Who do you favor most, Banksy or Blek Le Rat?

My personal favorite is Blek but Banksy has some very interesting pieces. Both have that very urban style that show patience as well as professionalism. But they both some how leave the art work to be very direct yet work with it very well to show their skills.

The reason I like Blek more is just the style. I’ve compared both works from both artists and I find myself more attracted to Blek’s edgy style compared to Banksy smooth and fluent works. I mean I have to give mad props to Banksy, he’s done some great pieces but on a more opinionated front I have to go with Blek.

I am not saying that Blek Le Rat is better than Banksy. Both artists are very talented. I’m just more attracted to Blek Le Rat’s works.

What do you guys think?

well for me since i see that you’re from the NW too if you have the time come up to seattle theres a freewall over here but basically just practice practice practice that’s what i did to get better. But there’s a site that usually go to www.12ozprophet.com filled with dope writers from seattle and what not you should check it out

Mos def, that sounds good. As for tips I meant nosel tips, need to buy some ha. As for writers, I’m not up to date. EDIT: I didn’t find a graffiti thread. Maybe we should have this dubbed so?

16

yeah but it seems that your more used to the forum so maybe you should start it up? haha and as for caps if you want a quick fill in you should go with an astro fat with that’s my favorite cap for fill-ins and for outlines and details go for a montana cap those always work best for me

If you guys want to start a new grafitti thread go ahead. I’ll close this one when you do.
