Social media?
Social media has its pros and cons in terms of Graffiti. Influences are available, video tutorials are accessible, but in the contrary writers just make a piece and then they fish for likes and comments online, not like back in the days when you hit up walls and it is up for society to see.
Special about your Graffiti-scene?
I can say Graffiti in Manila isย still is its early years, but yet very thankful to other writers and artists that keep the scene alive. There are cities that are very strict when it comes to Graffiti, some are just chill, laid back. But the hard thing to deal in each city are the โbarangaysโ (Barrios or hood).
Street art and big scale muralismo?
Big scale walls… not yet here in PH. Sponsorships and walls for large scale murals are hard to find here.S treet art, design and graphics add up more elements to spice up the trad writing styles, new styles emerge from the fusion from different disciplines. Fusions of different disciplines will incorporate as well as technology. Hopefully the scene will bloom in a way that every writer new and old ones will benefit from
