Going through a OLD SCHOOL GRAFFITI SKETCHBOOK

Описание: Flipping through history—one page at a time. 📖🔥 This writer just found their father’s old blackbook, a true time capsule of old-school graffiti. Before social media, before high-res flicks, blackbooks were where styles were born, traded, and perfected.

Back in the day, every serious writer carried one. It was a place to sketch out new letters, plan pieces, and collect tags from other artists. Some pages were rough—quick throwie ideas or marker scribbles—while others were full-blown masterpieces, layered with markers, paint, and ink. Having a well-filled blackbook wasn’t just about practice; it was a sign of dedication to the craft.

Graffiti in the ‘80s and ‘90s was raw. No YouTube tutorials, no online font generators—just trial, error, and learning from the streets. Styles evolved through blackbooks, as writers swapped sketches and inspired each other. If you got a tag or piece from a legend in your book, it was like gold. These books captured a moment in time, preserving the evolution of graffiti culture before everything went digital.

Finding an old blackbook is like opening a window into the past. You can see how styles have changed, how certain techniques developed, and even recognize names that are now legends. It’s a reminder that graffiti is more than just paint on walls—it’s history, culture, and a never-ending evolution.

Much respect to those who documented their journey. If you’ve got a blackbook, fill it up. You never know who might flip through it years from now. ✍️🔥
