a appreciation and knowledge for colors and shapes and how they work. Others are artistic individuals who took an interest and found it rewarding as a form of expression.
That is what graffiti is, its a form of expression. Some good some bad but its a dedication to the art. It takes a lot to go out at night and climb over fences or tracks to get to that one perfect spot, throwing up a piece and hope that it doesn't get painted over next day.
Lessons & tips: Read a little before you do it. Get the right equipment and know your location. Preferable time is night time.
Resources: Cans, Mops, Stencils, Etc.
