Oh dear.

Why do you want to learn about NYC squigglers?

Let me tell you more about squiggling in NYC:
1. You squiggle
2. They clean it
3. You squiggle more
4. They clean it more
5. Already you have spent your money on squiggling (odds are you haven't got
much money).
6. Already they have spent YOUR money on cleaning (instead of on schools and
improved facilities).
7. You squiggle more.
8. They catch you and warn you.
9 You squiggle more.
10. You are spending more and more of your money on squiggling and they are
spending more and more of YOUR money cleaning and catching. Its like your
wanking habit - you just can't stop.
11. They catch you and put you in a young offenders pad (YOP).
12. You and your loved ones (if any) are sad and angry. You try to blame
them but deep down you know you are a fool.
13. One day in the YOP, you are buggered by a big black boy.
14. You are sadder and angrier and hope you aren't HIV positive.
15. They let you out of YOP.
16. A few months later you are back in YOP.

and on and on and on.

When will you learn?

Multi-Award Winning Documentary Filmmaker Releases (GV4), the Latest
Installment in a Series of Documentaries that Instructs in the Basic Techniques
for Creating a Graffiti Art Mural and Aerosol Art on Canvas .

Los Angeles, CA -- February 8, 2003 -- Following up on the success of the
Multi-Award Winning Graffiti Verite’ Documentary Video Series, Filmmaker Bob
Bryan has completed GV4, the ultimate Primer / Tutorial and Step-by- Step
Program on Spray Can Art. Most popular amongst Educators, the series has given
outsiders a rare glimpse into the outstanding Art and eclectic personalities
behind the controversial Graffiti Art Movement. In GV4, Cleveland, Ohio Artist
SANO (two-time winner of The International Graffiti Art Competition) pulls you
into the Underground Art form by showing the concepts, aesthetics, techniques,
and style needed to complete a perfect semi " Wild Style " masterpiece (on a
Legal Wall) as well as Aerosol Art on Canvas. GV4 is a "must-have-Video" for
Writers, Art Instructors, Art Students, Galleries, Museums, Libraries and
Educational Institutions who've been bewildered by the process and the Genius
of Spray Can Technique. As a "unique lesson plan," no other program exists in
the marketplace of ideas, that can compare to the inspiration, skill and
intelligence of GV4.

" Graffiti Art, is Art first! "Graffiti" in itself is a label applied to the
Aerosol Art Culture,
and usually carries the negative connotation that Graffiti Art is not a viable
Art Form.
However, to define Graffiti or Aerosol Art as scribbling or scrawling on a
wall,
or for an artist to let his tool dictates his or her style of work, is
detrimental
to the idea of being an artist in this Art Form. I'm an artist, that's all! My
medium
of choice for the past fifteen years has been spray paint, though I can rock
with
markers, watercolors, pen, pencil, acrylics, airbrush, or on a computer,
whatever. "
-SANO, Graffiti Artist / Instructor


"Graffiti found typically, but not exclusively on the walls of our urban
cities,
clearly unveils the angst driven drama that exists within the psyche of the
Graffiti Writer, as well as, in our conflicted egocentric society. Graffiti
dares
to show us what we've become !! For many people this is a very difficult
reality to come to grips with, especially if you're in denial of any
complicity!
Graffiti Art mirrors the best and worst elements of our society, period.
Folks are ignorant about Graffiti Arts’ history and power. Graffiti Art is a
direct
expression of societies' psychological state of mind , it's an 'in-your-face'
sign
of our times and deserves our understanding and respect! "
- BOB BRYAN, Executive Producer / Director


GV4 has a bold and beautiful life-affirming voice! SANO sheds a positive light
on the stereotypical misunderstandings and mystique behind the discipline and
creative process involved in Aerosol Art. GV4 takes you inside the mind of SANO
as he conceptualizes and creates his work, while simultaneously declaring his
love for the medium, the madness, and the Art form.

GV4 is accompanied by 25 of todays’ most gifted and freshest Music Producers
working in the business today. Contributing 32 Original Songs, GV4 is worth the
price of admission just to hear these incredible musical compositions.

Movie Reviews

January 31, 2003 ".....Just got finished watching the tape. It looks great,
very captivating. Sano is insano, if you know what I mean? He's very talented
and made it look so easy. The film was not long and drawn out and Sano was not
only fun to watch, but he's great at verbalizing while painting...... I can't
wait to play it for my friends. If I was an art teacher, I would use this in
my class."

February 2, 2003....Sano definitely took his audience to school on this film.
Not only did he walk the viewer through many aspects of art theory, he would've
made allot of the old school Cleveland writers real proud by being so honest
about his influences. Both pieces he did on the tape put my 10 year-old son,
who is an aspiring artist, in total awe. Since watching GV4, I've been
sketching out wild-style letters and tagging on nearly any blank piece of paper
I can find, which is something I haven't been motivated to do in over 10 years.
He made me feel it again, you know? GV4 is a solid documentary, no doubt.

I just watched the tape yesterday with some of my friends. The video is packed
with great information about graffiti...Sano is a very talented artist, and he
did an effective job in articulating upon both the technical and more
artsy/metaphysical aspects of graffiti art... Overall this was a good video, my
friends and I enjoyed it and were most impressed by the visual and musical
artwork it contained.

February 2, 2003... "Wow what can I say? Over the years I think I've seen all
the Graffiti Videos out there and hands down this is the first Documentary that
I feel really showed me something! Not only is Sano humble and informed, but
he is also an
incredible Artist! With his steady and clear instruction I was able to
understand what it takes to create a serious piece with Spray Paint. It ain't
easy, I can tell you that!! Although not a Graffiti Artist myself , I've always
been curious about the process that the Graffiti Artist must go through. Now I
know.... Props to Mr. Bryan for having the vision to offer up this impressive
How-to-do video. I can't wait to apply these new techniques on my backyard wall
and later on Canvas in my classroom." --A. Davio / Art Instructor

February 2, 2003..."I thought it was great!...Sano knew exactly what he was
talking about. Any "writer" would agree he knows the rules and the way real
Graff should be. The part about burners going over pieces, and pieces going
over throw ups, and throw ups going over tags was right on the money.

He had good can control, and was able to explain exactly what he was doing
every step of the way. I've always been one to be against sharing our last
untapped art form with the public for fear it would be diluted and it's origins
forgotten. But I think videos like this give it the respect it deserves before
it's looked at as just another hip culture wagon to jump on.

It's always been hard to explain to people how deep Graff really is. For years
it was laughed at by art institutes, and scorned by the police and the inner
city community. But in the last 8 or so years there seems to have been a change
in the way many folks view Graff mainly because the corporate world saw another
way to get the attention of the youth. None the less, I as a longtime Graff
artist, and Hip hop purist truly appreciate the work you've done here. Soldiers
like Bob Bryan help maintain our culture's respect."
More peace,

"Be very selective of your heroes"

February 4, 2003..."GV4 was definitely well put together. My man Sano is an
Artists & he appreciated it, so that must be a good thing!.Good stuff!! Keep up
the good work..."
