This has been online for 2 years.

In the early 80´s thousand of young people united on what they believed to be a quest toward painting the walls and trains in New York City.

One of these young people was a 15 year old boy from the Bronx, known as Blade.

During more then a decade, Blade spend days and nights painting subway-trains in New York City. More than 5000 in total. An achievement that later gave him the title – King of graff.

This is a portrait of Blade, a man who started out as a graffiti painter, and who ended up a great artist.

Here at dr,dk is a documentary about Jean-Michel Basquiat in French and English with Danish subtitles.

30-10-2011 21:00

I midten af 1970′erne var pop-art bevægelsen ved at drage sit sidste suk, fanget af den samme sjælløshed, kulde og samme materialistiske samfund, som det ville skildre og afsløre. En kunstart, som Andy Warhol rammende beskrev som ‘en kunst enhver kan lave’. i denne periode præget af dyb tomhed dukkede den unge afro-amerikanske graffitikunstner Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88) op på kunstscenen med en noget anden og mere dynamisk historie.

Saber sky writing

From thehundreds.com

For one hour starting at noon, SABER wrote across the sky circling downtown L.A. Aside from shouting out his crew, he called for an end to the mural moratorium the city has affronted on its citizens. Since graffiti and street art are being attacked by the bureaucrats, he took to the air, right over City Hall. Shouldn’t be much of a surprise since SABER had the world’s largest graffiti piece in the L.A. riverbanks over a decade ago.
