Remember the oldies

We are a Graffiti crew from Sofia-Bulgaria. There are six members at this time: Eric, BZA(Bizaro), Sticky, T-kid2, Chromo and Eridanus. Sometimes we write together and sometimes everyone creates his own projects. Our work is illegal except few works. We think that the illegal Graffiti are the real one but with legal graffiti the writer can earn good money and can make his work better(and after the legal working there are always so many cans left...). You must feel the fear of cops to estimate the real value of some work. Some do it for money but we do it for the FAME... and for money sometimes. Buty you have to write illegal to be a real Graffiti artist.

The summer is the perfect time to write but in the winter it gets dark earlier and the darkness is very important for our illegal decorations. Cold, cold, cold-the cold is the first problem, the second is the wet walls. But ofcourse nothing and nobody can stop us to keep writing on the ugly gray walls and fences in our hood, in our district, in our CITY!!! (maybe one day in the all country-why not?)

At this time the Graffiti art in Bulgaria is in stage of development. More and more artists and crews appear across the country and more and more aerosol fly up to the sky. If you want to learn how to do it good, you have to do it many, many times. Don't copy styles, just take elements and ideas from them but don't steal them whole, it is stupid, just the real motherfuckin' toys do this. Respect the writers before you. Respect the oldschool kings of Graffiti: Bando, Shoe, Deen, Dream, Seen... and all others.
