I really got into graffiti because of an article in the papers about New York graffiti. I remembered the picture of the Merry Christmas whole car from Seen and Jason. Stuff that excites me is the illegal aspect of writing, getting chased by the cops. Climbing over walls to get to your trains at 2 at night. Doing a burner and then the most exciting moment of all when you see the flashing colors of your train pass by in bright daylight.
Negative things are stoopid guys who are wannabees, who claim to do everything.
Getting caught by the cops ain't such a good idea either. Coming home at 6 in the morning and your girlfrend is still awake ain't that fresh either. My trip to New York has been and will always be the biggest influence of graffiti on me. T-kid, Shame, Mack, Pure and Noah. Some people say European writers paint alone more than writers in the US do.
