MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! YALL THE BEST PRESENT ANYONE COULD EVER GET!
you too man
merry xmas ya focker :D
Xmas graffti
Merry Christmas bro
MERRY CHRISTMAS LAD🔥🔥🔥
I used to live in a house near some active tracks and i loved watching the trains go by with all their different artwork. To me graffiti is the purest form of art in the modern day. There's no money it, and barely any recognition. It's actually dangerous to be recognized as an artist. That makes the main reason behind doing graffiti nothing more than the desire and impulse to create something beautiful and send it out into the world.
Haven't thought about it this way. Good take.
Agreed, I like the way you put that.
Wish every was like you 🤣
"There's no money in Graffiti"
Banksy left the chat...
While that is beautiful, I'm not particularly fond of that sentiment. People often use it to devalue the work of highly paid artists, especially in the music industry, as they call them "sell outs" simply by making it big. When you make a lot of money with any other job people congratulate you at being good at your work, but artists supposedly aren't allowed to make a living lest they sacrifice their artistic integrity
Ngi you hit me hard man, someone who's dealt with depression, suicide my entire life this art always been apart who I'm till this day is been there for me at my worst. Art in general always been apart my life but when came to graffiti it was always bitter sweet relationship yet again I've met some most down earth writers made really good friends over the years didn't matter what state there from or other side of the world,the brother hood & sister hood and the bond sharing same love different styles, backgrounds all walks of life since then I've kinda let it take the back seat in my life went down different paths with my art but still remains within me always has so it never really left apart who I'm.
I always think of it like this: Graffiti is to Calligraphy, what Rap is to Poetry.
It's not that different. But it's more raw IMO. (Great vid!)
so damn true!! and thank you so so much
Loved the way you phrased this bro
That's not really a compliment for graffiti... I'd say graffiti is like hip hop, rap is more like throwing shit at a wall until it sticks.
I always love looking at the colourful, creative and witty graffiti around me living in an otherwise drab urban centre. I haven't done it much or regularly, but when I have it's been electric. When I do it, it's because I wanna give back and contribute to make other's commutes more interesting, as well as for the fun of it. That feeling that the whole environment around you is a canvas to be doodled on will never *not* be thrilling to me.
You nailed it man. Graff is therapy for most writers and an addiction. From my experience, people who do it as a hobby often grow out of it. People who are hardcore writers usually have mental health issues. Most of them have serious trauma, substance abuse or addiction, were abused as children, come from broken homes, have neurological issues like ADHD, anxiety disorder or/and depression. My psychiatrist thinks I have an obsession with it as a form of escapism. People who risk jail and potentially prison for writing on shit are not normal people. That's why violence, addiction, beef, and ego's are so ingrained in graffiti. It's a reflection of the people who perform it. It's a huge source of therapy for me, and I find it very relaxing even though it should cause me anxiety. Thanks for posting this. I really appreciate this video way more than usual. I hope youngsters see this and learn something from it. Either just do it for fun, only do it as a hobby, or realize it's therapeutic value and don't let the addiction consume you. Youfo really is a legend
Edit: You already know I watch till the end
Why's your comment edited?
It’s definitely a hobby for me but it’s got aspects of obsession and drive to create against forces that be. Sorta like outcry against the world for being cruel and plain
my man, i always appericate you commenting!! always so dense as well
because he watches my videos until the end 😘
hey youfo how are you doing ive been watching you for a while now and you really change my mind about graffiti, i always thought graff was just a kid making a tag on a wall because hes a bad kid, but now i know that it can be works of art too MERRY CHRISTMAS YOUFO🧡🧡🧡
Your statement about "wall permission" means the world to me.
I am not good at keeping a secret.
I tell everyone about my street art even though I haven't done much.
I send anonymous letters to building owners before I do my work.
While not enough to get me to change the way I do things, I did feel the imagined judgment of a faceless community.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
happy new year!!
@@youfosignhere Holy moly! This is only the second time in my life a RUclips creator has responded to my comment.
Anyway, I have a computer controlled laser cutter. I use it to make stencils. Then I use the stencils on walls in layers with spray paint to make art. My goal in 2023 is to get at least 1 new work up in the world every month, hopefully more.
