Tight #deanbyb #bubbleletter piece. And then to the left, a Kiss fan (((🤘🏽))) #nygraffitiexperience 1976 "THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE FIRST NYC SUBWAY GRAFFITI DOCUMENTARY EVER MADE" Interview with director @fentonlawless by @chinobyi @massappeal Link to article in bio. Link to movie in article. "Over the years I’ve scoured the remotest depths of the Internet in search of NYC subway footage from the ’70s and ’80s. About seven years ago I stumbled upon a short graffiti documentary from the ’70s on Getty Images that blew me away. To this day it remains some of the most impressive early New York graffiti footage I think I’ve ever seen. It’s such an accurate snapshot of the NYC I remember as a child. It also features a rare interview with CLIFF 159, the founder of 3YB (3 Yard Boys), a versatile All-City writer from the Bronx who was well known for his comic book-themed whole cars. Some of the other notable writers who can be seen in the film include Phase 2, Comet, Blade, IN, Billy167, LSD OM, Ajax, Dean, Mico, Checker 170. At the end of 2016, I noticed one of my recommended videos on YouTube was a film called The New York Graffiti Experience 1976 by #fentonlawless ... eight years before the publication of the book Subway Art. After a bit of sleuthing I learned that Fenton Lawless is an actor, musician, and photographer who lives in New York. Naturally I had to learn more about this project, which you can check out in the window above before reading my brief interview with the filmmaker...At the 6:40 mark you can see a CLIFF piece featuring the Marvel Comics character “Thing”..." #chinobyi #massappeal #blackenedgraffiti #heavymetalgraffiti #dethgraff #gothgraff #hexgraff #runesigns #apotropaicgraffiti #punxgraff #punkgraffiti #horrorgraffiti #signsandwonders #theblackartsvol1 #tbav2 #blackentheearth #withtheblackness #allhallowsvalentineseve
