Dallas Graffiti Writers Busted!

Peter: 23rd Dec 2005 - 15:53 GMT

wow. so soler could get up to two years in jail... for writing graffiti. geez. seems like the cops are more mad about the name of the website than they are about the graf.

jeeff: 24th Dec 2005 - 00:15 GMT

maybe dallaspolice.com should take down the graffiti 'slide shows' and replace them with photos and contact info for the officers involved.

flash: 24th Dec 2005 - 05:59 GMT

yea thats fucked up. i see soler and rewd shit like every day... and now they're bout to be fucked hardcore. felonies ain't fun, and they're tryin to get these kids the worst of the punishments that are possible. fuck the law

flash: 24th Dec 2005 - 06:00 GMT

now you can't even look at anyone's pictures on dallaspolice, only the slideshow at the front page... bunk

Peter: 25th Dec 2005 - 04:07 GMT

yeah its totally down, not just hidden. the "categories" (including fav folks here, like soler, goya and pet bird) is completely gone.

also: i second the "fuck the law" sentiment. after doing some last minute christmas shopping for sine today, i passed some amazing soler shit, and felt really bad for him...

slerp: 27th Dec 2005 - 00:35 GMT

Who owns/runs dp.com?

I always had a hunch that it was sekt since there was always a bunch of hd, ra shit on the slideshow. Whomever it is, I bet that hassle him as well.

dats some fucked up shit. u see da effort they put to catch de taggers fuck da pigz. they should put dat effort to catch rapist,,murders,drugdealers (

Manda: 19th Jan 2006 - 19:14 GMT

The jail time and fines are stupid. I'm an artist and have done legal grafitti for a company garage. It's awesome and maybe the police should try to think of an alternative. Freedom of expression, but in moderation.

aok-os: 25th Jan 2006 - 12:04 GMT

two years for the creation of art. at least they weren't out there slangin some shit and blstin shells at people. fuck the po. they gotta open their eyes. go eat a doughnut.

freaky wild eddie: 5th Feb 2006 - 03:29 GMT

I realize I'm gonna get flak for this, but I really don't get the perpetual unoriginality of grafitti artists. It's like the "pigs should go eat a donut" joke, it's just so yesterday it's not even clever anymore. Especially the written stuff, it always looks the same. The style, it all looks as if the same guy goes from city to city to city. Even the tags look the same. If the idea is to be submersive and non-conformist, that's totally cool, and I respect that whole-heartedly. But why do the same thing over and over and over again? It's like 80% of all grafitti jobs in any given place fall into the "wildstyle" form in one way or another. If it was so "wild" why is it always the same?? Original grafitti artists are cool. Those who pass the same old tired standard only fall into that very mold of conformity they try to condemn. They always try to one-up the other but it's always following the same tired format, with little deviation from this tired plot. Why not do something ironic like painting a mountain or a tree or something? Now that's provocative and stirring; if only because it's unconventional. Ultimately, the question for me is why express decay in decay?? We already feel the circumstance, we don't need to be remined of it. We were born in the slums, don't tell me that I live in the slums -- I already know it. I saw this entire line of train cars go by me once, wild-style on each and every one of them; otherwise a "fuck you" or something equally asinine and witless. The second to last car however completely blew my mind. The guy did this giant sailboat silhoetted on a sunset, but he had it being drawn by this kid (part of the picture). It was just so cool. It was as if he was saying, "to hell with it, I was drawing sailboats when I was 4 years old, it was more real than anything going on here on the rest of this train."

freaky wild eddie: 5th Feb 2006 - 03:47 GMT

For example, here are some typical sleepers (taken from a page at random). Notice how each and every one is essentially the same:
http://www.graffiti.org/la/la_35.html

I realize that art can't be quantified and codified, and that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', but why is 'beauty' so evidently standard? Isn't that what we are afraid of? Isn't the idea to undermine the machine? Aren't we just part of the machine we try to undermine when it's just same same same??? Isn't the idea to prevent us all from being mindless automatons, striking us with something novel and new to kind of expose the hazards of stagnation?? Jar us people. Try something new. That "newness" isn't anything I've necessary said above -- just something new to you; something new to the world.

SuShI_hp: 18th Feb 2006 - 01:25 GMT

REVOLT: 22nd Feb 2006 - 22:39 GMT

I'm with you all... Fuck dem laws we ain't killin nobody and shit. I ain't much compared to all y'all other taggers but I'm out there. I, hittin' up, not only with graffiti, but I'm moving to stencil work and stickers, along with my other thirty or forty other names (I lost count). I also do characters and whoever Chemicals is, big ups to you man! That's some clean ass shit. I'd seen your signature around but Ididn't know you were the one doing that other shit. I also do some shit like that so if I ever meet you, I say we do a piece.

Guy McLaren: 23rd Feb 2006 - 05:30 GMT

But still, graffitti defaces buildings, costs big bucks to remove and I see in africa now fuckwits are starting to deface natural phenomena like rock faces and stuff.

motown fenskee: 24th Feb 2006 - 05:20 GMT

They're still doing graffiti? and in Dallas? (chuckles)
Gone are the days of Seen, Quik, Dondi, Lee, Lady Pink, etc... Gone are the days of hiphop & fun and the new expression of youth. I suggest the kids find another hobby...ummmm, I don't know...maybe reading!

REVOLT: 4th Mar 2006 - 18:07 GMT

Hey has anyone seen that artcle about SEKT on the observer? "Could a tagger really be public enemy number 1?" The biggest ups to you, your shit is now really fukin everywhere!

flash: 6th Mar 2006 - 05:45 GMT

"Hey has anyone seen that artcle about SEKT on the observer? "Could a tagger really be public enemy number 1?" The biggest ups to you, your shit is now really fukin everywhere!" ... yeah. sekt is the biggest name in dallas graffiti, they want him real bad. all of this cracking down on graff in dallas is taking its toll, the chief of police is making it on of his main objectives to take down as many big graff writers as he can. sucks real bad.

flash: 6th Mar 2006 - 05:49 GMT

i saw the high five shit pizza and rewd did. i didnt know they were beefin, but personally i get down with pizza's style. its sick as hell. don't be fightin between each other, the dallas graff scene needs as many allies as we can get. stay up for real, and fuck the police

SuShI_hp: 17th Mar 2006 - 01:47 GMT

**R@Ti0**: 18th Mar 2006 - 20:42 GMT

how can writting on walls add up to 2 years in prison and 100,000$ in damage it just dosent make sense! its fucking paint. and to all the people who think all tags look the same go jerk off. thats like saying all musics the same or all of pecossos work is identical. graffiti is goes back into the roman days and is apart of americans history. theres no use juging these brilliant minds like sorlar or rewd _ unless they suck like the crew cf.

ERBEN_HP_RBK_CP: 19th Mar 2006 - 03:47 GMT

SuShI_hp: 19th Mar 2006 - 04:22 GMT
