    This is the best thing i have seen in my whole life with art. A contest by only using black markers. its the only thing that i could wish for. I hope they would have something like this in NYC. There should be one there since they opened up 5POINTZ along the 7 subway line in Queenz, NYC. Or they should have it in THE BRONX, NYC since i have seen the 2 train graffitied in the past! Including the redbird trains. ^^

    Great piece on an often neglected or demonized form of art. Thanks for a refreshing piece on street art!

    That was fantastic! I have a great appreciation for graffiti/street art. It''s underrated. I don''t think many people understand the talent that goes into it.

    Wow...that was just sheer unleashing of talent. I've never seen a crowd so worked up about someone drawing a picture before! Great stuff. Don't know if I could go up against a friend like that, though. Cool video, very well-made - forgot I was watching it through a screen!

    Great pod... There is a presence of short time throughout the entire piece that makes the audience aware of the challenge of creating a work of art so quickly. The lighting is beautiful, def spotlights the artwork and while the rest of the room is dark, it gives it that underground, anti-mainstream feel.

    Great pod i wish there were more events like this to show people that graf art is not all gang tags and deviants. It can also be done tastefully and respectfully. I mean who is really cares if some tags their name over the phone companies logo on a pay phone. I’m not saying that graf art should be made legal so it’s every where. I just think that cities should designate places around town as free expression area and try to educate people on the ethics of graffiti.

    This is the sweetest pod I have ever seen. Seriously, I have not watched a cooler pod yet. I love tagging and I love art and I love drawing, and this is awesome. I wish I could be there in person SO BAD. Freaking legit job dude.

    The thing that makes a good piece a great piece is liveliness and flare. Both of these have both. The varying line thickness and depth of the picture are really used to gfreat effect

    Nice Pod

    Dope. A Graf battle black marker white paint is nice. Next is choice of color w/ white, then two and white. This can get huge.

    The pic is raw. battles should be done w/o sketch, I believe, but a great piece was still born regardless.

    Tight pod! I remember LA graff artist, Kofie, battled it out live at the Hip Hop Stole Christmas SP event in 2000. It was real huge in SoCal back in 2000.

    awesome to see artists not just being creative with their drawings but with ways to help elevate their art form.

    This is a really cool pod. I wish I could just draw like that. My artistic life depends on an eraser and tons of planning before I ever actual create something.
