What's going on everyone my name is Sciz welcome to another episode of our graffiti freight train
watching series where we take a look at all of the great artwork, the awesome graffiti on these
beautiful moving art galleries, if you will, that are really on display for anyone who is
smart enough to take a look at them and so it's a good thing you guys are all here doing exactly
that because we've got a killer little line today to take a look at and we'll get right
into it starting off big we've got a awesome whole car here so this is a 2015 uh we got Tark
nice simple Open tag there
and you know what as i get into it here i'll tell you a little bit more about what we aim to do
in this series a little bit we get to a take a look at just what's going on in
graffiti communities across the continent really which is really really nice oh cool
i believe we saw that particular freight in a past episode that's interesting but it's great
to be able to see you know the tags the throws the pieces of all ages there more than a decade old in
some cases like we're seeing there and just seeing what's going on in these graffiti communities
and a lot of times learning from it as well. one of the things i always say is i really encourage
everyone to come out and take a look at pieces and and just you know what's going on out here
because you can learn a ton from it no matter what level of graffiti artist you are yourself.
got a gorgeous little x-ray piece there. i personally am a big fan
of really vibrant colour pieces on freight specifically because it gives you that extra
bit of visibility that often you're looking to get which is sort of hard to achieve sometimes
on these freights. but x-rays done a great job of that.
2021; very recent. yeah that's really great to see. and that's actually one
of the things i wanted to talk about today is how you can you know learn
from the different stuff you see on these freights without biting of course because
you don't want to be biting. but almost every time i come out to an awesome line of freights
like this i see something that i haven't seen before, whether it's just a technique of sorts
that i haven't haven't seen done before.
i really try and pay attention to how the lines were done in pieces things like that
just really get in and look at the details because that alone i'm always looking to
improve my technique personally more so than say my conceptual knowledge although that as well.
and don't worry in subsequent episodes we'll head through there as well
but yeah it's always it's always great to take a look at how the pieces were made you know.
as graffiti writers we all generally know the steps. the initial lines of the piece, fill-in,
the background and the outline or sometimes in some cases the outline then the background
depending on who you are. we have seen this one before so i'm just gonna pass it quickly here
that Hero and Runal piece but that's one of the i guess i'll break it down into types of
things you can look at look at these pieces. a) the technique. there's always something to be
learned in technique especially because technique is really something that varies between writers
gorgeous Comser tag there. looks like he probably used either a chisel tip or a
square tip. i really love the sort of square tips you can get.
they're not very common but they're nice. we got Rogue one getting up.
Eugor experiencing one of the problems we've all had before: you just run out of a colour uh it's
the worst but it happens. don't worry about it Eugor. look at that beautiful hand style there.
we got a Banz piece from uh Banzoe. his uh his full tag 2020 yeah obviously Banzoe has
been in our episodes before and he's always got these great colour schemes. he's got a
super super high value blue here which works real well with the the black outline. something that
he's done here that i just want to point out is the white outline around the letters here that
really really separates the piece from the pink background there. and that alone is something
that really makes that piece stand out. it's just little things like that that you can see
by coming out here getting to know this freight scene a little bit. you can pick up these little
techniques. i know that's something very simple that is only news to some younger writers but
it's all that kind of stuff. you know? and with all that being said i'll have more to say about
some of this stuff than others. i like to give you guys a bit of a balance of both because some
people when i've asked on the channel in the past some people have said yeah we really enjoy
the commentary then others sort of said they like the more montagey style that I've done.
shoutout to Beast. i was able to talk to Beast a little bit on instagram. that to me was awesome
just because he's been growing up i saw a lot of his work so uh it was great just to have a
little chat with him very very briefly but still great. awesome Phone throwie here. love that.
that is a prime example of how to do a hollow right there. like a hollow throw. yeah he nailed
it phone is a great little uh throw to work with because the h and the n, very similar
tops make it easy to round it off with the p and the o finishing with the e. so
it really does maintain that sort of symmetry and balance within the piece or throw rather.
now
and just the second thing i mentioned or was about to mention about ways you can sort of
learn from this kind of stuff is one of course the technique and the second is of course is almost
something i pointed out with that Banzoe piece back there is conceptual stuff. you can learn
everything - i believe you can learn everything you need to know
conceptually just from taking a look at the tags the throws the pieces here on these freights,
even with things as simple as this little Bart tag. it outlines directional flow very very
well and even to someone who's a new writer who doesn't know anything about any of this stuff,
they'll be able to come in and see oh that slanty sort of look looks very nice and uniform.
