Wow, lots of grafittis.

>> ^EMPIRE:

Those are not police officers, they're probably the maintenance workers who have to clean up the shit he just did.
That's probably a public transport. I'm fine with grafitti artists painting on the walls of rundown buildings and whatnot, specially if the artist is good. This is pure vandalism, and everyone pays for it. Not to mention that it's awful taking a ride on a train with painted windows. At least stick to the body of the train only.


yeah and his running form is pathetic!

Or maybe try to paint something besides your fucking tagger handle. I swear to god, all the little pricks that run around writing their name on shit like so many little chihuahuas pissing. I saw a tag the other day that said "Pac Man". The "artist" actually even did draw something next to his name this time: a little retarded looking, sort-of half-impression of Pac Man. Seriously... what kind of an inbred, dumbshit, screw up do you have to be to not be able to draw Pac Man???

the painting Banksy did on Robbo's grafitti under the bridge or whatever, was a major improvement. His art is so damn grafitti-generic. No wonder he slapped Banksy, he must feel jealous of his fame.
edit: that and robbo's grafitti was in a really bad state.

Conversations with Choggie
I promised below that if I got another abusive email from choggie, I would post the entirety of "conversation" we had after his ban, which was around may 5th. Here it is.

He is ignored and blocked from my email from now on.

No drama, no more conversation. It's over. That last repeating part was also in the emails, in case someone wonders.

Y'know dickweed?? Yer a fucking pussy who does not know HOW to have a conversation in real-time with a human being. You simply make comments on the VS and imagine yourself clever based on the little clique's response....You are unwilling, not incapable of understanding. I don't care about you lack of awareness either-I use putzs like yourself as a barometer for the world's social dysfunction-You fucking tit-grabbing, raised on porn little, shit talking faggot.

Good luck as a fucking software putz. You are bound to become fatter, more uncomely, and diseased in the profession of your choosing...that of sitting in a computer chair most of your fucking life.

I don't even know why I bother to try to help socially dysfunctional asshats.....You rate about a fucking 7.6 on the 1-10 scale.....Fucking douchebag-wannabee twit.

Hah, you must really miss the sift, so you can get your bile out there. I'm far better at holding a conversation than you are, as clearly evidenced in the diatribe below. YOU need to grow the fuck up. I am not unwilling to "understand" it's just that you have nothing worth understanding.

Now, go away. I don't care about your opinions, I don't care how you measure me, I don't care anymore that you only can get people to react to you, by insulting them. It's sad really, but it's not my problem, it's yours.

Good bye.

Let me oblige you, drama queen. First, here's your response-

"Hah, you must really miss the sift, so you can get your bile out there. I'm far better at holding a conversation than you are, as clearly evidenced in the diatribe below. YOU need to grow the fuck up. I am not unwilling to "understand" it's just that you have nothing worth understanding.

Good bye.-Nikki"

Now a point by point-First-Litter my dead account with grafitti-Tattle-tail, tattle tail, hang yer britches onna nail...It's indicative of the immature and vindictive to tell others of the invisible bully -Tell the big people so they will fight your battles for you-You can't seem to handle any confrontation, or observations that don't make you feel warm and fuzzy......Hard to experience acceptance i the real world, butyou internet buddies with nothing to lose, will rush to your defense.

You've never held a conversation with me Hanson, on the contrary...you tend to nut the fuck up when reading concepts foreign to you. A sign of developmental disability. Insulting you? Perception baby-Never desired to do so, every time I chose to enter into conversation with you, you ran the fuck away....(Quite the bith to have yer shit shoved up your ass-Dish out and unable to take? Perhaps.

No, dumb-ass, Unless you call "abuse" the one fucking e-mail....yer a drama sponge, it's understandable...you can't help it would seem. Maturity comes with wisdom. (Grow a pair, nancy)

And here...so you have the original email to post for all to see.....how bout do it inna blog that's not un-editable by me-In fact, I'll make it simple for ya-I shall request that the admins eliminate my entire account, dead as it is, so the very memory of someone you are incapable of responding to, can't upset your perfect, fantasy world.

Choggies one email to gwiz665-

I think you're the one living in a fantasy world, where you can say anything you want to anybody without consequence. My message on your profile was not aimed at you, but at the people who worship you as some sort of golden calf and who obviously haven't seen you being a cockmunch, like you are - yet again - in this reply.

The first real conversation we had was when you approached me on google chat about the peggedbea shit, and YOU were the one who ran away from the conversation. If you can't hold a conversation without dicking people around, it's not worth it to have a conversation with you. Ever since then, I've just not wanted to engage.

YOU are the one who keeps the conversation going, You are the one seeking the drama, I don't want it, I never wanted it. Me posting on your banned user's profile was a message to your legions, not you. I don't care about you.

"You are incapable of responding to" Hah, it's pathetic. You haven't made a single cogent argument. You just spout bile and nonsense and it's tiresome.

I don't care whether or not your user is on there anymore. Frankly, it's dead and gone either way.

If I end up posting these mails I will post them all and in their entirety, not just the one you want me to. I don't expect it to come to that though, since I hope our communication ends with this.

Get over yourself and move the hell on.

Would you be so kind as to erase your graffiti from my dormant account's profile? Seems a shame that the last comment to date on my hi-jacked former profile for all to see is a snipish, ego-compromised, spoiled brat quip from a petty little douchebag in training-
Oh and, why not make good on your promise to be a good little fascist and post these "abusive" emails you are getting from dickwad for all your little dickless minions of similar simple minds to see?

Of course, you may want to edit it for content that does not offend your delicate fucking sensibilities-
Thank You in advance-

what.

Someone edgefinds or sponge filters or whatever this is, and it gets sifted?

I think www.smashingmagazine.com has a tute for the scanner darkly effect.

Like, THIS monstrosity is a photoshop filter that was included back in 97 and no one used it because it was so ugly.

Back in 92 you could get away with this effect if you where a grunge alternative band on a low budget who needed something rough and unpolished for MTV.

This is the video version of drawing spider man using the grafitti tool in MS Paint.

This is the video version of playing the audio from the trailer with a "sci-fi" filter on it.

And it got sifted.

what.

I live in Sao Paulo.
It´s great that Joao, whom I went to school with, is doing such an antropological work.

Bottom line is: it´s a damned eye sore.

I respect grafitti. Sao Paulo is full of paintings and drawings done on walls. But pixação, i.e. mere tagging, is something else entirely.

Okay, taggers, we acknowledge you exist. And yes, as you planned, we hate you.

I can't wait 'til every nitwit sees this movie and thinks they have experienced Watchmen. It's like reading Citizen Kane, the comic book. Can we stop filming every decent thing that has ever been written please?

Very first sign of the dumbing-down of the story even further than the bare translation. "Watchmen are finished"... There are no "watchmen" in the comic. The only reference to that word is in a grafitti slogan that is seen tagged around the city. 99% of people who haven't read the comic think the movie is about a super-team called "The Watchmen". Fucking retards.

I dunno.. that intro sequence had me expecting something a lot more advanced. This looks like a couple DLP projectors and some 3d animation built around the geometry of the target surface. Cool, but not as cool as that 3d neon grafitti into the intro sequence.
