I'm on foot in this small town doing this and that, started doing stickers, put a tag here or there (wish i didn't cause it's soooo sloppy under pressure)..

My first question..

The town's small, and I'm not accustomed to this at all. As I said before I'm on foot..when i put a sticker up it's no big deal for me, slap n' go...

But when I put a tag with paintmarker, it just breaks my calm and makes me pariniod...

I can put up stickers, I can put up instilations ,but when it comes to me and paint...I freeze up..and my calm breaks..and thus, the ultimate ******** .. (will i ever get over this???)

Second question...

I know everywhere in that town, which way to go Ect; Ect'...(Is it better to keep it on foot??.. Or should I just get a vehicle? *i'm almost in possesion of a van*)

I think it's harder to bust out a quick tag if you're driving around. Although a van could possibly give you a lot of cover if you did it right. But overall I would keep it on foot.

I had the same problem whenever I tried tagging. My handstyle went to who knows where, and my tag just looked disgusting. Maybe more practice will cure that. But in the end I decided to stay with stickers and do something I'm pleased with in my own time, and then sticking it up.

If the area isn't hostile, then on foot is definitely good (IE gangs and police) It's good to blend with the crowd. If you want to expand your spots, a van is GREAT. I've gotten up pretty far in my old car. So you have the paint jitters? LOL
You should have a mind set of ******** IT, I'M (insert name here) AND I'M GONNA ******** s**t UP! (it's good to have a big ego when getting up with paint) LOL no lie, it relieves the jitters and keeps you focused with your style. IDK if that works for everyone, but that's how I did it... lol

I'm the same way. Just stick to areas you're comfortable with first, low risk places to catch tags -- Alleyways, etc.
The best advice to get rid of nervousness is to jjust go with other people. When you're with others, you don't even think about it.

I'm just going to guess that you're a school boy... taking art classes? What school you from? I've been bouncing around from Manila to Olongapo, to Zambales.... STILL CAN'T GET ANY DAMN CONTACTS HERE! stressed
If you're riding the Victory Liner, sit in the back and you'll see my slaps... LOL cool
