FAQ and Help
Q: What do I need to do graffiti?
A: You should start with a marker or pencil and spend a lot of time writing in a blackbook. A blackbook is just a notebook where you practice graffiti. Start by making simple alphabets, and think of a cool name. Try not to copy people, nobody appreciates this. When you get more experienced, you should learn to use paint markers, and spray paint.
Q: What is a toy?
A: A toy is someone who is: A. new at graffiti and not good, or B. someone who has had a chance to get good, but has not improved. I will explain more graffiti lingo in a little bit.
Q: Where should I do graffiti?
A: As I said before, start in a blackbook. When you get better find some walls in areas where there is little traffic, and get to work. When you get better, move to higher traffic areas. Don't get caught.
Q: What is this stuff about blackbooks, toys, and whatnot?
A: Shut the forget up and I'll tell you.
