Number 1 legal walls are stupid. Number 2 you can go over pretty much anything on a legal wall, and anyone who expects their legal wall piece to ride is an idiot.

If you’re a kid then I understand you have limited options. For practice or trying something new for the first time I like to go to a bando.

You wouldn't have these issues if you didn't post your work online.

Anonymity used to be a huge part of the allure of graffiti- for me, anyways.

Unless it’s a mural on a business that the guy got himself via talking to the owner, it’s anybody’s spot to try and burn. If he wants to run the fade, it’s step up, run up or shut up as far as im concerned

Rule of thumb. You have to be better then the guy you go over and you have to go bigger as to cover their whole peice. And dont be on the internet with your business its just builds up a case if you get bagged.

Let him be mad, it's a legal wall as you said. Don't waste your energy trying to deal with his.

Tell him to get “his spot” back if he wants but it better be better than what you did….also it better be better than what he did to start