Would you say r/streetart is the best place to post work and learn the craft?
Can you recommend other communities?
oh man that’s awesome that you have a lazar cutter!! and oh man just the street art scene is really for thst !
What started as a random search on tagging has become an exploration in the history, culture, people, and art of it all. Your videos have been such a cool resource both in developing my understanding and style. I've even started seeing and appreciating all the tags and graffiti around the places I walk and drive, it's really cool. Thank you for the killer content!
my man!!
Do you have some advice on how to get educated about graffiti? I love and appreciate it but know very little.
@@nabilal-dam2325 It's actually surprisingly simple, just plunge yourself in and search where you get curious! Hi-key watch YOUFO (super chill), The Artist Block (educational art wise), DOKE (fun stuff), etc anything that snags you.
I just started with "How to Tag | Sanoizm | Graffiti for Beginners" from VincaniTV. Learning the terms and the history and the culture is really what makes modern graffiti special to me, and I just followed that lol.
The documentary "Quality Of Life (2022) Part 2 -NYC Graffiti Documentary-" by JWF Documentaries was also really interesting. I think about the only way you could go wrong researching is believing you know everything and that everything you watch is true. Just dive in and have fun! (fullstop YOUFO is a great place to start, you're in great hands)
I started and still do it's as a relief, for a long time I didn't want to live. I didn't see a point, but by graffiti it made me get out of my house and start doing something fun. It also was a coping mechanism, knowing that if I die my name wil be known and spread across my city. I still have that reason and I will definitely not be stopping anytime soon.
yeah true man :/
I literally stopped at 7:07, went to newest comments, and wondered why everyone was saying “Thai resteraunt” lmao
ahaha there ya go!
I've been on a self-reflection journey this past year and I've been seeing so many things like this leading up to people's mental health. It's just insane to me that there's stuff like this happening that's deemed illegal can be linked to people's past or experiences that would've seriously altered their behavior to drive them to express themselves a certain way, like making themselves known on walls by writing their name on them. Thank you so much for sharing this. Thai Restaurant
thank you for sharing man
My view on graffiti has changed drastically in the course of just a couple of years. At first, I thought that graffiti was a very bad thing, and that it was annoying and ugly, but then one of my good friends actually started teaching me a little about graffiti, and showing me some cool things, and as time grew on I really began to respect graffiti, and graffiti artists. Now, I've started to really become interested in making graffiti, and I also really enjoy making stickers. I've put a whole bunch of stickers up now, and it's become a hobby I've really come to enjoy. Also, this is a really great video and I love all of the points you made. Thai Restauraunt!
The throwup on the thumbnail was done by jazz, an almost all-city writer in milan in Italy. I see him around almost everyday. Thanks for sharing such a legendary pic!
legend man!!
you got it all on point man, thanks for actually telling people that its more then just a tag
man thank you heaps for commenting ! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
@@youfosignhere same to you man!
I'm a-ok with graffiti (legal or otherwise) when it's being used for artistic expression. When it's just an illegible word copied in white paint, though, it stops being an expression of anything genuine.
Be it weird faces, amateurish imagery, or elaborate scripts, it doesn't have to be a masterpiece, it just has to be original.
Graffiti for me has always been a "bad" habit with good results. It inspires creativity,Planning, organization, confidence, Principal, It inspires travel, it's often given me motivation and gives an amazing sense of accomplishment. Plus there nothing better than thinking that an entire police force,private security,fences,cameras and alarms can't stop you from getting your message out 💪 Another great video Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Also Thai restaurant
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
It's just petty crime
Not so much that they can't stop you as the fact it would just cost a lot of time that police would rather use for actually important crimes
do you have any resources for learning about graffiti in ireland? I'm really interested but I can only find some reddit posts. maybe I'm not looking hard enough...
