What's going on everyone? Sciz1 here. Welcome back to another episode of our graffiti freight
train watching series, a series where we take a look at a lot of the great graffiti, a lot of the
great artwork, throw ups, tags, entire pieces, character work, the whole nine yards, being
displayed on these sort of moving art galleries that are here for anyone who's smart enough
to look at them really. This is a great source of artistic inspiration and it really helps to
keep tabs on what exactly is going on within the graffiti community and graffiti communities around
the continent really. I'm gonna get right into it while i explain a couple things about the series
here. We have some great work here; it's great to see a Banzoe piece first of all, or Banzoe,
however he wants to - you know. you never know how to say a writer's names unless you actually meet
them. I've not met Banzoe in particular. Great colour scheme here; red and blue,
pink and blue it's always a great contrasting combo. Gotta love the spongebob character there.
I'll be moving down this line of freight. Some of these we've seen before in other episodes,
in which case i won't focus on them too too much. But one thing i did want to talk about is
specifically why it took me a little while extra to bring you guys another episode of this series.
This is episode 11 now. The last time we had an episode was 14 videos ago, so it's been a while,
yeah. Here's this nice uh Repus piece again, one we've seen before so i'm gonna go over
the ones we've seen a little bit faster than i otherwise would. But basically
i've had people saying "Sciz we want more of the freight watching episodes!" People have
been DMing me on instagram; people have been emailing me, leaving comments on every video,
and i have responded and said i promise i will bring you more episodes of the freight watching
series, and here they are. The behind the scenes stuff that a lot of you guys don't really see...
"Freighty Cat" hahaha. That's an interesting one, clever.
Got 2018 there by ... A lot of stuff you guys don't really see behind the scenes is why it
takes me so long to make a lot of these. New York, 19. oh that's Alfreighto, okay, yeah yeah. And a
lot of it is, it comes down to why you should sort of have respect for different train yards. And i
mean that on a few different levels. Number one, the normal yard where i usually do these episodes
is one that i know is not an active yard and i'm not really getting in anyone's way.
Got some dope tags by Mason. We got another Kael piece here.
Sort of benched like a background there which is nice that's an awesome little
character by the way as well look at how clean this is by the way. You know, that's.
those are the type of lines you're you're striving for as a writer,
in my opinion at least. I'll give you guys a better look at this.
But yeah, as i was saying, the yard that i usually do these at is not really an active
yard and i know i'm not exactly interrupting anybody by doing some episodes there. Oh!
I know i have to keep interrupting myself but,
We've got a dope setup throw, here.
Awesome to see. You know, it's funny. I would say like 90% of graffiti writers and graffiti
artists do 3d on throw ups going rightward or the drop shadow going like to the right whereas setup
the other way. There's nothing wrong with either way. It's just like a habitual thing i think for
most people. It certainly is for me to put it on the right. But being that that normal yard i'm
at isn't to active, i know i'm not interrupting anybody; i know i'm not putting anyone else in
danger. So that's the main reason i film there. Unfortunately they don't bring me too many cars
to look at there. It's more of like a storage location rather than like an active busy hub
for freight. This type of stuff is not good. Why would you do this, come on.
I'm not just stopping to focus on any of that stuff because i really just have no tolerance for
uh people beefing with each other. It makes you look like a child. But yeah, with my
the initial way i phrase that, with having respect for the train yard
more means you have to have respect for what's going on in that train yard.
I sort of like the serif coming down into an arrow type thing. I mean it's obviously not
done to perfection or anything there, but it's a cool concept.
Nice to see 2020. we've got Runal. He's appeared on many a freight. Good to see, good to see.
I'm trying to show you guys some of the smaller stuff too because
as any writer will tell you, and as i preach all the time, it's important to
not just look at pieces, but throws and tags as well because they're all related.
Improving at one will help you improve at the others, sort of, if you keep it balanced.
