art crimes = solid

I'm being all nostalgic right now and thinking about that feeling i had towards graffiti when it was still new to me, i've been trying to figure out how get a little piece of that back. I mean... i still love it, there's nothing better than that feeling at the of end of a day painting, stepping back and your piece is complete. Just saying to yourself yeahh i made this. I used to try to fall asleep, eyes closed and graffiti burners would flash though my mind as bright as day with styles i thought i was inventing morphing and moving like the opening credits of wildstyle. These days when i close my eyes at night i just fall asleep.
So im going back and looking at my old artwork from around that era from when i was still wet behind the ears to see if i can spark any of that back.
after a quick google search i came across the artcrimes blackbook section with some bitmapped looking scans of tern characters ( the letter e was so much more fun to draw than the letter u ). I have to say im impressed with artcrimes, these outlines have been on that site since before i even had aol and a an annoyingly loud dial up modem. The era of krylon dove gray, clover green, saftey purple and popsicle orange. Before german caps and before i knew about how the graff game is just a cool guy contest for most writers. (no offense cool guys)