Its annoying having to clean that off my fathers property. If your gonna draw somewhere don't draw on the place we're renting out to people.
yeah that’s fair
I 1000% agree on you with this one. People should not be spraying on active properties especially ones that people live in and make a living off of, although i do think that graffiti should be allowed to an extent as long as they follow the "rules"
graffiti is a symptom of brutalism.
like cough and runny nose and feeling like shit are symptoms of a disease.
which is what brutalism is, a disease of architecture.
mmmmhmmm…
That's a pretty good observation. The only thing I'd add is that brutalism isn't inherently brutal, that's just how capitalist society has manifested it. Brutalism (derived from the French for raw concrete "beton brut") is bringing ought the potential of concrete as a material to serve a purpose. This purpose has unfortunately usually been to produce cheap buildings and create an oppressive atmosphere
i wouldn’t agree with this, i live in a very old beautiful town that has very little brutalism but is still covered in graffiti
A legend is back with a new video!!! Btw merry x-mas YOUFO! :D
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
I don't get why a lot of graffiti writers don't like street art. They're literally getting paid to do graffiti. Good for them.
some odd stigggma man , some reckon graff is meant to be illegal while others are chill with street srt
Because we don’t want it to be legal - the thrill is from getting away with something illegal..
@@jjk9374I mostly mean street art. Like I get why they don't like writers doing legal murals with their name, but I mean like a mural of like a tiger or something, and some writer goes over it and writes fuck street art.
I love these longer videos it’s awesome vids like this needs to get out to the non writers ans inform people. Cus if they cared so much they would look up videos like this and not just listening blindly to the news for example. Great video man! Tie restaurant 🔥
thank you so much man! really glad you enjoy !
Great video! As always! Keep it up man, your getting so big!!!
thank you so much!!
Sawasdee Krub, and a colorful 2024. Nice vid. to show some of my colleagues from work who ask me what that graffiti I'm doing in the weekends, is all about
niceeee
6:04 green and pink piece is so simple yet to me feels like the best piece ive ever seen
sooo true!
This is too true dude, I personally do it to just look at my work, feel proud, and do it again it’s like a cycle.
Thai restaurant.
thank you man!
Merry Xmas and Thai restaurant!
merry xmas !! thank you for watching!
I loved this video so much! I loved the pics and your commentary was great, im also happy to see how much sponsors your getting!!! Thai resteraunt
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
I remember growing up near a large concrete structure (not quite sure what to call it, not a building or anything) somewhat close to my house. It was covered in graffiti, and of course there was some that absolutely should not have been there (hate symbols), but so much of it was beautiful. It was always amazing to go see the new additions after a couple of weeks.
Thai Restaurant
This video poped on my feed and I loved it! Really cool video mate
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching
I like doing it because i like making things that people will see... thats the best way I can explain it.
for sure!
my first graff was crap and it was difficult and i think i inhaled some paint. its hard to sneak the paint out and in of the house, but it's 5yrs till im 18 so i'll start doing graff then
The quality and effort is hard to miss.
thank you so much man
Love the longer videos youfo!
much love man!! glad you like em!
This videos was great bro !! Couldn’t have said it any better fire vid !!

man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
Thai restaurant? Lol man this video was so well done and super important. This is something i think everyone needs to understand
so good to hear
I like how you mentioned at the end other people have your stickers and put them everywhere. It's like there's a little Youfo army somewhere, haha
Yeah man ;)
Thoughts on graff heads who just like pen tags, stickers, scribes and without using spray paint??
that’s alright man? still getttttin up
I mean honestly it’s like architecture these days is really art so graffiti is kinda nice.
yeah man!!
*not
I actually had seen some guys tagging my local Thai restaurant, it did feel disrespectful but I couldn't explain why 'til I watched this video and the unwritten rules video. I didn't actually know much about tagging beforehand, but always had an interest.
Merry Christmas youfo.Thai restaurant Is a way to celebrate..yum
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
Youfo ur awesome🙏💯 Ur videos are the best and always super chill to watch. Thai Resturant🙏🙏
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!

Merry Christmas bro

Absolutely love this guy’s video!!!😂😂😂
thank you heaps !!
Love the uploads Youfo! Thai restaurant and merry Christmas!
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
To anyone else struggling right now: GO OUT AND BOMB. That shit will make you happier than a clam. It’s not an exaggeration when I say graf saved my fucking life. My soon to be ex wife fucking hated it, but I wouldn’t stop (don’t think I could). We’ve been separated for like two months but after I found out she was seeing someone else I was ready to fucking end it. The only reason I didn’t swan dive from a water tower a few weeks ago is bc I wanted to see how my fill in looked. I’m still hurting but it makes me happy to think about how much it must piss her off to see that massive fill-in every time she leaves the house.
