Capping

This is a great example of mindless graffiti. Tagging a graffiti piece which is now over 10 years old (painted 2005) is plain stupid. There's absolutely no logical reason. I understand some people's mission to not follow any rules, but really? The general saying "don't cap what you can't burn" isn't even a rule, its what writers do as a sign of respect to other writers and the broader culture. Respect your elders, and don't bring misogyny into graffiti.

Naser

Naser is one of a select few who has reached king status amongst the graffiti community. Naser has the ability to twist, turn and innovate letters, whilst still keeping the essence of the letter's structure. The pieces are made unique through the letters with big curves often ending in very sharp points. The 3D work is exceptionally flawless and consistent with the piece.  

Very few pieces use pink as a fill. Its a very light colour and not easy to work with, Naser has strategically used black in parts to emphasize the letters. 

Bullet-proof work

One of Melbourne's best.....

Belgrave Line Beef

Cevor and Sider have started a battle around the Belgrave-Lilydale train lines. Cevor deliberately wrote over one of Sider's most prominent pieces and said "You wanted it." Since this happened many of cevor's pieces have been capped in retaliation, including at Croydon, Ferntree Gully and Upwey train stations.

Utopian

Its a rare sight to see soft, feminine illustrations in the macho dominated graffiti culture. These characters depict the stereotypical thoughts of a  young, Western girl "I want a pony" or better "a unicorn". Its often refreshing to see work challenging the notion of traditional graffiti (where you have a name and you tag it to mark your territory). This work is different.... humble maybe where the artist remains anonymous with no signature attached.      

 Women represent a minority in "the industry" and many are more accustomed to street art where there is less competition and art is produced for the people, rather than graffiti being for graffiti artists. Strictly speaking this piece is graffiti with a contextual element of street art. The work utilizes the cooler, calm, colours of blues and green. The horse and unicorn have a sense of child-like, care-free joy!

Look a fresh new surface to paint. Tags and Throw-ups along the train line. 

Toys will be toys

Toy in graffiti is a term commonly used for a unskilled writer. Usually an experienced artist will tag the work with toy. Often artists will begin as toys but some are too old to remember what it was like. Over time you develop your style and maybe lose your toy status.

Showing strong disrespect to artist by writing on the piece. 

Turf war with toys

One artist has called a piece a toy and then another artist has said "NO WAY".
