Doors open, come on in...

Good to see REVAMP up and about with these throwies and a few sticks...






I heard the other day that ERASE isn't in CFG anymore. It was his choice but the crews still tender about it.

Him and Happy aren't in the hoods good books at the mo either. They've been getting up full on - that's not so bad - it's just that even though they've been told, they haven't quite got the concept of 'don't shit in your own nest!'
In other words, they may as well be painting an image of a front door and tagging ERASE and HAPPY hang out here on it.Apparently they've been relieved of a stash of their cans but the damage is done and I suspect it's only a matter of (not very much) time before they get some visitors who are hot for them in all the wrong ways.

Call me any kind of genius but I'm guessing we'll be seeing some new names going up pritttttty soon...

CFG Whitewash

I swear CFG have gonads the size of Auckland for some of the shit they get away with...





None of it's classy but it's a fkn bold move!

The friend I was with wasn't sure he liked it but I pointed out that CFG just effectively buffed the whole alley for everyone else ;-)

Keeping An Eye On the Prize...

Erase's old man told me he was taking him and Happy to some graf comp out of town so when I caught up with them down Lefties yesterday, I wasn't surprised to find out they won.
Erase has always had the Can Gods in his back pocket. He inherited a shitload of them when Mephisto Jones split over to Oz and now him and Happy are flush with booty from the comp...



SIN rocked down as I was taking these images and watching the boys finishing off. He looked at the one above and said to Happy - At least it's got eyeballs!
Later on, when I had split from SIN, I saw this fresh one and chuckled to myself...
Man - I'm so stoked I got these images when I did cos CFG went on a mental block buster rampage and capped them all.
You can see them here tomorrow...

What was I thinking?! LOL!

Then there's the question whether FTP is a crew or just the statement Fck The Police? Someone thought they'd heard it was a world wide thing?
I can see that connection ;-)
What about Editor & Cast? Editor often has WK on his pieces but role calls some RTR...
And what about F is for Fun? I heard he was in FKB but got sidelined because he wasn't repping them enough. True/False?

As you'll see by the comments - getting some good info.
Want to be sure it's shizworthy though so confirms of the ? would be g

SCREAM | CFG

I walked up the alley and sprung DR just finishing the CFG.
I walked back down a few hours later and SCREAM was getting this up.
Creds to SCREAM for butting up against CFG and not doing a territory dog piss over it like so many would...

Lately I heard the Graf Kitchen's been generous with dishing up double helpings of Knuckle Sandwhich, including servings of Beef on the side.
Call me old fashioned but I was happy to hear this old school establishment doesn't use knives and forks and everyone's been using their fingers ;-)

CFG/NEONATE/LIGHTBULB MAN

Have to say it's the first time my pool ass has been whipped by a crew!
I was out with NeoNate and his girl when some CFGers came in. They were up for a game so games we played - 5 of them. Their pool style can only be described as unco but they just kept getting them down and I heard this rumour that's all that counts in pool.
I'm not going to make any wus excuses about my lack of form but the fact that Kwiva was playing with his cast on and still winning - well - lets just say I've suddenly got a case of Convenient Amnesia ;-)

DELT2 rocked in a bit later too. 

The Cue Room was totally the Writer Room that night...


It's taken me a good year to work out this is CAST.
I never said my name was Lightening Speed ;-)
And the lightbulb man. Haven't seen him for a while but good to have him back in the hood...

CFG

I just noticed CFG are now Cool Fools Graffin' - easier to spell and makes more sense ;-)

Progress Down The Alley...

So I found out that Erase WAS Erect as I suspected. Someone hit him up for biting them. It was such a vague connection that I put it down to Top Toy pecking order slobber where the Bitee probably felt threatened.
I mean - look up there, then look down here...these were done by the same guy exactly two months apart. That's got to be called stellar progress in anybody's toybox.



My favourite story this week was about Shiv from CFG doing fill for Erase on one of the pieces at the top. Apparently DR (also CFG) wasn't ecstatic about it and told Shiv none too eloquently, but Shiv kept doing it anyway.
Now that's what I'm talking about...
I already liked Shiv but he got a big fat 10 pointer in my blackbook for that deed. Tells me two things - he's not too big for his Vans AND he knows talent when he sees it and isn't too staunch and haterful to support it...

Sker/DR/CFG

Unless you're still saving for Laser Eye Surgery, anytime you walk around the Cuba Street area of Wellington, you'll see tags by Sker. I was pleased to finally see his throw up in LB. DR must've literally been breathing down Sker's neck when he did this because it was capped by him in seconds...


DR's crew are CFG. Crazy Fools Graffiting. I have to say that even though they capped Flox's (Cut Collective) exquisite Owl piece (which had a record run of staying clean about three months) at least they used a similar buff colour so Flox's background compliments their throwie.


I hear the Black Power tag the fist (above) and Mongrel Mob tags YFY or Yo Fuck Yo - Is that true? Let us know with a comment below.

Update: Apparently BP do both fist and YFY and MM tag SFH (Seig Fkn Heil)

Hate, from the FKB (Fat Kap Bandits) is one of those really interesting writers (as with most of the other writers in the crew) who does everything from rampant tags and stix right up to full wall pieces.
