Blade – King of graff [vimeo]


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.

Graffiti on P1 [radio]



Today in the program “Klubværelset” on the Danish P1 they had an interview with a graffiti writer “Kaj”, who told his story about how he lived and wrote in Berlin during 2003. The segment starts at around 15:30 in the player above.

Berlin Easyjet-settet.

Klubværelset handler om Berlin som en forlystelses by for unge danskere. Billige rejser har gjort det attraktivt at tage til Berlin for at gå i byen, male graffiti, gå på café, tage stoffer eller bare bo med en billigere husleje. Klubværelset tager med et festudvalg på idé-udviklings tur til Berlin, taler med en graffitimaler der har brugt Berlin til at realisere sine kunstneriske drømme og en dansk DJ der har spillet adskillige gange i Beriln. Og vi taler med den tyske forfatter Tobias Rapp om det fænomen han kalder for “Easyjet-settet”.

Spray the Day [vimeo]

A 12-minute documentary on the graffiti artist ‘Elsam’ from Copenhagen, who is about to give up on it all… until he becomes acquainted with ‘Spray Uzi’ – a graffiti crew from Nairobi.

In Kenya, graffiti is a relatively new phenomenon, and the artists from Nairobi sprays their colours and good messages onto walls across the country, without getting into trouble with neither the home-owners nor the police – because the Kenyans receive the new art form with open arms.

Du använder oftast blå färg. Varför?
– Det är färgen på min logga. Jag kom över tre lastpallar blå och svart färg som skulle kasseras på grund av kort datum. Sen var det bara att köra på.
