YOOOOOOO! Those knitted things are from a "collective" of all girls. I can't remember what they call themselves. There's like 20 of them. They go to cities allllllllllllllll over the world (i mean REALLLLY) and crochet trees, stop signs, parking meters etc etc etc. they do it completely illegal and generally at night like writers. They have been arrested MULTIPLE times and charged with absurd shit like littering, causing a publi nuisance etc. They do it to make a statement. I am a HUGE admirer. THEN, on Sunday when I went to my favorite dive bar down the street from my house..... They crocheted a purple wrap around the "basket" on the bike sculpture outside the bar! It was like a little blessing. I guess they crocheted the entire handrail going up the stairs to the bar but some asshole took it. I'll get a pic today.

Phelpser!Those drunk bombing pics get me more jazzed up than 3 hour pieces! YES!
**OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG** i think i just peed myself. or it could have been that other thing. i'm not sure.

that is soooooo fucking cool, i wonder if they're taking new members? (incidentally, i AM part of a collective of "bad knit girls" who knit naughty things.... but more for wearing) parking meter cozies! sheer genius.
my man'd be chooooked if i got arrested, though...

EDIT: "yarnbombing"

Man how is it ive never heard of these girls? That shit is fucking awesome, man i love street art of all forms!

Yo bushy, you ever flatten a beer can, paint some art on it, and nail it up places? Def a good time haha

Yeah man i hear ya, bombing was my jam! But overall i had to quit for 2 reason's, one because i started growing the herb, two because our crew really was up most across our whole valley for a good 8-9 months. Everything from mad freeway spots to fire extinguisher tags. Anyways the graff patrol unit locked down 2 kid's in our crew and essentially were forced to stop painting. Either way though we still keep the NC name alive with occasional bombing's... Not to mention after you get up so much you become notorious even after your bombs start to disappear.



Fuck man only regret i have about bombing is that i wish i would have taken more pictures. Their was a good solid year and a half where i bombed ATLEAST once or twice a week but i have hardly any pic's to show for it.

Ha. I was gonna say.....If they accepted applications, you would be a shoe-in! It is pretty fucking awesome. From what I've heard most of the time the judge gets PISSED that his time is wasted and throws it all out. I think littering fines are the most that's ever stuck. How the FUCK can you be mad at that. To me, it's a modern day version of sticking a flower into a soldiers gun barrel.

Beercan and nail will most likely happen today. HA. Never done that! How about this one......Take a piece of plywood....Paint whatever you want on it (can be huge or small plywood), drill holes around the border....Hike up a hill on the side of the freeway that has no wall BUT A CHAIN LINK FENCE......Zip-tie every hole onto the wires of the chain link. I had one running for almost a year, because they really didn't know what to do. I think they ended up replacing that portion of fence. HAHAHAHA.

And the pictures?! FUCK. I had 2 cardboard boxes FULL of pics......One was toy shit I was embarrassed of, and the other was my "proud/crazy/risky" work.....I moved to Norcal for a year and left both boxes at my friends house.....When i came back, somehow the only box remaining was the "toy shit" box...........Blah.

knit.jpgMagda Seyeg is a Texan artist who tags – but not with graffiti. She and her collective of guerrilla knitters – who you can touch base with at KnittaPlease.com – place knitted stuff on door handles, park benches, statues, lamp posts and virtually anything else standing in the street.
This week, Seyeg hit the streets of Mexico City to do one of her biggest jobs yet – wrapping a bus in her trademark knitted tags. Here’s some photo evidence, and watch this space for a video-profile of the artist coming real soon…..

HERE WE GO. :) That link doesn't work, but I googled her name and there is ALL sorts of info. She's a bad ass.

Haha go for it! Word of advice to, the nail tend's to go through the beer can really easy so it's best to put some kind of little stopper to prevent the nail from going all the way through, ive found that a small square piece of wood about 1/2 inch wide by 1/2 inch tall works best.

Fuck man that idea is very Innovative, hell yeah! That's funny they just replaced the fence, they were probably confused as fuck. Their is def a lot of good spots that would be fucking perfect for this! Especially some overpass spots.

Damn man that suck's you lost all your pictures, id be pissed! See my problem was more or less that i went out bombing drunk more then i didnt and usually id be to hung over in the morning to even care about taking pics... Shitty thing is out here your lucky if something run's for more then 48 hours, generally the buff is fast as fuck out here.

Same here(with the buff)......But then I drove by a spot I hit in Norcal recently, black and white throwy.....punchline said, "roadtrippin' in '03".........Gotta love how some places don't care/have money to ever paint over shit. But then some toy comes with a scrap can and writes "Sur x3" over your shit (my area anyway) hahahahaha. The vicious cycle.

HA! Cowboy and space alien are rad!....Glad mr. snail could stop by for a shroomy trip!

Phelpster, isn't it SOOOO weird the random experiences you have while painting? At 3 am on the freeway, you see things the rest of the sleeping world misses out on. Once, we were on the back of one of those green freeway heavens and RIGHT underneath us a car flipped and caught fire! we had to come down half way done because cops, fire and everyone came.....Seeing bums fucking in the sewers....getting chased by cops and BURNING em HARD (lay off the donuts!)........sneaking through bushes like your a kid again......running across lanes of freeway......spilling a 5 gallon bucket of baby blue paint in your back seat.....bear macing people you have beef with.......writing silly punchlines......clogged caps.........The way OLLLLD krylon smells.......scribing gas pumps and feeling like you're winning just a little more.......being in creepy spots but knowing you have to finish.....drunk bombing that looks like SHIT the next morning.......I could go on and on..........All things that non-writers will just never get!

:)
this makes me wish i had a car even doe i never done any taggin wif spray paint and can never find the good kind but hey we all gotta start some were and also i live so close to these train tracks and most of them are all white just waiting for some color but man i remember when i was at school i use to hit up every spot i could and i would always put my fav "punch line" SO Smoke One all over the school and i only got caught once too but they didnt do nothing
