    If you've ever tried to paint a car in a 4 foot gap, when the letters are like a wall in themselves, you start to appreciate the feel for perspective that DONDI had. You can't teach that shit.

      If it helps, these pictures are from a book called Subway Art by Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper, published by Thames and Hudson. If at all possible get the 25-year anniversary edition which is much more comprehensive than the 1982(or is it '84?) edition, and it's more of a lavish coffee table-style volume. I don't think it's crazy expensive either as long as it's still in print. While the pieces in this book are not the most elaborate you'll ever see, it's indispensable in so much as it captures an art form and a culture during it's early years, literally as it was still evolving. I know it's not exactly what you were looking for but I hope you find this helpful.

      @MrTwister70 Рік тому +1

      Supposedly he was based on SAMO. That was Jean-Michel Basquiat. He really wasn't a graffiti writer, but had his SAMO quotes. Got this from a Beat Street info video.

      @@marc1883 your right. I was listening to rap as a kid. Young 8/9 years old. In inner city Manchester. New York sends it's styles from East Coast USA to the World, always has!!! Manchester does this too but changes the fabric if society back in the Manchester area. The way the Woekd lives. A lot of Worlds major first happened here and still do. Unusual especially when it's small city only 3/ 4 million peaple. Manchester is the first modern industrial city and where the industrial revolution started. All East coast and the World's industrial cities and, way of business, lifestyle comes from this Town of mine. We have a pretty lively scene on things creative and cultured, but Not like NYC.Still I was into hip hop at 8 years old back in 80. Sugar hill gang, grandmasters, kool herc.By about 83 there was a decent hip hop scene. Top breaking crews. All areas had them. And I mean 55 consecutive buffalo heads spins, windmills reversed; bouncing, jump in, jump out, flares.Girls doing windmills! As good as any it other crews.. Graffiti, beatbox, djs, rap, Yeh man , thanks to the Big Apple for our hip hop childhood, gangster, teens n twenties, and I don't know what the fuck is going in nowadays. Need an Injection of that grimy NYC flavour. !! Right G sorry for the school lesson! HaHa smoking some strong oil my pals made up, so I'm wrecked, surrounded by cakes and writing pure shit! !Anyway take care.b-boy. Haha

    😆 i just remembered a crazy story (that was a DIS to me in actuality)... when i first met a dude from L.E.S in 85 and showed him my attempt at doing graffiti....... HE SNEEZED RIGHT ON MY🎨🖍 ART, and tried handing it back to me .... i didn't take it so he just let go and it floated away in the wind down 41st and 8th, it probably landed on a dead 🐀🪤 rat or a hookers busted hills 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Technically he wasn't bullshitting. When he started, everyone was doing simple tags, so if you walked around a full yard and left 1 tag on each car, it would eventually add up.
