I started painting graff about a year ago and here in Hastings the buff is a constant war but too have your pieces from sea walls in Napier and influences such as feugo popping in it has changed my thought patterns of not just getting up but doing larger cleaner work that may stay up and too bring more recognition and awareness too the graffiti art style and culture and hopefully change a few minds in this small town.
Thanks for stopping by. Always good to strike a balance and do both large scale murals that stay up and getting up. Each city is always going to be different but most importantly you just need to leave your mark whatever form that might take! The question I ask myself is always what do I want to leave behind in this world and for me its the graf!
As someone who like many younger writers looked through Disruptiv magazines, Artillery etc and saw the rise of TMD and Gbak and seeing your advances via social media and now watching this video was nothing short of a total privilege. Thank you so much Berst, I know every person who got the opportunity to paint with you from my home city of Duds said you were an absolute champion of a bloke who kept it very real. I'll never forget seeing one of your much earlier train hits way down the south in a yard, not sure of it was in service but, amazing to come full circle. Heart felt respect, stay crushing lad.
Thanks for the feedback brother I really appreciate it. Can't go wrong with the classic chrome and black aye but man I love color burners. Pushing even further I've just dropped some limited edition prints in a recent collaboration with 3D animator Bazic. This is what some digital graffiti looks like and there are 3 designs inspired by the pieces from this exact video. If you're interested in checking it out head to my web store. berst1.myshopify.com/

An inspiring video, as this kinda video could help a lot of writers out there. Those simple silvers and one color-fill pieces tell the significance of the basic letter structures you have there which really nice to look at. You developed them by implementing out-of-the-box elements to it while maintaining the same structure to it. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you man that is the exact intention to spread the knowledge and explain a little bit of context about my work. You can't go wrong with the basics of chrome and black. What videos would you like to see more of in the future?
maybe next real time web series, you collaborate with another writer. Documenting from ideas, brainstorming, sketching, selecting colors, executing..and how it challenges you to raise the bar.. etc etc. As 2 or more writers could bring different flavor and styles to a production.
for example, one of the stages in tahiti you competed in group. Or guys like Sobekcis, Osgemeos, Dabs Myla..etc they're always work in group and produce consistency along the way. Just my 5 cents. :D

Thanks bro, will do my best. The first five years are more horrible pieces and lots of biting. Particularly 2006 haha so we'll see how the response of this video comes along and I'll try drop the other one.
some absolutely mind blowing styles and burners, make one about your come up to this point, I love when old writers talk about their earliest days of bombing

Bobby Hung another NZ artist profile would be interesting, its like seeing how they work their style .. not only imagine by hearing their voice in real time web series video..

Honestly a big step ahead of other graff content on TH-cam, videos are easy to watch and show to a well informed view of style. I would love to see some Piece break down videos. maybe by picking 3-5 favourites from and year or style and compare/reflect on them and explain more about why the piece stands out.
Thank you brother really appreciate it. Doing my best to help grow the resources of graffiti and encourage others to do the same. Piece break down video is a great idea and definitely something I've had in my mind for a while so stay tuned. choosing a couple of different styles would be a great idea. thanks for the feedback!

gotta say 2009. im biased to that year sin e thats sorta when i first got into graff and first saw your work from that year but I also love those full colour pieces. 2010 has some of my favourite work of yours in it too, obviously cause of that astro!

2011/2012 and the Dogtown heaters are my personal favorites. I've seen photos of that era of yours and greatly gravitated towards those pieces. Thoroughly enjoyed you showing your divergent process of developing your style and your reasoning behind stylistic decisions. Cheers, man. ✌🏻
Ooosh yeah that was a great year. I had just finished studying and was in full graffiti mode relentlessly painting so gained lots of momentum. Momentum and consistency is a true key to evolving your style and over the past couple of years i've been studying again so my time has been fragmented. Finish up in 2018 so stay tuned for more progress!

