@SickWithItVids Haha are you thirteen or just complexed? I hate this about most graffiti fellas - "I'm a graffiti ARTIST but other art than mine is shit". Ask someone to open the box for you.

@SickWithItVids you do reaize she carves those pictures out of woodblocks (takes days) and then block prints them onto bonding paper and pastes 'em up. It's much harder to do than a tag or a piece.

Take her out at her own game? That made me chuckle. Her work has been all over the world in many different galleries. Where have we seen your work?

@SickWithItVids hahah.. sure it is not Graffiti, its a lot better.. maybe its a lot easier to put some Poster on the wall, but her Art is not easy.

[gawdiam]

@SickWithItVids ...you just want someone to talk to

[TheSewerChewer]

[SickWithItVids]

My homies I bet I'll do better at what she does that's just some easy ass shit on the real .. That's just going around puttin a paper on the wall .. I'll take her out in her own game ..T.K.O.

@SickWithItVids you're in a box pal

@SickWithItVids Lets see you produce the quality work that swoon does. Just because she uses paper and paste does not make it "easy".
