Hi and thanks. Everything is fine, but of course, as for most of us, the pandemic has changed plans for this year and I should have canceled some trips and projects for this period, and its beginning coincided with my move to a new apartment, so this time was a bit stressful. I had an artistic crisis until June and I was not so active on the streets or at home with sketches or canvases, but I used this time for pondering about concepts of my style and ideas for the next pieces and canvases. The summer was more eventful with local jams and festivals and I returned to normal life more or less.


Originally, I am not from Poland so it is difficult for me to compare how it was in the beginning, but in my opinion, here is one of the strongest graffiti and street-art scenes in Europe nowadays. There are many local graffiti jams and slightly fewer international festivals such as Meeting of Styles, Street Wars, Frame festival etc. There are a lot of talented graffiti writers here in Poland.


In the beginning, I had different graffiti names but over some time, I found that those letters, which I have now, are the most variable and have a lot of options to build new shapes and keep flexible dynamics of the whole piece.


As I mentioned, for me my letters presented as one living organic form inspired by brain activity, where could exist mutations, diseases, hallucinations which I retranslate in my graffiti works with using some elements of Opart, glitch distortions, cloning letters and putting inside other letters ( or whole 2 pieces inside one)

With this style I would like to show versatility unlimited possibilities of working with the graffiti letters.


As for the colors, first of all I have always had a focus on outlines. However, when you collaborate with other writers and paint joint production, sometimes you have to use the same colors. So here always was a problem to me, because usual gradients and one color outline I have long ceased to interest.


In my case, I very rarely share my canvases or large-format works on social media and most of them are unseen. I sell my artworks directly to collectors when they are interested to get some of my paintings or sketches in their collections, and at such moments, I appreciate working with such people, because they got acquainted with my ideas and concepts, and also know exactly why they came to me.

Though the style you choose for your graffiti letters is ultimately up to you, there are a few standards that go for all graphics. Method one outlines a simple, foolproof way of creating vivid, stylized graffiti letters; method two takes on the same task in a more complex, skillful manner. Pencil at the ready!


The irony was not lost on Timothy Kephart, the founder of GraffitiTracker, a web-based solution that helps identify, track, prosecute and seek restitution from graffiti vandals. Cleanup of graffiti-based vandalism costs in excess of $12 billion annually in the U.S., according to a 2015 study by the paint company Valspar.


Fortunately for law enforcement, the psychological motivations that drive a graffiti vandal to commit the crime also impel them to leave a trail of clues to their identity, location and affiliations. Understanding the different motivations of each type of graffiti is critical to understanding how to combat it.


While graffiti artists like Banksy make headlines, graffiti as artistic expression represents only a tiny percentage of graffiti worldwide. The two most prevalent categories of graffiti vandalism are gang graffiti and tagging graffiti.


Roll call graffiti is a listing of the monikers of two or more members of the same gang, along with the gang name or symbol. Paying attention to the monikers that appear together gives law enforcement clues about the identities of gang members and their cliques.


Monikers can also indicate to police when there is an escalation of violence. An X crossing out a moniker means that gang member is targeted for murder or an attack. Wings on a moniker are a tribute to a slain gang member and may be a clue to law enforcement that rival gangs will be seeking revenge.


GraffitiTracker also records evidence that allows law enforcement to track activity, trace it to a specific tagger and build a case for prosecution that can result in arrest and restitution. Not only does this benefit the community by reimbursing some of the costs of graffiti abatement, the intervention can keep a young graffiti vandal from a life of crime.

The urban art industry has observed as professional graffiti writers moved from an almost illegal panorama to working with permissions at street art festivals. Some of them have even dedicated their careers to practice with wildstyle, bubble graffiti letters or more defined and skillful typography.


If you pay attention to the local urban art movement, you will easily step into a graffiti legend called Pastron #7. Although he scaffolded to a higher level due to his studies, he has always been linked to the old school.

The L.A. City Council approved nearly $4 million in city funds on Friday for the unfinished Oceanwide Plaza towers in downtown that have been in the spotlight since photos of its graffitied exterior went viral weeks ago. Just days ago, a parachuter was videotaped jumping off from the top of one of the skyscrapers.


The motion was authored by Councilman Kevin de Len, whose Council District 14 covers the area where the buildings are located. It allots the money for graffiti removal and security of the three towers near the Crypto.com Arena. It hopes to recoup the funds from the developer, Chinese firm Oceanwide Holdings Co. Ltd. Construction.




$1.1 million of the city's funds will go to fence off the property, while $2.7 million will fund security and removal of the graffiti tagging on about 30 floors of the towers. The council also directed the city attorney to find a legal avenue to recoup the money from Oceanwide.


After footage of graffiti on each floor of the towers went viral, the city gave Oceanwide until Feb. 17 to remove the graffiti from the towers and fence off the abandoned luxury complex. The council allotted the funding after it became clear that Oceanwide would not meet the deadline.


Construction of the towers began in 2015 before stalling in 2019 after the developer ran out of funds. In January, the city declared the property was substandard "due to inadequate sanitation caused by general dilapidation or improper maintenance."




Oceanwide and city officials have both been players in federal investigations of city officials for bribery and money laundering. Oceanwide, along with former L.A. city councilmen Curren Price and Jos Huizar, was named in an FBI search warrant against the email account of Raymond Chan, the former head of the L.A. Department of Building and Safety.


Graffiti is an essentially single-stroke shorthand handwriting recognition system used in PDAs based on the Palm OS. Graffiti was originally written by Palm, Inc. as the recognition system for GEOS-based devices such as HP's OmniGo 100 and 120 or the Magic Cap-line and was available as an alternate recognition system for the Apple Newton MessagePad, when NewtonOS 1.0 could not recognize handwriting very well. Graffiti also runs on the Windows Mobile platform, where it is called "Block Recognizer", and on the Symbian UIQ platform as the default recognizer and was available for Casio's Zoomer PDA.