Nice man! Interesting to hear your perspective on your as well as NZ's stylistic development! Really like the way you have analyzed your various style periods into concepts! Keep the videos coming! Greetings from Sweden! Peace
thank you brother really appreciate it. Yeah I felt it really important to try spread some of the new zealand graffiti back overseas. Hope to visit sweden one day man!
You're very welcome bro! Yes I really like learning more about graff abroad and definitely the NZ scene and its style given that I have followed you and the rest of the TMD guys for many many years, so these videos are great! You have a couch if you ever come to Stockholm! Would be fun to paint together at some point! Peace

Sir, your speaking skills and story telling abilities are top shelf. I appreciate that. Your painting skills... astounding, inspirational and just all out amazing. Salute sir
Thanks Stu, really appreciate it. I think painting graffiti is great but it's also important to be able to talk about what we do and why we do it. With my videos in the future I hope to offer that exact viewpoint and from the views of writers here in NZ and how we do it.

Bobby Hung I agree, teaching and speaking on graffiti is important. I have twin 11 year old boys and a 10 year old girl (and an infant). They're all into graffiti and I teach them all that I know. Including legal and illegal angles. They actually have a to do list for kids at school. Writing kids names on bookmarks and instrument cases. They're doing it legally AND have become a positive, Artistic COMMODITY!!! Kids seek my kids out for art. They're in 6th grade and 4th grade. My infant sits with me and gets histerical when he sees my colorways. We're a HipHop family, and it's positively charged. They enjoyed this vid with me. I'll check your prints out. Maybe once this Xmas passes I'll be able to contribute. I'd display your prints proudly. Your mad dope. Salute bro. Get up!!!!! Stay safe. Peace
Thats really awesome to hear man. I am a firm believer in the traditions of graffiti but I do also believe that there are other elements and forms of practice that break outside of the norm. There are positive sides to the artform too and I'm working towards showing that. thanks again for watching brother!
O yeah! Great video :) 👍👍 it's cool to know about a writer evolved throught the years, what have done, who he met and the places he travelled to! Great! Keep it up ;) and cheers from italy 🇮🇹 you are an inspiration 💪👍

The improvement transitioning thought 2007-2008 is outstandingly noticeable. I like they way you encourparated an abstrac principle to the formation of the lettering .. also love it when you guys bring life in to your work with animals etc I believe this would.capture a more demographic audience due to them not be soong critical and truly appreciating the art. Awesome keep it up you guys should all be proud it's amazing what you do.. well alot different from when I would help mates by coloring their bombs 🤪🥰
Thank you Kat for stopping by. Really appreciate the feedback. Doing my best to share some of my insights! Best time was 2007-08 because of so much more frequency of painting. Thats the best way forward!
Been an inspiration since I first picked up the tin I love the development of styles I personally froth on all of the styles youve developed so it's hard to choose just one

Thanks for watching man. 2001-2006 consists of a lot of biting and mixed pieces. Definitely explored a lot of different things so will do my best to get the next video up!

Thanks brother, just trying to showcase some of my work before it gets lost in all my hard drives and then nobody will ever do anything with it. Haser would be super killer! Is there anything you would change about this video to make it better? Was it too long... too short.. not enough pics.. etc?

