Far as where have they gone. It seems to be a where you are in life. In my case I was getting up before all the guys mentioned above were in the scene (at least to my knowledge). Once I graduated college, found a job, bought a house, and got married. Well, priorities change.

I use to paint in the yard (spot often shown in UrbanJax banner). I also painted behind 5 pts, the Warehouse that was on Riverside Ave. and downtown on the roof of “the cave” (diagonal from where Paradome/618 use to be).

So where have all the writers gone? JSO crackdown? Left the city? Bombing somewhere else now?

“somebody bombed the recently installed beam on the unfinished overpass that is being built for the new C.R. 210 in “Nocatee”. usually you just see juvenile scrawl on the bridges and overpasses in St. Johns County, but this was decent work.”

I saw that last weekend. I have folks who live out that way. I was trying to figure out if they had done if before the beam was set, but then I figured probably not considering how centered the piece was. I too was trying to figure out how in the hell they got up there.

“Poor As Fuck” has always been my favorite. Well done, had a message, made coffee come out my nose driving south on I-95.

I have blank space inside my garage and along my back alley fence (after this weekend’s construction). If someone put up a mural, non-gang related and well done (filled in), I wouldn’t paint over it.

I would take a well done piece of graffiti over some of the “art” that is in galleries any day.

Uturn, I think a happy medium (pun intended) would be city owned vs privately owned property (yes?)….

The whole MBK/Resk thing is the result of a kid moving to Brooklyn for art school and back. He’s come a long way.

I miss the days of KBT, WH, EMS…

MBER, ISTO, ARMS, BASH, OB, SNOB, SEC, KEN 82

Even Raels and Evict bothered to hit this town.

It was there, they’re still around. The toys just put too much attention to the whole thing.

its a little far out for “urban” jax consideration, but the sheer athleticism required is impressive. i cant remeber the writer. it difficult to read as you weave under the overpass on the temporary bypass.
ill get a pic and e-mail it to Joey. he seems to collect graffiti photos.

\”I’m guessin they are thirteen or so, and live in the nieghborhood…maybe they grabbed an old can from dad’s garage and walked up the street… little punkolas!\”

My sentiments exactly. I wonder where all the real writers have gone. You don\’t see much from MBK or DPK \’round anymore. I\’m patiently waiting for the next bomb. I haven\’t seen anything good since the Matthew\’s expressway:

Hahaha, nothing like the smell of sarcasm in the afternoon.

I didn’t say I charged for doing murals on buildings. Far as my suggestion, it was just a suggestion.
