In fact, he was right there watching us, completely enthralled by it all. If you go to my Flickr photoset, you can actually see the guy hanging out on a half-wall -- an older asian man. He was a really nice guy.<BR/><BR/>KatieK, thanks for the compliments. You can find the wall on the side of VT Automotives, at 1155 South Cobb Drive. It's on the left side of the road if you're going south.Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122951682220464742005-08-01T20:01:00.000-07:002005-08-01T20:01:00.000-07:00I just wanted to say that I love your art, and you...I just wanted to say that I love your art, and your honesty about your family life.

I'll use NY thins for some of the bigger cutting details, such as shaping in the fill colors. I'm still needing to work on some of my can control, as I feel that I'm not utilizing the caps to my advantage. That's what happens when you don't have a mentor, I guess.<BR/><BR/>cate kelly -- you're right, I should've had a respirator on (the mask). I do own one, but did not bring it. Don't know what I was thinking. Considering that my pieces are not too involved, I don't usually need it, whereas the other guys tend to work on larger pieces, taking longer. But i'm making excuses here, so now I'll stop.<BR/><BR/>Hey there Allan, thanks for the comment. As for my introduction to graffiti, rest assured, you'll find out soon enough. I'm working on a post about my thoughts on graffiti, including how I got into it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, guys!Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122783686044582372005-07-30T21:21:00.000-07:002005-07-30T21:21:00.000-07:00Lookin' good, Ward!

I dig the paid productions of TATS (Fat Joe's crew), and can appreciate incredibly ballsy antics of Cope 2 (dude, have you ever seen <I>Kings Destroy</I>? Nuts!). Personally, I too, have a healthy respect for the law, so I don't bomb. I've dropped the odd sticker here n' there, but nothing major.<BR/>I was wondering...what was your introduction to writing?Allan Lordehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401964397804979720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122783471721512962005-07-30T21:17:00.000-07:002005-07-30T21:17:00.000-07:00First, let me say I think this is awesome.