I remember my beginning years of graffiti in 07 looking up to Askew, Does, Berst, Rime, Vans The Omega, Enue, Tues, Ewok, Best, basically the Ironlak team. It's sad the graffiti scene died out but I know it's making its comeback soon!
Hey Sam thanks for that. Those were definitely some of the peak years in new zealand for graffiti and its spread across NZ. A lot of the writers have now either moved on to other art forms or stopped. NZ graffiti is on the rise and I will do more in the future to generate more content for everybody.
+Bobby Hung That's dope keep the graffiti alive!! One thing I'm interested in seeing that not many graffiti youtubers do anymore is Blackbook speed sketches! I would definitely love to see more of that! Props on keep the graffiti scene alive though!
I remember seeing GBAK in huge, bold block letters painted in the most out of it spots when I was growing up as a kid in Auckland in the early 00’s. Never forget that shit
its really crazy how fast NZ got fragmented as you said, back in the late 2000s i was so jelly of the unity and supportive nature in the NZ scene.. your a killer B,,
I’d be very interested in seeing and hearing about 2006 down to when you started. But more interested in stories such as, close calls, the crazy or eye opening things you’ve seen on your nights out and things you’re friends have told you about what they’ve seen and done if they gave you permission that is. Been watching mainly the Auckland scene for around 7 years now and I’d love to know some crazy stories to put a picture into a video/story. Cheers bro love all the vids
Yes 2001-2006 is definitely possible and the other wilder stories may not be possible yet but will be in the future so definitely stay tuned. Who do you think are the top 5 writers in New zealand?
Sweet bro well the ones that would be some what acceptable or appropriate ofcourse. Hmm be hard to narrow down 5 Bro, I mean I like more of the raw, Heaven spot type writers. I’m not to fussed about the big colourful pieces. I’d have to say some of the dudes I know but I’ll keep them anon haha ;) love your work though bro, especially chrome and black that shits fire 👌🏼

Keep up these videos! You’re doing a great service to the community! :D It’s so easy to be isolated from understanding different scenes or even your home town if just flickin through social media, all you see is finished pieces, no context. So refreshing and interesting to actually get a glimpse of stories behind the style development and other graff scenes!

It's a hard one but 2013. Those works are like order in chaos for me. I like how they are chaotic works but at the same time have an underlying composition. I think they are risky pieces bordering on mess and masterpiece.
@@jaymanas9921 Completely agree with your comments there. The idea behind it was to try and push it a bit further in terms of the layering, colors, forms and shapes. Possibly bridging on aspects of abstraction but try to maintain the graf at the heart of it
im 31 now, a father of 3, married. started sketching and painting in minneapolis MN, learning from Eros and many others when i was 14, 15ish. it was my love and my journey and i remember seeing your pieces online on Flickr, along with Askew, and others. i even did an old sketch exchange with askew way back then, granted i was a punk kid but that connection online with artists changed my life. i was a kid lost in the legal system and graffiti and sadly drugs were the 2 things i felt i had and i did lose myself to the drugs eventually, but after many years away from drugs i feel a bit of the writers block lifting, and listening to this old video biography man has really inspired me again. thank you. i wrote Radar 7 as a young lad, idk if itll be the same as i feel im entering the world for the first time again, but seriously, thank you.
when you find out at 11:34 that your screen could be in 1080p.... im fuckin heated lol so amazing i had to watch it twice one of the most inspiring writers and artists for me

Thanks man I really appreciate the comments. Graffiti is my life and I respect it very dearly. Hopefully the video was informative for you. Which years do you think had my best pieces and any ideas who I should review next?
I just watched this vid again to try and figure which 1s I liked the most and cant choose everyone is mind blowing/rediculous Graf Colours/flow/style is top notch!!!

I've always thought you had a sick style. Especially your train work. Saw that huge GBAK wall one of your crewmates posted on bombingscience like 7 years ago and followed your work here and there since then, like that sick Kemr WC. I think the first style of yours was similar to the piece at 3:49 but my favorite has to be the astro stuff
Thanks brother really appreciate the feedback. Still doing our best to rep the crew and celebrate other writers. 3:49 was a great era and was using totally different paint as well but the astro was a good part of my career because it fully shifted what and how I painted. Thanks for watching!

Super dope, all years... It's very hard to pick one but my true love is always going to be funk style letters with a traditional flavor so I'd say the freight years like 2007/08... All years were amazing though...
Can you please, please, please do another real time episode starring you! I just wanna see you do another burner like that again that wall was so sick! You are huge inspiration and the direction and substance you are contributing to the N.Z scene with your youtube vids has meant so much to me and I am sure many others! Keep it up!

Thats only 10 years. Still got so many more stories and highlights to share. I also really wanna do other writers as well
Thankyou, your content has inspired me to paint again.
Hey monsters_thebed this is absolutely awesome news. Hit me up on IG once you've rocked some more pieces. Would love to see your work
An inspiring video, as this kinda video could help a lot of writers out there.

