Whole life, I've been dealing with depression. Half a year ago, I tried to kill myself, overdosing on cocaine, and I just realized I needed to change. I've been doing graffiti on and off for many years but I got really into it after that. I needed something to go to, something that wasn't ruining me the way cocaine and ketamine was.

I have done thousands of tags. New haven and brooklyn became my canvas. It was the only thing that I could use to keep me sane, and it was more than just therapy, it was like religion. It gave me purpose. I found a community within it, a new home, and a new life.

I used to live in a house near some active tracks and i loved watching the trains go by with all their different artwork. To me graffiti is the purest form of art in the modern day. There's no money it, and barely any recognition. It's actually dangerous to be recognized as an artist. That makes the main reason behind doing graffiti nothing more than the desire and impulse to create something beautiful and send it out into the world.

Ngi you hit me hard man, someone who's dealt with depression, suicide my entire life this art always been apart who I'm till this day is been there for me at my worst. Art in general always been apart my life but when came to graffiti it was always bitter sweet relationship yet again I've met some most down earth writers made really good friends over the years didn't matter what state there from or other side of the world, the brother hood & sister hood and the bond sharing same love different styles, backgrounds all walks of life since then I've kinda let it take the back seat in my life went down different paths with my art but still remains within me always has so it never really left apart who I'm.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! YALL THE BEST PRESENT ANYONE COULD EVER GET!

What started as a random search on tagging has become an exploration in the history, culture, people, and art of it all. Your videos have been such a cool resource both in developing my understanding and style. I've even started seeing and appreciating all the tags and graffiti around the places I walk and drive, it's really cool. Thank you for the killer content!

[NedInYaHead]

I always love looking at the colourful, creative and witty graffiti around me living in an otherwise drab urban centre. I haven't done it much or regularly, but when I have it's been electric. When I do it, it's because I wanna give back and contribute to make other's commutes more interesting, as well as for the fun of it. That feeling that the whole environment around you is a canvas to be doodled on will never *not* be thrilling to me.

[negativespace]

I always think of it like this: Graffiti is to Calligraphy, what Rap is to Poetry.
It's not that different. But it's more raw IMO. (Great vid!)

[PatrickStaight]

Your statement about "wall permission" means the world to me.
I am not good at keeping a secret.
I tell everyone about my street art even though I haven't done much.
I send anonymous letters to building owners before I do my work.
While not enough to get me to change the way I do things, I did feel the imagined judgment of a faceless community.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

I started and still do it's as a relief, for a long time I didn't want to live. I didn't see a point, but by graffiti it made me get out of my house and start doing something fun. It also was a coping mechanism, knowing that if I die my name wil be known and spread across my city. I still have that reason and I will definitely not be stopping anytime soon.

I've been on a self-reflection journey this past year and I've been seeing so many things like this leading up to people's mental health. It's just insane to me that there's stuff like this happening that's deemed illegal can be linked to people's past or experiences that would've seriously altered their behavior to drive them to express themselves a certain way, like making themselves known on walls by writing their name on them. Thank you so much for sharing this. Thai Restaurant

6:04 green and pink piece is so simple yet to me feels like the best piece ive ever seen

[Asian_Kid]

I don't get why a lot of graffiti writers don't like street art. They're literally getting paid to do graffiti. Good for them.

[Jwellsuhhuh]

I literally stopped at 7:07, went to newest comments, and wondered why everyone was saying “Thai resteraunt” lmao

[phfLoki]

A legend is back with a new video!!! Btw merry x-mas YOUFO! :D

[revix]

This is too true dude, I personally do it to just look at my work, feel proud, and do it again it’s like a cycle.

The throwup on the thumbnail was done by jazz, an almost all-city writer in milan in Italy. I see him around almost everyday. Thanks for sharing such a legendary pic!

My view on graffiti has changed drastically in the course of just a couple of years. At first, I thought that graffiti was a very bad thing, and that it was annoying and ugly, but then one of my good friends actually started teaching me a little about graffiti, and showing me some cool things, and as time grew on I really began to respect graffiti, and graffiti artists. Now, I've started to really become interested in making graffiti, and I also really enjoy making stickers. I've put a whole bunch of stickers up now, and it's become a hobby I've really come to enjoy. Also, this is a really great video and I love all of the points you made. Thai Restauraunt!

[owwwgaming]

The quality and effort is hard to miss.

[iglo]

you got it all on point man, thanks for actually telling people that its more then just a tag

[vanKingOrignal]

Its annoying having to clean that off my fathers property. If your gonna draw somewhere don't draw on the place we're renting out to people.
