I can't trace because that's really.. that's a no-no.
What I'm trying to tell you is that the approach to crating the visual is vastly different. One pass means you're practiced in every line and curve you employ - so much so that you can assemble the image fast, in permanent ink and with no mistakes.

Graffiti is not art as you know it. It's not even art in the western sense. It has more in common with those zen monks who spend years just mastering the ability to draw a perfect circle in one line, one pass, with indelible ink.

Graff artists do the same. They focus on technique to the point where they're drawing the same image literally thousands of times. Lord knows I've done a lot of that shit - you just keep drawing whatever it is over and over and over. For months. Eventually you can pull of the cleanest and truest version of your original concept, thanks to muscle memory and devotion. After ten-40 times attempting the same thing, you understand it on an almost cellular level. Which is important for a vandal.

Make no mistake, tho - we're not artists with educations or standardized techniques. We're people who force our vision on a world swamped with advertisements and galleries usually hate us. Part of the performance of this art is the transgression of law. Always will be. It's nigh impossible to hold ourselves to traditional aesthetic principles in shit like this. At least it is where I came up, because you want shit to pop and grab minds much more than you want it to be "correct".
Personally, I use visual maximism a lot with stuff because it's that graff history, always there.
