Writers: Artists or Vandals?

" First of all it's not even called graffiti, it's writing. Graffiti is some social term that was developed (for the culture) some where in the 70's" (IZ THE WIZ)

KRS-One once said, "you've gotta have style and learn to be original". True writers have always followed this Hip Hop code of practice, despite this their creative output has been (and often still is) misinterprented, misunderstood and misrepresented.

It's time to bring funky, fresh styles and skills back to the forefront.

On a daily basis, across the planet talented & passionate individuals show the Universe that the ever-evolving culture of Style Writing / Aerosol Art is a positive, powerful & personal artform fuelled by intelligent, creative people who will continue to expand their inner abilities into their external expressions. Bear witness.......
