foes is a crew...maybe u know dat but da way ya wrote doesn sound like ya do.....

Actually I figured FOES was a tagger seeing as I was watching as he did a piece outside Allcity, seen his tag foes, foesuek and I basically gathered that seeing as uek was with foes it was his tag. I rarely, if ever see two crews tags together though.If FOES is a crew, then what does it stand for?

Djddd1

That was Kube and He ment Kube friends All city and Foes Uek is seen mainly were permission is sough to paint, Hense them the meanning Friends/Foes Uek. It is person nore kru.

Dathai

Well the guy that did the piece has some skill anyways. Oh and Djddd1 whats your tag?

FX Meister

Foes started off meaing F*uck Off, just FO. Then it became plural, sort of like FOs. Originnated by Dice and Trie.

Djddd1

Yes Kube has alot of skill. I don't write. What do you write? But Fx I was told it meant Friends. *Plese note I'm not say it does'nt mean that aswell.

He's actually Marty Whealen from RTÉ. He's been looking for something cool and edgy to do since he started that new day time granny show, Open House or some bollocks

He has even turn grey since he realized the Garda where after him! And Drop is Ann Doyle.

An article on Galway Advertiser: "Council must crack down on graffiti 'hooligans' says O'Flaherty"

Looks like they want to "put graffiti in a box" or, in other words, have a nice place for some selected 'good' artists to put their pieces and to crack down on all the others.

I wonder if a decent graffiti artist would be even proud to be on the official 'good' list and how far these 'official' graffiti pieces will be from the real thing. There is already at least one official place with graffitis but some of those framed things look more like paintings than graffiti.

Last week ESB workers gave a fresh coat of paint to the ESB Substation beside the recently refurbished Walter Macken Flats in Mervue. The substation was painted in beige and cream, the same colour as the flats. However on Tuesday Cllr O'Flaherty was informed that the substation was covered in graffiti. "The paint was hardly dry on the substation before it was covered with graffiti," she told the Galway Advertiser. "I think it's outrageous what these hooligans have done."

Poor them. Having that substation in beige and cream must have been really important to the city. Do they want to control all forms of art?

Djddd1

Painting the walls in cream is just asking for them to be painted in fairness, Also people don't relise when they paint a wall in grey it is the perfect color for bomb, Throw or whatever.

The Kilmacud luas stop has some really good pieces that have been framed and put up. Ones in the shape of an arrow pointing to the stairs. I like them

Djddd1

I have pictures of them some where on my forum if you want to see them.

Well I have always loved graffiti, and did a little writing locally myself but I never got involved in the scene so I never developed.

However lately having finished college I've been thinking of getting some kind of coverage for these people, maybe an interview for a mag Ive to submit an artilce for so if any writers want to give me an interview via e-mail let me know by pming me.

I may even go along to the Bridge Jam this year although I would feel odd considering I know none of them and Im not a writer.

I'm fascinated by the graffiti I see around Dublin and have been taking photos of it etc.

BTW there is stuff in there by UE/UEK. Does anyone know what UEK35 (I know what UEK means but the not sure about the numbers) and UEK99 signify.

Feel free to use any of the photos that you like just credit me with taking them.

The guy who writes UEK 99 has an ice cream van. It's his way of marking his territory and means other ice cream vans can't do business there.
The guy who writes UEK35 was writing it to celebrate the number of days he was doing graffiti when it lead him to being born again as a christian.
