As reported last post, I’ve been painting up a storm lately. Been writing too! One would swear I was smitten lol. Somehow I can’t stay away from graffiti art for very long though. Haven’t been hitting the walls for lack of paint, but I totally got back into painting the good ole 80′s style graffiti jackets!  Every writer and graffiti fan was rockin these things back in the day and I so missed painting them that I had to do a few so off to the thrift store i went and picked up a few good Lee and Levi jackets. I was painting in no time! Got two finished so far, one on the way and another primed which is what this post is really about!

You see, one of the jackets is a Ladies Medium size and well, I dont wear those. I couldnt pass it up though because I wanted to buy as many as I could! I initially had someone in mind to be the recipient, but I don’t any more so I’m giving it away!  Well, sorta. This awesome, black denim jacket, soon to have original graffiti art on the back is now the subject of the……

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME??? Graffiti Jacket contest!

Here’s the deal.

As a young scribbler in high school wearing my ever-so-badass graffiti jacket to class in the fall, it wasn’t unheard of to get numerous requests from the ladies for some artwork.  The demand was high enough that I couldn’t keep up with half of it(which i suppose is a good thing). Anyway, with demand so high and my only having 2 hands and 24 hours in a day, it became an auction of sorts. Sometimes for money, sometimes for goods, sometimes for an exchange of art. So that’s how I’m gonna do this one.  Your name or whatever words you want, by my hand and brushes for …..whatever you can think of!  Whoever comes up with the best offer gets the jacket.  You may or may not wear it, but trust me, you want this. It’s a one of a kind that may never happen again which makes it ridiculously collectible especially on the eve of my first gallery opening in ages!

So that’s that. Hit the contact button or drop me an email at contest@forceduprise.com with whatever your offer may be(you’d be suprised what may win so don’t be afraid to be creative) and I will get in touch with the lucky winner when the best offer has been offered! There’s no real time limit on this one, but best to hit me while the inspiration is there.  The last one of these I did custom was a $450 investment for the buyer so this contest is a great way to get something for a price YOU determine!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

New graffiti style shirt just in time for Christmas!Here ya go! Another new shirt design(just click on the picture or THIS LINK). Trying to do some without letters on them for awhile. For some reason I have been inspired to do more drawing. Painting season is pretty much over out my way so plan on seeing alot more of the online projects and drawing showing up here. I have been doing alot of work on graffitimassive and trying to get it moving. Starting a new graffiti forum isn’t the easiest thing. People like to join but no one wants to start the conversation lol. Either way, I will be adding new graffiti pics to both galleries and starting some serious work on tutorials of how to draw graffiti letters. Needless to say, I am still doing custom tshirts so get your orders to me in time for the holidays!

As promised. Here is the 1st video in the series. This will be one of 6 or so(haven’t finished editing) in the series. My intention is to demonstrate to those that are trying to learn, some of what goes into painting on a wall. If anything, there ae multiple tips and tricks that you can pick up regarding graffiti letters, planning, spacing, filling and outlining your own pieces. I won’t even pretend that this is the way that everyone does it because there is no “way that everyone does it”. This isn’t even how I do it everytime. But still, for those who don’t have access to a writer in your area, this is at least something to learn from.

Very unhappy today

by TheGone84

unfinished pieceFor those that haven’t been following, I set up a new site recently called graffitimassive.com. Its awesome really. All the goodies, forum, gallery….etc. Well, just as people are starting to join and post and all that fun, boom…down it goes. It’s been down for the last couple hours so hopefully the people that signed up find their way here. I am assured by the service people there that it will be back up in a few hours, but I am not trusting it for a minute. I need to scrounge up a few bucks and transfer it over to my own hosting. This is ridiculous…Anyway, that’s my rant for the day. Hoping for some good weather tomorrow so I can go PAINT
