You know a writer is top tier when you have to slow down the video just to check out all his stuff.

[@tylerdaly5682]

Makes sense why he's up so much. Dude replaced his drug addiction with graffiti addiction.

[@2bitnpc]

In the words of crimpshrine ‘everyone’s addicted to something, tv, drugs, medicine , love, hate, or attention,’

ok but how does he fund it? I was able to do it for a year before funds depleted and I had to get back to work. Unless hes homeless or some shit

Love his straight letters, they’re perfect almost like they’re printed

[@Ziux158]

Yeah, i really like just black and white. Only the style, no distraction by colors

[@eugenehuff6882]

Mad respect for Vayne, he’s been killing the graffiti scene in ATL. He’s the GOAT

[@pickledonionenjoyer]

King. Full of words of wisdom and insight into a healthy relationship with the most unpredictable culture.

[@patswayze7359]

He's on his way

[@extraaxtive7113]

Vayne is a real atl goat I been seeing his work around the city since I was about 11 I’m 25 now he’s all over Georgia

[@Islandstonr]

Who else

[@AndyKPOV]

Vayne is a dope ass human. And I had the pleasure to roll one and chill with him. I was chillin with clepto, letgo, ratlab, katsu, and queball. (I'm from Washington) We went out writing (at the time I was definitely a toy but I hung with queball and clepto) but we were walking down the street and homie was hitting everything. Doing straights in the time I was doing throw up. I ran out of paint on my last letter, I was pissed. No one else has the brown I was using. Vayne came up and finished in a green for me did some accents and showed me a few things. Definitely helped me out a lot. This was 2011 before he was as big. Now looking back wish I had more skill 😅

[@AndyKPOV]

Also a lot of real writers are hella cool people. Just don't cross their work and you'll have a good bud. I've been writing multiple times and came across other writers and became buds. It's the sketchiest and funniest moment, you connect eyes and it's fight or flight at first. Like is it a cop? Is it a homie? Lol

[@extraaxtive7113]

@@AndyKPOV cool you got to actually kick it/ meet with vayne you still write?

[@miscadooRodriguez]

I grew up in NYC, long story but I've been writing since I was 10 yrs old. Joined the Army after 9/11 spent 13 yrs in.. did the the Iraq , Afghanistan thing a few times.. had a rough time readjusting to life after. I got on painkillers from wounds i sustained on my last deployment overseas and at 45 yrs old picked up the pen again. Just Like riding a bike. Kicked the drugs..our stories have some similarities so I understand your situation more than u know.. good shit man !

[@Jesusdamannotgod]

Fun fact... Cope 2 followed me 2 weeks on twitter....no idead why bro no idea why......I tried trolling him as a joke and he liked my comment and followed 2 weeks....I cam only say he may have thought I was his republican friend joking if he has one

[@drizzydew]

God bless homie! Grab some cans and fuck around. Practice if you got a backyard. Train yards are chill af. Nobody on the yard would question a vet you get a pass

[@benjaman21rottens]

VAYNE, I've met you at a record store in Chile, thanks for supporting my band!

[@Jimbo-hl2bc]

Vayne is probably one of my biggest graffiti inspirations

[@keaganweaver7348]

[@Stevbob]

being raised in atlanta you see vayne around everywhere and inspired me to start doing graff and film real legend

[@Tuodleo20096]

Went to Atlanta for my first time last year and everywhere I went I seen Vayne and the REM’s everywhere. Dudes a killer.

[@autopilot7150]

Him and savie are smashers.

[@rust-0hspray156]

Yeah but his shits's more fresh than and flows better then savie

[@MattyCCollings]

Big ups to vayne. Huge inspiration

[@chekz3520]

Dude has been kinging shit for a minute! I smoke weed, but I also don't do any other drugs or alcohol bc I'm an addict. Painting really does help me, I'm glad to hear someone else speak on that. So few of the writers I know or go out with are on the same page and that can be annoying lol.

[@zoutewand]

I'd been smoking since 14 and stopped half a year ago at 25. I realised when I was 15 or 16 that I would be addicted to whatever I put into my body, so I didn't do anything harder than that. Had been wanting to quit since 16 or something, but I always said to myself 'nah man, I'll do it next week. I'm just gonna enjoy it till then'. Before I knew it, 9 years had passed me by. Only thing that helped me was facing the fact that today is yesterday's tomorrow and I shouldn't be putting off anything I want to do. Since then, my dedication to graffiti has also increased so much and progress has been way easier. I don't even count the days, it's now just a fact of life I don't smoke anymore. Ya I don't want to tell you what to do, but ay man. I believe in you. You can kick the shit.

[@zoutewand]

🫶

[@chekz3520]

@zoutewand dude, I'm proud of you for quitting weed. I also have a homie who just quit bc he's been stoned for like 10 years straight. I was always on probation and locked up and shit though so I always had breaks. I don't even smoke like that now tho lol. Im don't smoke everyday, I don't smoke during the day only at night after I'm done handling responsibilities, I try to enjoy it like a lot of folks have a beer or 2 after work. Yesterday I smoked a half a joint with the homie while we were painting, and it was the most weed I've smoked in one session in a long time. I was too high and I kept making mistakes shit pissed me off. I'm a lightweight 😅 Thanks for the positivity though for real! I genuinely appreciate it. We all have to look out for each other as fellow human beings, and I get more of that within the graff community than I do anywhere else besides my family and really my brother is a writer too. We're about to screen print stickers right now 💪.

[@drizzydew]

Seen him all over ATL. I live in the PNW and seen him over here too. That’s like an Easter egg nobody can top straight up

[@prestonpowers7376]
