[#12] About Me : Part2 (About Graffiti)

In graffiti crew, we drew pictures on the wall with spray-can. Each of our canvas was so big, and it was like three meters by nine meters! Everyday we carried sketchbooks on us and worked on our plan. Each one of us had his own autograph, and practiced to write it with spray-can quickly and also beautifully. We could draw anything we wanted in any size. That was truly amazing and happy moment!

I had very good relationship with my parents. Don't worry!

But wait, graffiti is considered vandalism and crime! Was it legal? Don’t worry. We drew pictures on the sheets of plywood and put them on the wall of our school within the period of school festivals. How healthy and sensible we were!

One of my works. Like Harlem, isn't it?

However, our secret base was not so healthy. Our room was in the ground level of our school, and inside of our room there were thousands of colorful drawings written by our great predecessors on every single wall, and even on the ceiling and floor. It was just like Harlem in Manhattan! There were many pieces of furniture formerly abandoned in garbage dumps, and awful smell of mixture of paint thinner and molds filled the air. The atmosphere was terrible, but I loved that place. Still now, smell of thinner reminds me of my great memories of high school days.