If you’re feeling down, the best cure is getting up.
yesss
It helps so much
I grew out of it, I have adhd. I only did it on walls that already had grafitti on them.
i feel you man
Well, now that you’ve got me thinking of that Thai restaurant. 😅
hahaha enjoy
Happy early Christmas man love the vids you deserve so much more subs and veiws keep up the good work 🐐
thank you heaps man!!!
Merry Xmas Youfo
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
There are also people who get paid to do legal murals for businesses but under a pseudonym still conduct in the every day life of illegal graffiti *u’d b surprised* 💯💪🏽☮️🎨💜
oh wow
Im gonna sound kinda weird but is there an anime about graffiti??? I think theres so much depth to the community(or communities?) that it would be super neat to see it adapted into animation.
there might be man
Awesome video!!!
Thai restaurant
thank you heaps !
Got to understand more about the graffiti. Thank you for the provision of useful information
thank you heaps for watching!
Feels good to have someone say what I’ve felt. Great video 🫡
thank you so much
These pieces enhanced my high 🔥🎄
hehe
I used to do it because I like the way it looks.
true true
For me it’s kinda an escape from reality.
Thai restaurant btw
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
@@youfosignhere thanks! You too man!
You really nailed it with this Vid💯, love your work💥
man thank you so much!
Went on the train with some food from my local Thai Restraunt and my pens fell out of my pockets right in front of the guard.... feels bad man
Oooooo damn bro
I got some varnish to cover my marker tags so they can’t get buffed easy. I don’t have any beef with other writers and I probably never will but the graffiti cleanup squad can eat one lol. Big fond of my local Thai restaurant lol
ooooo mint!! that’s a good as idea
I really don't like to bomb residential areas, or just places where it just doesn't look like it belongs there. I can't speak for everyone but I feel like graffiti brings integrity to the areas it should be in. Under passes, under bridges, freighters, abandoned buildings. Things of that nature. I don't always follow the rules. But I do draw lines as to where I'll bomb. I'm nowhere near great at bombing. But I will get a up with a mop or do a little throwie or a few stickers atleast twice a day. But I like seeing other people's tags. I'm very observational and I'll take mental notes of who's where and hidden spots and I'll map it out and strategize a plan. Because I think that's the best part and most important part of bombing. Doing your homework 💯
yeah :/ i heard someone tagged my local cemetery just recently.. like wow that’s so disrespecful
@@youfosignhere yeah super disrespect. Should get pulled to the side and talked to real quick. Can't do stuff like that makes the rest of the crowd look bad
graffiti keeps down rent prices!
@@twigwigsoso 😂😂😂😂

Psychedelics love fonts and characters.
Since doing shrooms last year, I have emersed my self in my art

Graffiti is my therapy it’s the only thing what makes me happy.
And myself express
Well said youfo...and also merry Christmas
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
@@youfosignhere you too brother 👍
Every time I walk out the house I always grab 2-3 markers and have them in my pocket at times and every Time I walk ou the house.
Gotta love some good Thai restaurants. Great vid
thank you heaps brother
Just woke up and seen that u posted let’s go
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
@@youfosignhere u to bro
I really like the idea that it turns into a hobby with stickers, and even though my tag is a shitname, I believe it makes people afraid.
haha true man
The point will vary from person to person, and this has changed over time. In the 80s there was no way someone would think they could make a living from this. But some points have remained there from the very start. Its easy to feel like a failure, with goals and expectations of successfully financial people being held up as being "the right" ones. Graffiti can kinda be like flipping the middle finger to that idea and saying, "hey I AM A SUCCESS, just not in the way you deem success", your kinda saying I will choose and determine my own idea of success, to some it is creating a good panel that runs and getting flicks, others a good trackside piece, others getting payed all over the world to paint walls...
Thai restaurant. Awesome vid man 👏
thank you !!!
