What's going on everyone? My name is Sciz. Welcome back to another episode of our graffiti freight
train watching series here, where we take a look at a lot of the great graffiti, the tags
the throws, the pieces, all being displayed on these beautiful sort of moving art galleries
that are here for those of us who are smart enough to look at them, or those of YOU
who are smart enough to look at them i should say. So, we got plenty behind me here. We're basically
just going to run down this line quickly and get the hell out of here. So, i'll jump right into it.
If you do want your very own Tags, Throws N Pieces shirt, check the first link in the description!
It's a great way to meet other writers out in public actually. When they see you wearing this,
they'll say hi to you, they will.
I might have a bit less stuff to say about some of this stuff.
For those who are new to this series on the channel, welcome. You should check some of
the other stuff out on the channel. This is sort of a series that's a little bit
different than some of the other stuff we do but we usually try and discuss a
lot of the stuff that's on these freights a little bit, from an artistic perspective,
talking about a lot of the the artistic concepts going on
in the tags, throws and pieces on these lines. And of course it's great to be able to see
different graffiti coming out of different graffiti communities across the continent really.
Oh, i gotta show you something on this line though.
Awesome! I know i've asked this question before but, pieces on tankers:
are they not the best thing in the world? Let me know in the comments!
I think what it is about them is the black background on these tankers really helps a lot
of pieces stand out an extra degree, and that sort of effect should not be underestimated.
Denver as well. Nice.
Gorgeous Swear tag there. That is awesome. And see, this is where i just want to make the same
sort of simplistic point that i make all the time. Very boxy start to the s, boxy sort of
finish to the r, on the first and last letters. That's by design guys, like that doesn't happen
by accident. You do need to think of that stuff to round your tag off and and to make it symmetrical,
consistent, all the way through. With the middle three letters, the size of them, the midline
between here here here, the w connections and sort of the curve around the s here. Something else
further; just the line on the little asterisks here and these lines are about that same height
as well, and that's all by design. Right? Like same thing i was saying last episode, um
conceptually very simple stuff, yet so many people can't make a good tag.
And that just goes to show why it's important to be aware of a lot of these concepts and how
that sort of stuff plays out like balance and - i'm sorry my shoulder's killing me
if i'm waving it around like an idiot - but balance, uniformity, direction,
like even just leaning each letter the same way; just little stuff like that that some people -
it makes sense once it's explained to them, but if it's not something you've ever looked at,
you wouldn't understand it necessarily maybe.
We got Spek. Here's a good example of just what I mean. Even leaning the letters the same way.
They're all slightly leaned to the left. Could be a left-hander. Left-handers tend to do that.
And that same thing goes with throwies of course. This is obviously very left-leaning
and that's necessary for each letter to be like that.
One of the things we love to discuss when we come and do these freight watching episodes is
just where these people are from. Not necessarily like specifics; like obviously don't give away any
security details, but we love talking about writers who are in certain areas a lot,
who you see everywhere. Got all these Spek tags here. And just things like that and really making
those connections to the real world graffiti communities that are putting in this work.
Ceven! Ceven just like uh GR writes. He's always putting 'seven's up. Man
i'm really feeling these Spek tags! These are great. We got Rich here. Shout out to rich!
ITD I assume. That's awesome. Yeah, ITD. Gier keeping it simple. Perfect, perfect.
Chromies with the homies!
We got a Mason tag here. That's awesome. Also i'll just mention, you know, there's three dots,
three lines, three dots... simple stuff. Some would say that's overdoing it a little bit,
but that really is just assisting the whole uniformity and the balance of the tag.
We're seeing a lot of new names today!
If i have a bit less to say about some of the stuff today and it's in that
sort of montage format, it is me trying to test that out to see how you guys sort of like that
format. So let me know if you're enjoying that or if you like sort of the the traditional way
we do the graffiti freight train watching series here! And i take your guys's feedback
when it comes to things like that. Obviously everyone knows we have the best graffiti community
in the world right here on the channel! So yeah, of course i'm gonna listen to you guys!
We've got tons of freight watching episodes here on the channel. I will link the beginning
of season two of freight watching on screen now for you guys to check out. There's tons of other
series we do here on the channel as well that i'd encourage you to check out. I'll link one of
our best videos that i really like that's come out recently on the channel, if you want to check that
out as well. Although there are a lot of series that have to do with graffiti on this channel,
what they all have in common is our community here really tries to celebrate all forms of graffiti.
And i never really come out and say that clearly, but that is really what we're here to do, whether
it be those awesome graffiti product reviews, our freight train watching series like this,
(even when they're mostly tankers) The graffiti is what this channel is, so take a look around,
see if you like it. Feel free to pick up a Tags, Throws N Pieces shirt in an assortment of colours,
first link in the description as well! That helps to support the channel; it's one of the
best things you can do to support the channel, and it actually gets you a pretty awesome shirt,
real nice comfy material, as well. Nice for hot sunny days when you're out with the
the crew maybe! Tune in for the next video. If you are interested in that next video,
obviously subscribing to the channel all that kind of stuff makes it more likely
you'll see that stuff on your homepage. So check those videos out maybe. Peace!
