Yes, if you work for B&Q. Punk DIY is about not having to rely on the 'system' to provide you with goods. That's a political statement, I would think.

What's B&Q?

I never said DIY wasn't a political statement. I'm saying that this thread is not about political statements. If you want to post about stuff related to political activism then there's probably an appropriate thread somewhere.

So what's this thread about if not to help each other by sharing our DIY knowledge? Which you just admitted was (in this context) a political statement. B&Q are a British DIY chainstore, they sell saws, nails, wallpaper etc..

Sharing DIY knowledge would be like sharing tips on how to make patches or t-shirts and whatnot. I don't see how stealing in order to make a political statement has to do with how to make your own goods.

But whatever, arguing about this is defeating the purpose of eliminating spam.

Fair enough. I submit.

This thread's main purpose was orginally for asking questions related to anything do it yourself, including but not limited to fashion, hairstyling, vandalism, and every day life stuff.

Now hairstyling has been eliminated, the others still are discussed. The main feature is still fashion and clothes, but questions about vandalism, stealing, and living your life the free way (freeganism has been brought up a couple of times) is not discourged nor off topic.

Yaaay, I win. As the name implies, freeganism is mooching?

[quote=coheneran]Yaaay, I win. As the name implies, freeganism is mooching?[/quote]

Pretty much. It's name is based off of veganism, because its a way of fighting the meat industry while still eating meat, because you arent supporting it with your dollars etc. But it goes beyond that. Google it.

speaking of vandalism, me and my friend were thinking of going on another political tagging run. any stories/tips on that?

Wow I googled it. It's pretty awesome.

Don't get caught

ARGH! Be like a spy! Constantly check for people and CCTV. ESPECIALLY CCTV. It's so easy to be caught out.

last time i was caught, i sprayed "free the congo from shell's grasp" on the shell near me. yeah lame, I know

carry a piece of blank cardboard on you (2feet by 2feet or so) and if a pig stops you and starts asking questions, say you're going on a mini-demonstration and it's going to be a placard.

Since we're on the topic of graffiti does anyone here actually do graffiti art/street art? I really want to become a street artist. I've been making designs but putting them on the streets isn't really going to be doable while I'm still living with my parents.

don't show anyone your designs. i have plenty of friends who are streetartists (a few of them are awesome hip-hop artists as well) anway, keep them between you and a close friend or two. Then, go around at night 11 or so wearing black hoodies and no other distinguishable characteristics (a mohawk showing or coloured hair for example). Wrapping a bandana around your mouth is also a good idea. It keeps the fumes from hurting you and makes you harder to be recognized. When its all done, ditch the cans by blowing them up or bring them back but if the fuzz has reason to believe its you and get your parents to agree to a search and they find the cans, your through.

And wear latex gloves.

[QUOTE=Anarcho Poser]And wear latex gloves.[/QUOTE]

And if you see a CCTV cam low enough to spray into and it's not facing your way, spray into it!

Yeah I've only shown a couple of people my designs who I trust know how important it is that no one else knows about them. The one thing is that I would do stencils and the designs I want to do are life size so my parents would know that they're not for a t shirt. Though I suppose I can make them in secret and hide them until they're used. After spraying them I'd probably destroy them. Ideally I'd want to do them in the middle of the night and sneaking out of my house isn't really an option because my mom works at night and often stays up til 5. I think it will be easier when I can drive, it'll probably lessen my chance of being caught by cops and will better enable be to work outside my immediate community. Don't crap where you eat, y'know.

I'll probably end up waiting until I go to college to do a lot of work. Less complications to worry about.

Also a bandana protects from particles but not fumes/vapor. You need a respirator for that.

Bandana/scarve soaked with white spirit vinegar. learned that little trick in palestine when the IDF got up on the wrong side of the bed.

Me: I do DIY clothing stuff
Friend: DIY... doesn't that have something to do with drunk driving
Me: no, that's DUI or DWI.
Friend: are you sure? I guess that makes sense. What about like... driving under yak?
Me: um... that wouldn't make any sense. That's DUY. Driving intoxicated yak, perhaps?
Friend: now that's hardcore.

Ah, My friends...


Anyway, a little while back people were talking about DIY being a political statement. Sure, I guess I agree, but I myself never really did it for a political reason. I just like spending my time making my own clothing.

RudeBoyStompin - I don't know if you want to wait until you can drive though, if they think your up to something and get your plate your done. Just stay at one of the friend's houses that knows your design and sneak out of their house instead.

Park a couple of miles away.

Ride a bike.

Ride a drunk yak!

Lol, that would be hilarious. I was on the train back from Hammersmith today and I saw two blonde, blue-eyed possibly twins (they were very alike, but then again, all Aryans look the same to me:p) and they looked about the right age to be those two Prussian Blue white supremos. I wish they were, because then I would have claimed to be a big fan, taken a picture of them with me using my mobile, then I would have proceeded to chat them up. Imagine their frustration when they learned they'd had an incestual threesome with a Jew! Mhuahahahahahahahaha. And I would have also made a tape, of course. Can't have a threesome with nazi 14 year old aryan twins without making a tape.

Heartograms are so damn lame. My friend tattoo'ed a heartogram onto his heel (needle and ink, what an idiot). He's such a Lamepants McPoserton. As you can see I have just finished reading every single QC strip. NEEEED MOOOOREEEEE.

That's pretty sweet. I've been looking for a hat kind of like that. One of those russian winter hats called a ushanka. I can't find any that aren't made of fur though.

And also I've completed my Eraserhead shirt.

Pretty cool, but there should be a comma after heaven.

I just wanna get a pair of lime green chukkas!
 

Sounds stupid to start a thread about shoes, but I'm going to. Punkers are into activism and such, and I want to buy a pair of shoes that aren't made in a sweatshop. I wear Vans shoes, which look cool and are comfortable, but I can't help but feel guilty. Any suggestions?




please don't flame the **** out of me for this thread...:rolleyes:
