HipHop Zurich style

[tank_boy]

Yesterday, my gangsta friend Aziz and I spontaneously went to Zurich city to check out the local HipHop scene. Since the time I did grafitti dates back as far as 1986-1989 and as Aziz is still a little bit too young for it [he will celebrate his 3rd birthday next week and is still in the state of practising grafitti sketches on paper], at the

nice. i haven't done a nice burner in a long time.

might want to blur their faces for a public post though... you never know who's looking at what.

[tank_boy]

no need to blur the faces, i asked them. these walls are OK to do.
in Switzerland, some cities don't chase grafitti writers any more... as long as certain walls places and buildings remain respected.

interesting.

in most places in america, places with permission walls are usually monitored (in secret) by police, usually so they can associate faces/styles with illegal pieces they have on file.

most of the writers i know won't openly cop to being a writer (myself included) because people often get busted when rumors spread.

yeah, they have files with collected tags and styles. But this alone is not evidence enough. they know who did which piece most probably, but to proove it in court, they need to find real evidence, e.g. the chemically identical paint on fingers/clothes and wall or catch someone in the act.

however, most cases can be solved without a criminal case, especially if the pieces are done by minors: if the owner of the property agrees to keep the grafitti or to have it removed by the sprayer and his/her volountarily, there will be no criminal case.

That looks really fun, Ben. I have never painted like that before, mostly I've done on acrylic, water colors, and pastels. But never on spray paint. Looks fun though. I bet you had fun!

[tank_boy]

yeah, we had fun. :)
