Style vs Fills

Not sure if it is only an internal debate within Graff Inc or if it is a debate within all of the graffiti community. However we sure debate it from time to time what makes a dope piece. Some say it takes style alone and others say its fills and background.

Style is important, we're not saying it only takes crazy dope fills. The argument is that there are some "dope" writers that have mediocre or questionable style (no, we're not naming any) but can crush their fills and background. Those writers get a lot of credit but why isn't the lack of style recognized? Some of us say that as long as you got your own style and you get up while producing dope pieces if only the fills and such pull it together, than let it be. Others say it's only and all in the style.

This RAYS piece we sort of think finishes that debate (no not really). But! We are as close as ever before, ha-ha.

Graffiti Caps

Seriously, what is with all of the different caps these days? Do we really need 8 different kinds of skinny caps? Perhaps we'll sound old by saying this but back in my day we only had 4 different caps to choose from, ha-ha.  What we are saying is, if you can't put together a clean piece with 2-3 different kind of caps, you're not gonna do it with 6 other caps.

If a new cap is going to be released, let it be innovative. Give us a game changer, something we can use in a way like no other cap has been used. Who has time to buy all these different style of caps and try them out? Let's be honest, you find a cap, you're basically sticking with it for life as you would with your favorite brand of toothpaste. There might be something better out there but you're not going to be going off brand.

Besides, how are you going to be making all these caps and let NY Thins be discontinued? ...who does that?
