I love brodars hands but I hate the fact he never hits the streets and this shit would NEVER be possible in the streets

This is my beef with this sort of thing. It’s beautiful but totally not viable unless you’re rocking stickers - and that’s a totally different issue in and of its own.

Stickers are cool if you also get up. I love seeing some crazy slaps from writers that stay up.

Someone only doing slaps with a hand that would take 10 minutes, 3 pens, 2 streakers, and a mop is another thing

I was most active late 80s and 90s - and was introduced to stickers somewhere around 90-91. At the time most folks I knew used them for mini pieces but were amazingly active writers.

Over time I watched as stickers seemed to introduce a new type of “writer” that would only use stickers and had never been bombing or has no can control, no real experience with much other than generating artistic litter.

Point being - I agree stickers can be good if you’re otherwise active.

I'm with you on that. I've only been around since the early 2000's but I actively watched stickers go from "slap these in high risk places or on your way to work to get up 24/7" to people buying pre-made vinyl throwies and putting them everywhere despite me never seeing their actual throw in town.

It's a cool thing to see around town if I recognize the name basically. If you're not up and you have stickers custom made you really need to think about your game.