Amazing art bro! Always loved seeing your guys big GBAK stompers!
Thanks brother, we still got more to do. Just gotta find the spots that last a bit longer. Tracks are a bit pointless now
Nice on them lines bro!! Very colorful pieces!!♡
Cheers brother much appreciated. Nothing like a good ol color explosion!
Yoo make one for the previous years man this was great!!
Thanks bro, will do my best. The first five years are more horrible pieces and lots of biting. Particularly 2006 haha so we'll see how the response of this video comes along and I'll try drop the other one.
some absolutely mind blowing styles and burners, make one about your come up to this point, I love when old writers talk about their earliest days of bombing

A lot of crazy style in the Astro Fat year, Thank you for sharing it.. Mad props.
Cheers from Indonesia.
Thank you very much for watching I really appreciate it! What videos would you like to see more of in the future? Would love to come to indonesia!
Bobby Hung another NZ artist profile would be interesting, its like seeing how they work their style .. not only imagine by hearing their voice in real time web series video..

Thanks for sharing.! Nice video 😀
Honestly a big step ahead of other graff content on TH-cam, videos are easy to watch and show to a well informed view of style. I would love to see some Piece break down videos. maybe by picking 3-5 favourites from and year or style and compare/reflect on them and explain more about why the piece stands out.

2011/2012 and the Dogtown heaters are my personal favorites. I've seen photos of that era of yours and greatly gravitated towards those pieces. Thoroughly enjoyed you showing your divergent process of developing your style and your reasoning behind stylistic decisions. Cheers, man. ✌🏻
Ooosh yeah that was a great year. I had just finished studying and was in full graffiti mode relentlessly painting so gained lots of momentum. Momentum and consistency is a true key to evolving your style and over the past couple of years i've been studying again so my time has been fragmented. Finish up in 2018 so stay tuned for more progress!

Nice man! Interesting to hear your perspective on your as well as NZ's stylistic development! Really like the way you have analyzed your various style periods into concepts!
Keep the videos coming!
Greetings from Sweden!
Peace
thank you brother really appreciate it. Yeah I felt it really important to try spread some of the new zealand graffiti back overseas. Hope to visit sweden one day man!
You're very welcome bro!
Yes I really like learning more about graff abroad and definitely the NZ scene and its style given that I have followed you and the rest of the TMD guys for many many years, so these videos are great! You have a couch if you ever come to Stockholm! Would be fun to paint together at some point!
Peace
thanks brother, stockholm is on the list!

Sir, your speaking skills and story telling abilities are top shelf. I appreciate that. Your painting skills... astounding, inspirational and just all out amazing. Salute sir
Thanks Stu, really appreciate it. I think painting graffiti is great but it's also important to be able to talk about what we do and why we do it. With my videos in the future I hope to offer that exact viewpoint and from the views of writers here in NZ and how we do it.

Bobby Hung I agree, teaching and speaking on graffiti is important. I have twin 11 year old boys and a 10 year old girl (and an infant). They're all into graffiti and I teach them all that I know. Including legal and illegal angles. They actually have a to do list for kids at school. Writing kids names on bookmarks and instrument cases. They're doing it legally AND have become a positive, Artistic COMMODITY!!! Kids seek my kids out for art. They're in 6th grade and 4th grade. My infant sits with me and gets histerical when he sees my colorways. We're a HipHop family, and it's positively charged. They enjoyed this vid with me. I'll check your prints out. Maybe once this Xmas passes I'll be able to contribute. I'd display your prints proudly. Your mad dope. Salute bro. Get up!!!!! Stay safe. Peace
Thats really awesome to hear man. I am a firm believer in the traditions of graffiti but I do also believe that there are other elements and forms of practice that break outside of the norm. There are positive sides to the artform too and I'm working towards showing that. thanks again for watching brother!
O yeah! Great video :) 👍👍 it's cool to know about a writer evolved throught the years, what have done, who he met and the places he travelled to! Great! Keep it up ;) and cheers from italy 🇮🇹 you are an inspiration 💪👍

Amazing story, thanks for sharing with us!

