I've been painting since a teenager, and I've been doing it for 20 years now. Find me at Paes164.com (p-a-e-s-164.com) My Facebook is facebook.com/paes_art.

Some graffiti artists like myself, I'm older now and have children, so I'm not going to paint on schools and churches and I'm not gonna... If I was going to do something like that, I'm not going to go pick on maybe a single business owner that can't afford to go clean up the mess I make but just about anything city or state or anything else, you know, that's pretty much free reign. Tagging is just writing your name. You know, a lot of graffiti, not only with a name that explains who that person is, it's a style too, you know.

When people say "tagging," it's definitely just tagging, writing your name, and then when they say "bombing," that goes back to blockbusters and throw-ups and stuff on a bigger scale.
