2007

A piece I did in 2007. Painting in such small sizes (this piece is max. 3m wide) is a bad habit I still try to get rid of. As I mentioned earlier, back in the days we didn't had fancy graffiti sprays, we painted with cheap household paints that were only available here. When we managed to get our hands on a few good spraycans, we used them only on small parts of the paintings, ie. the second outline or highlights (in this case the turquoise, light grey and yellows are some graffiti brands, everything else is regular non-graffiti paint). It was somewhere around 2007-2008 when the first graffiti shops opened their doors in Serbia, in most cases in Belgrade or Novi Sad. In few rare occasions skate shops also offered graffiti supplies at double price. I could recall almost every case when some toys in my city came home from a trip to a big city and thought they are now kings because they have two Montana's :) So, during my short career I learned to respect and value everything that I have and always tried to pull out the maximum from my supplies. Now, when I always have enough cans, I still find myself worrying about running out of paint, and this sometimes leads to small pieces and a bunch of leftovers. Anyway, I'm still enjoying this game and will continue to paint as long as I'm having fun while doing this.