WOW! I liked the journey of the art, thank you for the Inspiration got a long way to go.
The improvement transitioning thought 2007-2008 is outstandingly noticeable. I like they way you encourparated an abstrac principle to the formation of the lettering .. also love it when you guys bring life in to your work with animals etc I believe this would.capture a more demographic audience due to them not be soong critical and truly appreciating the art. Awesome keep it up you guys should all be proud it's amazing what you do.. well alot different from when I would help mates by coloring their bombs 🤪🥰
Thank you Kat for stopping by. Really appreciate the feedback. Doing my best to share some of my insights! Best time was 2007-08 because of so much more frequency of painting. Thats the best way forward!
Cool styles, mate. Should revisit 07/08 Amazing work
That was a great era for sure. What type of videos would you like to see more of in the future on this channel?
Bobby Hung Documentaries are great. Maybe just increase the pace a bit?
Will do my best to speed up the pace !
Been an inspiration since I first picked up the tin
I love the development of styles I personally froth on all of the styles youve developed
so it's hard to choose just one
Thanks Daniel really appreciate feedback. Working hard to push the styles and stay tuned there is more to come in 2019!
So dope! 2013-14

Nice man. Would love to see your flicks from 2001 - 2006!!!

Hey bro thank for stopping by. Those were the first batches of Ironlak in New Zealand. They used to come with lids for the cans
Holy snap incredoble work dude.
Thank you brother much appreciated. Still got a lot of work to put in!
crazy style, fire in my head after watching this!!!!!!
Thank you brother, theres still lots to push on my end!
berst really keeps nz graff alive👏👌..good work bro. keep it comming👍👍.. be good to see hazer 10yr review😊😊
Thanks brother, just trying to showcase some of my work before it gets lost in all my hard drives and then nobody will ever do anything with it. Haser would be super killer! Is there anything you would change about this video to make it better? Was it too long... too short.. not enough pics.. etc?

I remember my beginning years of graffiti in 07 looking up to Askew, Does, Berst, Rime, Vans The Omega, Enue, Tues, Ewok, Best, basically the Ironlak team. It's sad the graffiti scene died out but I know it's making its comeback soon!
Hey Sam thanks for that. Those were definitely some of the peak years in new zealand for graffiti and its spread across NZ. A lot of the writers have now either moved on to other art forms or stopped. NZ graffiti is on the rise and I will do more in the future to generate more content for everybody.
+Bobby Hung That's dope keep the graffiti alive!! One thing I'm interested in seeing that not many graffiti youtubers do anymore is Blackbook speed sketches! I would definitely love to see more of that! Props on keep the graffiti scene alive though!
I remember seeing GBAK in huge, bold block letters painted in the most out of it spots when I was growing up as a kid in Auckland in the early 00’s. Never forget that shit
its really crazy how fast NZ got fragmented as you said, back in the late 2000s i was so jelly of the unity and supportive nature in the NZ scene.. your a killer B,,
Thanks brother, the scene will be back together eventually!
I’d be very interested in seeing and hearing about 2006 down to when you started. But more interested in stories such as, close calls, the crazy or eye opening things you’ve seen on your nights out and things you’re friends have told you about what they’ve seen and done if they gave you permission that is. Been watching mainly the Auckland scene for around 7 years now and I’d love to know some crazy stories to put a picture into a video/story. Cheers bro love all the vids
Yes 2001-2006 is definitely possible and the other wilder stories may not be possible yet but will be in the future so definitely stay tuned. Who do you think are the top 5 writers in New zealand?
Sweet bro well the ones that would be some what acceptable or appropriate ofcourse. Hmm be hard to narrow down 5 Bro, I mean I like more of the raw, Heaven spot type writers. I’m not to fussed about the big colourful pieces. I’d have to say some of the dudes I know but I’ll keep them anon haha ;) love your work though bro, especially chrome and black that shits fire 👌🏼
haha no doubt man, can't go wrong with the chrome and black!

