sorry i've been away for quite a time, glad to be back. i was wondering if anybody could tell me if the ss handle calypso jr has a flat grind or a hollow. i tought i was flat but an online store had it listed as hollow. where do you think the best place is to get one?

I used to do graffiti as installation art, but not “tagging”. The big difference is that tagging is usually your name; symbol or group afflation while my work was more “art” for “art”. If the work was complex I would do it in three steps: 1 lay out, 2 fill in, 3 out line so the “graffiti” just appea...