And a lot of people asking for more of these episodes seem to be
more hoping for - to get a good look at a lot of the little monikers and
stuff like that on these freights. So, I mean, i'm always going to pay attention to all of it.
Tentoe, okay. Oh [ __ ]! Guys, we got an Askew tag here!
That's awesome. He needs no introduction obviously. Everyone knows Askew tmd and
msk crews. But yeah, as i was saying, i'm always happy to show... like just out of personal
appreciation i would tend to show tags throws and pieces, and character work, and the little monikers.
So like it's not hard for me to sort of be like, "yeah of course i'm going to show all of that
stuff," when people ask specifically to see more of the monikers or the tags or that sort of thing.
So that's obviously big miles... oh well yeah of course it is, here he is. Look how old that is too!
We got a ... tag in there. Krab, another Runal piece here.
That one hasn't fared too well it looks like and this kind of thing, like when you're seeing
this piece of paint flap around, oftentimes that's the difference between using like a
an actual good paint and a not good paint. I'm not saying you should use one or the other.
If you're asking my personal opinion i would say use what you can afford. What i usually do
is i use what's cheap to be perfectly honest. But anyway, i got myself way off topic. I was
trying to talk about having respect for the train yard. And what i mean by that is just generally
everything you do in that train yard and every bit of attention you attract to yourself in a train yard
puts other people at danger who do also use that train yard. So, ways you can combat that is
don't leave your cans, don't leave empty cans at a train yard. You must clean up the spot!
That's like, it feels dumb that i need to say that, but a lot of younger writers
who maybe haven't had a lot of mentoring might not know that. But it is a must do. Number two;
if it's a quiet train yard, don't be making all kinds of noise or anything like that. Like it's
just - because once people are aware they stay aware that there's graffiti happening there Flannel Gang lol.
So number one, clean your damn cans up; number two, quiet yourself.
You shouldn't be there to make noise, you should be there to paint or whatever.
Another part of respecting the train yard and this is where it strays more into just my personal
opinion, because for some reason people disagree on this, is if you see other people in there
you should also respect them. I've never understood why so many other people have
such a hard time respecting other graffiti writers who may have different views about what they like
about graffiti, or what's more important to them in graffiti. Personally i think everyone should be
able to get along. At the end of the day, everyone's there for the love of graffiti and it shouldn't be
too hard for people to get past any differences they may have, and just get on with it, you know?
So we got a huge uh a whole car here. Well i would call it close enough, yeah.
You know speaking of like respect, like this is the the antithesis of respect to me. Like come on. That
is one of the advantages of doing larger pieces; it's harder for other people to screw them up.
Letters First crew there. Very faded out, but still oof 2016.
.... 2019 of course. Oh, we have a very old Beast tag as well.
Another thing when i'm saying don't make noise in a train yard, back to that point,
part of what i mean is if you're gonna do the type of thing where i do and just come here
for like a nice walk essentially, make sure it's not an active train yard essentially,
where you're gonna get people in trouble. That's a dope throw, I like that.
Mavor throw, yeah.
08!
We got 08 here!
A mage piece from 08! Guys that's like a 13 year old piece you know! And that's another thing like,
show a bit of respect for people's pieces. I guess that's a Mayor tag, so i'm assuming that was a
Mayor throw up as well, not Mevor, oops. But anyway, we're at the end of the line here. I
will be going to the other side to film what i can of these as well, in a separate episode.
If it's out, that'll be the first thing linked on the end screen of this video.
If not, it'll be out soon and maybe subscribe to see it! Our graffiti freight watching series
is just one of many series we do on the channel. If you found it interesting, informative, check
out some of the other series. We've got a, for the most part,
a great graffiti community here on the channel. I'll leave a link as well to the playlist of the first 10 episodes of this graffiti freight
train watching series. Some are more piece focused. Some are like very heavily focused on the pieces.
Some are very heavily focused on the monikers and tags and all that. So be sure to check those
out. If you did enjoy this, you'll definitely enjoy all the other episodes. So until my next one, peace!
