Dubstep

This is traditional media, which I am glad to tell ya'. Only the black borders, lyrics and texture were added. But even without that it looked like it was digital work.

I drew this at Skatefest today. Skating. It's where metal and hip hop comes together, weirdly. It's hard to imagine when you've never been there. The skating culture is a very strange one. They might smoke weed, but they're not dumb people. They're intelligent people enjoying life, drugs and others. They don't look at what you're wearing at all. I've been there today, as a "hip hopper" myself, and I was amazed how many metalheads were there as well, enjoying dubstep, rap and hip hop as much as we did, even though they didn't like it. And I listened to a lot of metal as well, which I obviously don't like, and still it was fun. You'd think that the hip hop and metal cultures are opposites. You're right. But you can not have one without the other, and if you accept that, suddenly you have two different kind of cultures together. Best of all is, they blend in very well. You get one big group and everyone is nice to each other, even if you don't know each others names. I don't like smoking at all, and everyone simply accepts that, as much as I accept that they do like it.

There were four graffiti artists as well, who were AMAZING. I looked at them doing their work all day, and they even came up to me to look what I was drawing. One of them said 'You really have talent. Ya' gonna do something with it, later?' I said yes. 'Oh you're one who's going to make it later.' He stroked my ego there, just like the rest of all the people did when I drew THIS here. Another dude, who was english and I really wonder what he did in such a small town in such a small country, and he was walking towards those graffiti artists, about to say how awesome their work was, when suddenly he saw me. He stopped while saying 'holy shit!'. Then he walked towards me and asked: 'Did you make that yourself?!' I said yes. He went on cursing: 'That's holy fucking amazing man! Oh, sorry for my language.' Made me laugh, since he really was amazed. It was a nice man and that I made him curse like that really really stoked my ego. Haha. Let's say I had a nice day.
