Oh, that kind of stenciling. I've been looking for some nice design stencils for Lixer all day.


-Does it have the radio function in iTunes to stream music from online stations, or not?

Yes!! I'm glad you're one of the few who see it this way. Everyone is quick to label it as vandalism but no one stops to appreciate the art and the culture behind it! Although I must admit there are some children who don't help the cause. They often graffiti areas i would consider off limits to myself and put up nothing but ugly tags (nothing wrong with tags, but there is a place for those, and it is not on peoples homes, cars, schools, or new buildings).

I used to do it, quit after awhile. I still do it on paper sometimes in school. I used Krylon in most cases but sometimes Montana when I had some extra cash. I used Boston fats and Boston thins. My tag used to be "Spare".

Nick, go to www.vandalsquad.com.

From there you can download their program that allows you to choose any sort of color and object that you're tagging, (train car, subway car, etc.) or if you don't want to download it you can do it online, but it won't be preserved like it would be offline as other people can tag over yours.