It's so funny bcz, i have a friend who does it illegally and he keeps saying " you should try it illegally 1 time " and honestly, graffiti is his lifestyle. For me it's some kind of hobby and therapy. I always loved it when i was little, but from what i see alot of people are literally addicted bc of the adrenaline and rush it gives. I do it once or twice every 2 months but looking at him he's almost at every part in Amsterdam which is cool, but people need to realize there are different writers and graffiti artists out there. I do it for fun, and alot of people do it for the rush and adrenaline. But at the end people need to realize we're all some kind of big family even if some of them do it illegally or legally.
The point of graffiti is to deface and defile things that aren’t your own. Every person that defaces things that aren’t their own or without the owner’s permission is doing it solely for destruction. It doesn’t matter why you deface things, people employ limitless excuses for everything, it only matters that you’re doing it. I don’t even care that you’re doing it, I just want you to understand - despite all the excuses, in the end you’re just unethical immoral people defiling and destroying other peoples thing because you want to, nothing more. The lowest grade of ‘self expression’ is breaking other peoples things and calling it self expression, it’s the mentality of 2 year olds and common criminals, two groups not known for their depth of thought and believe everything is theirs because they can’t acknowledge other people exist that aren’t there to serve them; acceptable behavior from 2 years olds barely capable of spoken language, but anyone older than about 5, they’re just a degenerate.
fair
unethical because i tag on giant businesses that are too loosely taxed?
This is such an interesting video, I discovered you whilst eating in a thai restaurant and haven't looked away.
so glad to hear that man thank you for watching
Holy actuall word I cant say here, this vid is a uear old and it took less than a day for you to respond, thats wild. @@youfosignhere
You know what, i work in a bakery and my boss accuarly likes it when the alley next to the building gets hit. He gave me premistion to make a piece
oh wow! nice!!
Thai Restaurant? Ok that's a bit confusing. But again a very informative video which I really appreciate
very random indeed ;)
Graffiti may be incredibly ugly and unsightly, but this video is certainly an interesting take on the problem. I now see it in a new light.
thank you heaps for watching
amazing vid! Tai restraint!!!
thank you so much!
mans the reason i started fr
oh mannnn so good to hear
I'm not going to go in to detail right now but Personally I'm addicted to it my graffiti isn't just vandalism anymore it's art. it's hard to quit when you grew up doing it and studied it. there are a lot of reasons I do it I want respect recognition etc. Let's just say it's a hobby of mine😂
yeah man
Thai restaurant also Nice insight on Graff made me want to go out but it's -20 here
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
@@youfosignhere you as well friend
One stand out artist that comes to mind is Neckface. This dude does legal graffiti and non graffiti related art while not being anonymous and continuing to do illegal graffiti. If you become big enough you can bomb in broad daylight, livestreaming on instagram and dont even need to cover your face😅
longer vid, nice
glad you enjoy !! do you watch till the end tho? ;)
Hey youfo i love your videos, i have some ideas for videos:
1. graffiti tags types
2. Best paint to paint graffiti with
3. Reacting to my old tags/stickers
4. Idk
Happy xmas :D
man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!
@@youfosignhere same to you
True graffiti is art
indeeed!
It's such a pretentious way to look at it. Tagging is graffiti. The first graffiti writer did nothing but tag. Stop gatekeeping graff culture.
Yo do you plan on visiting Europe in the near future? Maybe berlin in particular? Would love to see some of your stuff out in the streets. Maybe even near a Thai restaurant haha. Cheers mate 🤙
maybe man!
and man thank you heaps! hope you have a great xmas and new year!

What’s the old documentary you mentioned at 1:30? Interested to see.
m.ruclips.net/video/xvs7hC4Qots/видео.html
Right on , I hate when people do it on small businesses but big money making businesses they can pay for it lmao ,
straight uppp!!!
As a shop owner in a small town, I absolutely hate people who do graffiti because they vandalize my shop almost every week. It is very expensive to remove and I need to because it is ugly and profane and I’m struggling financially.
as you said prior yes
i get why you would and you have every right to be mad at the people who vandalize your shop but try to keep an open mind and not disparage all who do graffiti. not all of us write on private property
This is calling my name
there ya go!!
