alles wat je schrijft is literatuur? Grappig dat ze dan niet meteen alles onder 1 kopje smijten: Literatuur. Ik ben literair, ik schrijf nú literatuur? jeees... Mensen zijden niet iets, mensen zeiden iets. Daarnaast werd er ook gezegd dat er een Lifestyle forum is, is dit niet meer iets voor daar? Chase stories... zwak.... -JM- |

ik snap wel wat joseph bedoelt..kijk nix mis meej ik vind ook dat graffiti een vorm van kunst is...maar om nou 9 topics of meer te plaatsen? kijk dat die forumbazen geen apart forum willen maken kunnen diegenen op dit forum nix aan doen.
Zorg dan dat et een wisselforum wordt, dan wordt het misschien daarna een vast forum(zoals drugs&alcohol) iig, graffiti overheerst nu het forum kunst&literatuur en niet iedereen vindt dat oke...prop dan bepaalde dingen in 1 topic zodat het een btje beschaafd blijft.. |

It is a wet, grey afternoon. Tube trains the same colour as the sky shoot through the London Underground and intersect at Edgeware Road, a busy station where three different lines meet. On board one of the trains, Drax and Elk peer through carriage windows, checking for signs they have been here before. In their early 20's, the pair are anonymously dressed in well worn padded jackets, their faces practically hidden by hats. They pass Latimer Road and Elk breaks out into a broad fresh faced grin. On the platform, every sign or hoarding has been obscured by a highly stylised, spray can applied signature. Untangle the "tags" and they will unmistakably all read "Elk". He points up as the train continues. On the sides of buildings which overlook the tracks are larger, more elaborate colour pieces which are also his.
Inside the carriage, Drax and Elk have been getting busy writing their tags on the windows with the short, thick marker pens they have made themselves. With a flourish, Drax takes out an aerosol can and deftly sprays his tag on a window. He takes no more than 2 seconds and leaves a wet signature and the unmistakable bubblegum scent of spray can paint. But they're spotted. An irate elderly passenger is trying to flag the attention of the driver as the train pulls into its final stop. Mindful of the in-station video cameras, they dash into another train on a different line. Within minutes they'll be far away lost in the system. But it's likely they'll ensure their passing will not go unmarked. dit is een mooi verhaal.stukje eruit dan het hele verhaal kan je vinden op http://www.drechiti.com |

nog een mooi verhaal=
I grab the fire escape ladder and hoist myself up-- only to see a police cruiser crawling my way. I press my face to the metal-grate stairs, hoping the cops can't see me. They move along, and I proceed upwards, to the peak of the four-story industrial compound. At the summit, I join "Grease" and "Solid." They are graffiti writers, strapped with spray paint, and they are on a continuing mission -- a battle against San Francisco, the new San Francisco, a sanitized city purged of grimy homeless lowlifes and housing project problem children. While San Francisco rents are skyrocketing and the city razes public housing and buffs unauthorized writing from the walls, the scribes are tagging everything in sight. Graffiti is direct action against gentrification, part of a campaign not on any politician's agenda: to curb property values by keeping the city seedy. The view from our perch is stunning, the feeling serene. The chaos of the city disappears at this height. Busses and cars crawl quietly along 16th Street, bearing anonymous passengers to anonymous destinations. The lights of the Bay Bridge pulse like a string of Christmas bulbs. A swath of fog cuts the blue-black sky in half. "I feel like my whole life was just preparation to come here, to San Francisco, to the Mission District," says Solid, who moved from the Midwest a year ago. "I feel at home here, I wanna stay here forever." I know how he feels. I also know that I've been living here for five years and don't know how much longer I can stay. Every year the rents in this city climb higher and higher -- up 37 percent this year says the Tenants' Union, the highest rate of rent increase in the country. Friends give me different versions of the same story. Landlords doubling rent on slummy two bedroom flats from $750 to $1,500 overnight. People "couch touring" for months. Folks paying $350 a month to literally live in a closet. Apartments jammed to the rafters with working folks trying get by in high rent hell. I feel like my position in the city is questionable. Writing is not a high-paid profession. And I may be evicted again. I'm getting used to it. For the third time this year I've got a slumlord telling me he's looking for a "more desirable (i.e.: wealthy) tenant." At this point, I don't know if I wanna live here for the rest of my days. My friends-- artists, writers, activists, service-industry wage slaves -- are already fleeing the Bay. The low-paid can't afford to live here. Creative souls can't find the time to be creative in a high rent habitat. "When you live here you spend all your time worrying about making rent," says Mike a musician friend who plans to leave. Who will I hang out with when all my friends are gone? Grease and I step out onto the two and a half foot ledge that runs along the top of the building, about four feet below the roof. Solid hops onto the roof, scanning the street for cops -- our lookout. Grease wants to paint a four by eight foot graffiti silver and black mini-mural on the top corner of the warehouse. Grease and I move slowly along the sheet metal precipice. It is wet with fog, oily, creaky with age. We reach the spot, and Grease starts to paint. Silver spray blows in my face. I can taste it in my mouth. Suddenly, my sneakers begin sliding ever so slightly toward the edge of the slippery walkway. All at once I am paralyzed -- can't move, can't pull back. I see my self plunging right off the ledge. But I recover, and shuffle very slowly back to the ladder that goes up to the roof. My brush with death brings other unpleasant fates to mind. Can I survive this dog-eat-dog housing war, or will I slip, end up on the streets, down on my luck in this soon-to-be city of the rich? Will I have find a (yikes!) suit and tie job to stay? Grease finishes his painting. We head back down the fire escape. "If we all get pushed out of this city I'll still come back and write graffiti," says Grease later, "Just for retaliation. Just to leave a piece of me here." I hope he writes my name on the wall, 'cause I don't know how long I'll last. |

Jezus Joseph en die andere zeurkous..
Als je NIET bent geinteresseert in graffiti en ALLES wat daarbij hoort, KOM DAN NIET IN DEZE TOPICS, maar negeer ze. ALS JE ER AL INKOMT, ga dan NIET flamen.. want door mensen zoals jij, met reacties zoals jij onstaan er ruzies. Jij kunt mij NIET wijsmaken dat je LAST hebt van onze topics.. ieder mens heeft een eigen referentie-kader zoals dat heet, en die bepaald de intresses en bepaald waar je wel en niet op let. D.w.z... KIJK OVER ONZE TOPICS HEEN!. Zo. en nu ophouden alstjeblieft met je geflame. Danku.
