Seen was my first inspiration. Everything he did gave me the courage to try something out of my comfort zone... overall developing my style to levels that I couldn't even dream of when I started painting. And RIP Dondi.

Depends on the country/ state you live, but freights in some areas are treated as old 80's styled trains. Relaxed yard with a small presence, plenty of time, lots of amazing full productions along with the people who walk the yard and bomb, little to no buff (usually buffed if you cover carriage ID), some places freight goes through cities, towns and over state. You could be west side and have panels rock up in the yard from 2,000-4,000km from north or east covered in a whole different state/ countries graffiti. A whole different vibe to street painting as people will rock up with beer, ladders and a speaker (still have the beer on a street paint though). EDIT: To clarify, country/ outer city freight yards. Inner city and ports are packed with seccies and workers 24/7
its cool to hear him say "i dont know what im going to do when they put up the fences and cant come to the yard anymore" cause he ended up doin the right thing
9/11 changed ALL THAT. Not just NYC. We had the Freight line in my city (staying anonymous LOL) that Began on the North side and ran up into the Northeast end and then crosses the next state line. That freight line used to be walked by us freely in the 90s going to HS.. it was bombed. Not hard tho. Then around 97 til 2000 it was CRUSHED. Well post 9/11 will get you a night in a cell walking that line and getting caught. It's fucked. We used to love that line. You could take it where it spurred off and it would go right into the center city/ downtown area where A TON of old shit is still living. Tags from 88.. Throws (just outlines) living from 93 etc.
@@bigdaddy2343 That's wild. Aus got affected too, Perth Transit are known as some of the hardest trains to paint in the yard because of the seccies, motion cams, mics, lights everywhere, motion detectors, these weird things that can smell paint or ink used in graffiti and send out an alarm+ we can get a $24,000 fine+ up top $6000 for graffiti supplies and prison up to 2 years (more if they charge you for break and enter). Yet our freight is super chill. Rock up with beer, ladders and a speaker kind of chill. Not Inner city or ports. But outer city and country is a ghost town as they do shifts and there's little to no presence at nights/ the weekend. Also can walk up and down the freight lines, not meant to but no-one says get off, they don't buff graffiti because they reckon it's a waste of time because it'll just come back and they'll have to pay more. Keep a lot of the art work on the freights as long as you cover up and don't paint over carriage ID's so they're still be identifiable in the yards. EDIT: To add onto how chill, I mean walk off the road, over a patch off dirt, maybe walk around a tree or bush if you're lucky Nd there's some shade, Nd bam you're there.
Im 48yrs old did graffiti back in the day here in Australia, im married with two kid's evey so often when me and my wife take the dog for a walk ,i always take a small can with me fits in my pocket perfect and tag while walking. My wife takes off when i tag she says your going to get busted but she always looks out for me yells out someone coming
"We'd like to film a segment on graffiti in your train yard...?" Transit Authority: "Get lost!!" "It'll feature Seen of United Artists " Transit Authority: "We're available today"
@STONEDBOMBER its the conductor of the train...you can see hes inside the conductors booth in the front car...looking out wondering what the fuck they are interviewing this guy for..lol
he was born earlier then all of us thats all. hes good but if it wasnt him itd be the next person. the hollywood sign didnt have sensors and all that shit before. hes not the only one who bombed it he was alive at a time it was possible
Back in these days graffiti was magic and underground and from the streets there where it belonges. Now a days its all mainstream with a lot o' artskool dudes who called themselfs graffitiartists or writers. Ao Seen was one of the founding fathers of al the shit ya see these days on public trafic and (legal)walls... So shut tha fuck up aigth!

Remember walking down Westchester Ave and seeing the dondi tumbler top to bottom in The Bronx sunlight on the 5 train. Truly art inspiring inspiring
I just love how Seen says Winduhs.

@@sirreoser5668yeah being from Los Angeles I’ve seen people up that know across the country.
Seen looks like a typical NYC cop from that time.
He looks like a typical guy from NYC
I can listen to SEEN all day
Style Wars.. where it for a few of us all started.. ah well.. for me that is ;)
For me 2 brother, i was like 13 or 14 years old when i watched it for the first time :D
No words wisdom from the king himself respect from one writer to another
Me too, Seen is an icon...took things to another level.
its cool to hear him say "i dont know what im going to do when they put up the fences and cant come to the yard anymore" cause he ended up doin the right thing
He got a tattoo shop on Tremont....
just walking around the yard like its nothing.... so funny.. You try that today and they would bang on you sooo fast you wouldnt know what hit you...

this may seem odd but do you have any pics of things you saw or did back in the day. i really like seeing old aus graff, especially tags and throws.
To be fair, she’s right that you *are* going to get busted because now WE KNOW YOUR NAME, _pit man_
