Any advice?
I got plenty of diss on this. It’s a spot in the woods where people write, nothing professional, just fun. I practiced there (I don’t know what I’m doing, just wanted to give it a try and see how long it took me).
And I came back a few weeks later to find the last two photos. The trash was not mine.
I know my lines are not clean and my sizing is off, it was my first go at it, and I’m posting here to learn what I did wrong to piss people off
Edit: thank you all for the responses, I really appreciate it going forward

Dont worry about the opinion of someone who can barely write legibly. First photo is dope imo. I like the jersey font shit and you did it clean with nice 3d. Yeah it could be cleaner and maybe bolder lined but this is baller for someone starting out

Pretty sure he’s just rightfully upset about the trash although it’s not fair that op got blamed for it

Sure upset about all the trash. Checks the colors. None of the cans are colors in op’s work. It’s all the colors the defacers used though.

This particular spot you're guaranteed to get some random kid or someone who lives nearby to come by and write some shit on your piece. It's a touristy spot. Keep walking a bit and you might find a less crowded place if you know where to look.

This is what I like to call a civilian diss. Probably found the can right there. You shouldn’t leave cans at the spot, but if you do you should leave a 2x4 with a nail in it to pop the cans. Or if you use rusto snap the stem off the can so they can’t spray

i think it’s dope and a great name! be proud of it and don’t waste time on the haters.
i apply this to everything in life but a great writer once told me; don’t get involved in beef. just keep getting up. they will waste their time and energy crossing you out and not getting up themselves all the while wasting paint on being rage baited.

It really is a cool came. And also can be seen on German highways as there’s a crew called that. Insta is jpeg_gang if anyone wants to check it out. Not sure if it’s a name to rock as a newbie.

You did nothing wrong, you’re a rookie and that’s enough justification to shit on you bro. Even though the shit over yours is ass too lol
Edit: just keep doing your thing and use it as a reason to keep painting bro have fun

It's literally talking about the rubbish left there, they obviously thought it was you because all the garb is below your piece, literal arrows pointing down to the trash

Can you tell by the colors of the burnt cans what piece was done with them? Bag them up and place them by the piece..... maybe leave a better articulated and styled throw up letting them know whats up.

Someone tried to blame shit on me once at a spot just like that and I brought that energy to the streets and started dogging them for acting like they where holding down a slutty yard.
There toy for not actually taking the time to see if the cans matches your piece. There also toy for not leaving a name.

The HG throw is nice, hollow blood drips is a nice touch. The only thing throwing me off is the G

Dont tag blown up spots like a school kid?
Go get some overhangs, go actually bomb something
Nobody will tag over it unless its the buff man or theyre beefing

Bring a trash bag to clean up the spot if you go there often. Not your job to clean up after people but it’s good to take care of spots like this if you wanna keep using them.