Keep up these videos! You’re doing a great service to the community! :D
It’s so easy to be isolated from understanding different scenes or even your home town if just flickin through social media, all you see is finished pieces, no context. So refreshing and interesting to actually get a glimpse of stories behind the style development and other graff scenes!
Thanks bro much appreciated. No doubt man, thats the aim of these videos is to break down my barriers that keep it locked away.

Much gratitude for this
Thanks J Manas glad you could stop by to watch. Which year do you think was the best?
It's a hard one but 2013. Those works are like order in chaos for me. I like how they are chaotic works but at the same time have an underlying composition. I think they are risky pieces bordering on mess and masterpiece.
@@jaymanas9921 Completely agree with your comments there. The idea behind it was to try and push it a bit further in terms of the layering, colors, forms and shapes. Possibly bridging on aspects of abstraction but try to maintain the graf at the heart of it
real dope bro. been a good 10 years!
Serge
Shot g, still got many more to come and hope to build it with you
im 31 now, a father of 3, married. started sketching and painting in minneapolis MN, learning from Eros and many others when i was 14, 15ish. it was my love and my journey and i remember seeing your pieces online on Flickr, along with Askew, and others. i even did an old sketch exchange with askew way back then, granted i was a punk kid but that connection online with artists changed my life. i was a kid lost in the legal system and graffiti and sadly drugs were the 2 things i felt i had and i did lose myself to the drugs eventually, but after many years away from drugs i feel a bit of the writers block lifting, and listening to this old video biography man has really inspired me again. thank you. i wrote Radar 7 as a young lad, idk if itll be the same as i feel im entering the world for the first time again, but seriously, thank you.
Thanks for stopping by bro, glad life is going well now and hope this video was inspiring. Never to late to get back out there bro!
when you find out at 11:34 that your screen could be in 1080p....
im fuckin heated lol so amazing i had to watch it twice one of the most inspiring writers and artists for me
haha good to see everything full screen man!

Choice vid man. Fav would hav to be the freights n that L.A. influence
Thanks brother ,the LA influence has definitely given me the roots of wildstyle. LA still putting in that work and holding the lineage of that style down for sure.
would love to see your first few years of graf when first got into it. and would love to see a web series on sofles bro
Definitely will look into doing the earlier years but can't promise its going to be good work lol. Yes a real time on sofles would be super sick!

So so dope. Peace from Melbourne ✌
Thanks brother I still have a lot more to do and prove so the journey aint over yet!
style killer!, big ups homie.
Thanks champ, you will be here before you know it if you're willing to stick at it!
I've always thought you had a sick style. Especially your train work. Saw that huge GBAK wall one of your crewmates posted on bombingscience like 7 years ago and followed your work here and there since then, like that sick Kemr WC. I think the first style of yours was similar to the piece at 3:49 but my favorite has to be the astro stuff
Thanks brother really appreciate the feedback. Still doing our best to rep the crew and celebrate other writers. 3:49 was a great era and was using totally different paint as well but the astro was a good part of my career because it fully shifted what and how I painted. Thanks for watching!
Big BERST1 the man keep on keeping on homie
Thank you brother really appreciate it. Still got lots to do for the scene!

bro hardout man. Check out @ill_jill on instagram shes got a collection of some really early nz graffiti.
Super dope, all years... It's very hard to pick one but my true love is always going to be funk style letters with a traditional flavor so I'd say the freight years like 2007/08... All years were amazing though...
Bars!!
Can you please, please, please do another real time episode starring you! I just wanna see you do another burner like that again that wall was so sick! You are huge inspiration and the direction and substance you are contributing to the N.Z scene with your youtube vids has meant so much to me and I am sure many others! Keep it up!
Definitely hope to do more next year and its definitely time for me to do another one next year. Really appreciate the comments and feedback bro!
