I feel like the -12 levels- premise was shoehorned into this video. It feels more like a general -this is graffiti- video. To actual show levels I think he could have gone more into different styles rather than 7 levels just being different steps of one piece.
Perhaps mention straight letters, wildstyles, advanced handstyles or techniques (flairs, etc, 3d art (I don't necessarily mean 3d models, I mean that most graffiti is 2d lettering or perhaps 2. 5d with drop shadows and depth, but certain artists draw legit 3d elements, sketchbooks, markers/mops/grease pens, stickers. So many different levels that could have been included instead of saying that a piece is 7 different levels.

I want to share this thought to help viewers understand the purpose of the video- This is NOT to promote vandalism that is missing the point, this is about artistic empowerment and process as well application, pick and chose your artistic practice or medium the blueprint is the same as is the message. I happened to be a part of a youth culture that was marginalized by society so our methods were unorthodox but ultimately democratized art making and engaged people around the world and ultimately rewriting art history. Put your prejudices aside for a moment and consider this.

Europe is covered in graffiti! I was surprised when walking down the streets of places like Berlin, Prague, Paris, and Rome. I-m not talking about the -hood- or some back alleys. It was all up and down major roads and tourist spots. It wasn-t bubble letters or big pieces, but there were a lot of basic (level 1 or 2) type tags. And if you ever take the train in Europe, you will see -masterpieces- all up and down the fence lines and buildings surrounding the tracks.

Why do I have that feeling like the guy's stuck in the 80s - 90s. Like, the explanation was really on point, but the examples were. not that good. Writing has really evolved and got an immense development, so letters like these look very. outdated? I'm not disrespecting the origins or something, I know very well that this is how graffiti started, but everything's changed.

I think it's quite egotistic to paint your name on public surfaces that everyone can see. I don't see much art in that graffiti. Furthermore i knew that those type of colors contain chemical substances that contribute to the hole in the ozone layer. So I disapprove strongly this type of art/vandalism.

-Style Wars, Award-winning graffiti documentary, 1983-
That documentary is responsible for bringing graffiti to Sweden. Graffiti wasn't really a thing here before they showed Style wars on tv in 1984 and after that writers started popping up left and right.

Graffiti art? Beautiful, stunning, a necessary part of public art and street art.
Graffiti tagging/putting your name up? Why. How egotistical are you to just put your name up everywhere? Most of the time it's illegible anyway. Who are you and why should I care.

I've always thought graffiti artists had extraordinary talent and wondered how it could best be used. You made those points and shared some verbiage I didn't know. It's good to know it has earned respectable accolades. Shake it Push it Paint it!

He is literally describing people going around and throwing up tags quickly to let people know he was there? and other people are going to do the same thing? I want to respect this art style but why is it always about vandalizing?
