Trains Trains and more Trains

Been a bit busy with some unforeseen issues, but I felt like I need to get back to posting before I loose my audience....Todays post is going to be all about trains... the most historical place to get up outside of finding that sweet spot.

Hit me up if you know the artist...will be appreciated. These works are great and makes me a bit heated that I've never had the opportunity to get up on a train.

And on a side note...unless your extremely ambitious, as of late it's been a little difficult to get up on trains in some areas, so some very wise people developed alternatives to satisfy your itch...

some examples.

Custom jobs done by some legit artist or some legit hobbyist. I've included a few links where you can get your hands on some DIY kits and start tagging up your own trains for display....

This first link is to get your hands on some blank functioning toy model trains... picture it a train track round your room with your tagged up trains rolling by...click here.

The second link is to www.artoyz.com they have up one sided vinyl toy train models. They too are DIY and one flat side means you can mount it on a wall. Or you can probably by two glue the suckers together and have a standing model to place somewhere, probably amongst your other vinyl collectibles... click here

The third link is to www.allcitystyle.com, their vinyl trains aren't that different from that offered by artoyz but definitely have a bit more detail, you also have to buy in bulk but that can be a good thing... 

The last link is for a paper model of the allcitystyle train...you can print it out, customize it and construct it for free or for practice before you get the real thing...  Download PDF

Hello there...

Been a bit side tracked...so in my absence here's a time lapse video of Kase.

The BLACKBOOK

Where every writer gets their start...

The Blackbook. The Graffiti artist's sketchbook where you spend some time working out your next dope piece. Where you get other artist to represent on a few pages...the thing you hide from the cops because it can link you to that dope piece you put up in that sweet spot a few weeks back...The BlackBook.

Now to share some random blackbook pieces I found that I hope to see up one day.

Great video...feeling the head mounted camera angles.

Boro Wall

Video of Ether TFO painting a wall for the Boro clothing line releasing this November.



I came across this video via bombingscience, watched it and I really appreciate the way the time-lapse reveals the breakdown of Ether's work. For more info on the clothing check out the following Brand Boro.

And now to reveal some of my stuff...

I've been meaning to get around to this for some time now... Check out some of my old stuff. New work to come shortly.

Most of these are either on canvas or from my black book. There's a lot more than what I've posted here these are just my favorites out of what I can find... That last photo is an example of how horrible my tags are...eventually I get around to improving it.

Making your work Mobile

Driving around with a friend I spotted this:

And it got me thinking...Man putting  your shit up on the side of a vehicle has to be the best way to get your work seen by many. Grant it, I myself have never been in a position to bomb, tag or put a piece on a truck, but given the opportunity... I'm for it.

So with a few minutes to spare in my "busy" schedule I hunted down some amazing pics of graffiti on trucks.

Giant

Reyes

And lets not forget the truck in my banner, I see "Meen Sumo" driving all the time around my old neighborhood...so I took that shot. Anyways, I also stumbled across a vinyl toy site that makes 8" and smaller replicas of trucks that you can customize or buy pre-tagged by note-worthy graffiti heads.

The cost isn't so bad and the larger models have working cargo holds so you can use it to stash shit it.

Enjoy the pics, hit up the comments if you know the artist.

The sheer greatness of the handstyle

The whole concept of handstyles has always been a bit intimidating to me. I mean developing a handstyle on your own takes a lot of patience and practice. Attempting to make your style look sick and simply your own borders on redonkulous, and no matter how hard I tried I never was quite happy with what I came up with. So like many before me I just adapted the style of my predecessors in an attempt to keep their hand going.

So I give much credit to those who adapted an entire alphabet in their own style breaking away from just doing their tag.

Some of my favorite sources of inspiration. Some of these also are elaborate handstyles but still have the ability to be done as a tag.
