I hear ya... that PHADE character looks like he's jumping in cannonball style to make a big splash over at S2G. I still post there as I hope it will return somewhat to what I got used to a couple of years ago when I signed on.
Did you see this thread he started?

Based on his initial posts and what he is into, the guy seems like a total punk and I was not going to bother. But, I just posted a reply with a link to some of the photography-based flyers I've done that take a totally different approach to "graphix" just to hear what he has to say... It will be interesting to see if he is open minded, or completely dismisses it becaue its not in a similar style as his work...
He's obviously a grafitti fan..., probably a tagger himself... And while I appreciate good art (which some grafitti is) I don't agree with breaking the law and "forcing" your art onto the public in that manner. It seems to me that energy should be put to more constructive and personally productive use in a manner that either develops you as a person or puts money in your pocket, ideally both...
On related, but separate note... The last time I was on a train ride in Germany, I was shocked how much grafitti I saw along the rails going in and out of the larger cities.
