i think you are right. and those photos are just great. you know i think they would sell like hot cakes if you were to have them made into postcards, they are really tops

Wow, it really does look flat. It def appears that the graf is the culprit.

this is pretty dope I have to say.
would love to see this on postcards.

graf has a way of making everything else look like negative space. i like how all the photos run into each other, like a big collage.

thanks to you all. I've never been offered the chance to buy a hotcake...or I don't think so. Is it pancake? A postcard is an intriguing idea....not hard, probably, making them at least...prhaps a citynoise collection.

if you were offered the chance to buy a hot cake, i bet you would just snap it up, like the chance to buy really good postcards... i think it is probably cheapest to get them printed by an online supplier, and they tend to be printed in 4s i believe, so again another money saver. a cn collection would be good, but so would just being able to buy these around ny and be able to send them instead of the usual suspects.

help! What's oldschool? vs. Oldskool? Assume the spelling means a different thing. That Soak at the end looked pretty classic, like from the 70s, the subway-painting days...the arrow at the end...

Peter: 12th Oct 2005 - 18:52 GMT

i think it means the same thing, just different ways of spelling it.

when i think oldskool, i think of stuff like this- with less focus on letter forms and more focus on bright colors and energy:

thats just my own bent, though. everyone has their own take on things, as whats "oldskool" changes year by year, i guess... i think it all goes back to personal points... for me, oldskool is anything that looks older than the stuff i first noticced when i was just getting into graf in the late 80s.

it's at the point of being a folk art collage, or assemblage, like a patchwork quilt from appalachia, or jazz, or some other similar thing - that's totally american...

it is isn't it? i agree completely (this is also why i think they would sell as poscards - they have much mojo)

Alot of selectivity in the way you stacked, cropped, and color arranged these shots. Old? New? I like the way you saw this graffiti and presented it to us. Old or new, it changes in the light and is part of our urban experience.

does anyone remeber the weird silhouette sprawled on the walls of manhatten in the early 80s?
usually the top of the head had a flaired splash of paint to symbolize the hair ,almost looks as if the head exploded.
i never see them anymore and was curious to see if anyone knows what i am talking about.
where can i see a photo of this graffiti that was all over the city in the early 80s?
please email me pjoust@aol.com
