So, my lady is on vacation with her family in Hawaii right now and she happen to come across some fresh graff in the Chinatown area. Well, without further delay:

FARO – SPYER

Thank you honey.

So, I recently decided to give the guys over at ArtPrimo.com a shot. I needed a few tips and paint sticks for the weekend and had a bad experience with my last purchase from…another popular online graff store, so away I went. I got a 10 pack of the NY Fatcaps ($1.99), a 10 pack of the NY Outlines ($1.99), and a 10 pack of the super-dope Gold Dots – skinny tips ($2.99). These tips are pretty much the gold standard when it comes to quality of can tips and you just can’t go wrong with these all together. Huge fades and quick fills with the fatcaps, medium to small fades and outlines with the gold dots skinny, and fine lines with the NY outlines. Man I love this ****! So, yes I recommend Art Primo if you’re looking for graff supplies.

Close to 300 cans of spray paint, hundreds of felt tip markers and countless spray can tips were among the tagging equipment Ontario police found early this morning in two homes where they served two search warrants.

In addition to the tagging materials police found a .40 caliber hand gun and marijuana for sale, police said.

Officers arrested two 15-year-old boys, one from Ontario and one from Pomona, on suspicion of felony vandalism and taken to West Valley Juvenile Hall, said Officer Anthony Ortiz of the Ontario Police Department.

But police are still looking for two Ontario men, Albert Fierro, 28, and Joseph Hong, 29, who police believe are the heads of a tagging crew has left markings not just in Ontario but all around Southern California between San Diego and Los Angeles, Ortiz said.

“It’s amazing these guys haven’t grown up,” Ortiz said.

Ontario police, along with members of the Montclair police department, served the two warrants this morning.

The first warrant was served about 7 a.m. at Fierro’s home in the 800 block of East D Street, Ortiz said.

About 20 minutes later police served a warrant at Hong’s home in the 500 block of West G Street, he said.

Police found the boys, who were both runaways, at the D Street address and were able to link them with the tagging crew, Ortiz said, adding one of the teens admitted to having taking part in a tagging spree the night before.

Wednesday morning’s activities were the result of more than a year’s worth of investigative work, Ortiz said, part of which kicked into a higher gear in July after a large tagging piece was discovered on the wall of a commercial building at 1445 W. Brooks St., Ortiz said.

In that instance the taggers marked up a wall 30 to 40 yards long and about 25 feet high, he said.

The investigation in that case allowed police to develop the information that allowed them to determine who was behind the vandalism that has included markings on building walls, freeway sound walls, utility polls and even railroad freight cars, Ortiz said.

Aside from the cans of spray paint, markers and spray can tips, police also found a number of books about the culture of graffiti and tagging in addition to books with taggers work.

Police also found four 5-gallon cans of paint, paint rollers and a fiberglas ladder that’s about 12 feet tall, Ortiz said.

Taggers will use paint to cover over other people’s work or to create clean surface to put up their own markings, Ortiz said.

But it’s when taggers paint over other people markings that can create other problems, he said.

“That can start a gang war,” Ortiz said.

Ortiz said Ontario police officer Jeff Zeen was able to collect a great deal of information on the case related to the vandalism the group is suspected of committing in the city which allowed them to secure the warrants.

The information Ontario collected will be shared with other law enforcement agencies and could lead to additional charges, Ortiz said.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD! THERE’S A GOOD IDEA! DER!

There are many artists in this town. Why don’t we get them some paint and point them in the directions where art is needed, so tagging and ‘ugly’ graffiti can stop?

Some person, who writes in a certain way, using a certain colour, is acknowledged by their peers for writing whatever it is they write. Whether they sign their name, write an illegible symbol or scribble something more, it’s about the rush of being able to say they did it.

God, I love these quotes sometimes. And at other times, they can get pretty annoying.

A JUDGE sent out a stark message to graffiti vandals yesterday by handing down prison sentences to three members of a gang which caused nearly £180,000 of damage in a wrecking spree across the region.

The gang of graffiti artists covered hundreds of buildings and railway bridges in their distinctive tags over eight months, giving transport operators a huge clean-up bill.

Network Rail alone had to pay for a £140,000 clean-up after the “crew” covered the line between Newcastle and Sunderland in their scrawls.

Holy ****!

Two suburban graffiti “artists” will spend the next five years cleaning up the property damage they and others have inflicted on Cleveland.

A Cuyahoga County judge ordered Danny Zhang of Seven Hills and Daniel Horvat of Wickliffe to perform 2,000 hours of community service each — 400 hours per year.

Common Pleas Judge Judith Kilbane Koch also told the two that they will be responsible for reimbursing the cost of any property owner’s cleanup of their “art.”

But the novel part of the sentence is this: The taggers must perform that community service in conjunction with a new neighborhood-based “graffiti task force” whose existence the two vandals helped to spawn.

This is a unique find right here:

ONE OF the two jailed graffiti artists has revealed concern for his co-defendant in emotional letters sent from prison to family and friends back home.

TJ Dolan, 20, of Leek Road, Sutton, was jailed for 15 months after pleading guilty to vandalising railway property at Manchester Crown Court two weeks ago.

Writing from Lancaster Farms prison, he expressed worries about fellow spray can artist and co-defendant Tom Whittaker, 18, of Brocklehurst Avenue, who was imprisoned for 12 months after also admitting offences.

He said: “Me and Tom have been separated. I don’t know where he is. There is no reason we’re not together… and the staff don’t know why we are separated.

“I am very worried about him… and I am really concerned on how he will be coping. I’m finding not knowing increasingly difficult and feel I have to help him.”

All I have to say is this, dude stop worrying about your buddy and worry about your own ass!
