Ok, yeah, I saw their skull... Really fucking good.. But boys come on. You didn't invent this shit.. A skull pharaoh as been produced over and over again.. But yeah i used theirs as inspiration..
As for the font wall, come on people.... Don't claim that shit.. This whole thing is coming from Espo's project in Phily. Thats what inspired me for these walls i'm painting..
I rate Docs highly but when people go on like they invented the wheel, come on.....
I think a motto of theirs is ....
Bad Artists Copy, Good Artists Steal.. I suppose im in the middle..

Keep The Faith Magazine.

2010-02-02T01:10:00.001-08:00

We are proud to announce the launch of a brand new graffiti magazine from London, on sale from March 2010 - pre-order the mag now through our webpage: www.keepthefaithmagazine.com.

Keep The Faith is a brand new magazine documenting the hardcore side of London's graffiti scene, a scene shrouded in secrecy, but one which is still very active. We have acquired over 100 trains from some of the most active crews and writers in London during the past 5 years, showing that there is still a thriving undercurrent in our beloved city.

London is one of the toughest cities in Europe for painting right now, with the authorities trying every method possible to shut graffiti down, there is an atmosphere of fear and paranoia that has led to many writers working in secrecy, refusing to release their photos and closing down most channels of communication.

For so many of the capital's crews to contribute to one magazine project during the current climate is very rare, which is why this magazine is so special.

Please find some examples of the pages within the magazine attached.

Information:
Size: A4 Pages: 56 full colour (inc. front and back cover)
Language: English
Cover price: £6 (British sterling)

For more information please contact us on: ktfmagazine@gmail.com

Thanks for your time,
Keep The Faith team, 2010

It was dope.. 95mins of Films about London Transport, all the way from the 1900's. They had some nuts ideas back then, big cars with gas in a ballon on top and mad air ships. My favorite film was about the cleaners "Fluffers" of the London Underground. This film was made in the 20's and had a funny dude doing a talk over.. All in all, a great night.. I love this city.. !!!

4 notorious graffiti artists painting live the new Thalys Paris - Cologne.
SEAK (Cologne), Jonone (Paris), Sozyone (Brussels), and Zedz (Amsterdam) painted four cars of the European king train today at “Gare du Nord” in Paris. They had 3 hours and 15 minutes to finish the painting, that’s the new time the new Thalys needs from Paris to Cologne.

On the video, the Thalys leaves the brussels station the 15th of September

Went for bike ride yesterday with my son and came across this bridge with loads of engraving on it. People have been scratching there name into this bridge for a couple hundred years, the earliest I found was 1906, then 1931... I love this stuff. There was also a Chapman scratch witch is my girlfriends surname, maybe a relative?
