What is up youtube, welcome finally to another
installment of our graffiti freight train watching series.
I'm Sciz. In the series we basically walk the line
take a look at some of the great graffiti, like the stuff behind me here,
some of the great artwork, the throw ups, the tags, the whole nine
yards, and do a little bit of analysis and take a look at some of the great
work here that is being displayed on these sort of moving art galleries for
anyone who's smart enough to look at them. So stick
around we're going to jump right into it and of course as you can see here
behind me we're starting off big with Runal and Hero.
The beautiful whole car here, I really appreciate the
the Hero piece here particularly because he's injected a little bit of
style into this but he's also kept it
simplistic enough that it's very readable
and it's just a really nice way to do a whole car basically.
So props to Hero for that and of course Runal.
He does quite a bit of work really. I don't know where he's from. All
i know is i see him up quite a bit. So props to both of them for
that. That car right there is sort of a clue
as to what's to come as well. There's tons and tons of
great stuff, big stuff. A lot of writers here putting in
huge amounts of effort to get their names up and get some great graffiti on
these cars. Here's another one here,
one from Klon i want to say. K L O N I believe. He sort of separated his
n and his k a little bit unless i'm just reading it wrong and it's
Klioz or something like that but
i really appreciate how he's done the 3d on that piece. It's
a great way to do it. Makes a nice impact for something large scale like that of
course. As always if you guys recognize any of
these writers put in the comments. Hey some of them could be you guys. Some
of them could be friends of yours, something like that. It's always great to
know where these writers are coming from, know where these freights have been.
Again another Runal; we got 2019 there on that one. I'll take a
step closer for you. It's hard to complain when you see simple styles like
that. We got a 2019 here by Slush. Slush is one
you'll see quite a bit in this area anyway at least.
Again, very simple. A little more staggered with each letter than you see
in a lot of graff but hey nothing particularly wrong with that.
Certainly makes an impact and with a lot of these freights that's sort
of what you're out to do. But as i was saying before it's super important
if you see anyone you know see anyone you recognize from your area throw it in
the comments because that's how we all sort of stay connected as a one
graffiti community. Even though it's become a more increasingly online
graffiti community this is one of the benefits of the online side of
documenting graffiti and that sort of thing is that we can all sort of learn
more about a lot of the writers who are putting a
lot of effort, a lot of time, making some great strides towards having
super nice styles and great pieces and displaying them for everyone. So if you
see anyone put in the comments!
Something there... Got a nice Dinkie tag up there. I like that again. Clean style,
he was obviously reaching a bit but i love that little tag style. And
one of the things we paid attention to in a couple of our other episodes
is a couple lines of tankers because, as i was saying in those episodes, you can
see some nicer work from a lot of the Markal
artists, people putting down a lot of good character
work, a lot of good tag styles and you can learn a hell of a lot from
just different hand styles and stuff like that as well. So i do like to pay a
bit of attention to some smaller stuff like this being done. We
have seen this in some other episodes here on the channel as well. If you go
back and watch some of the other episodes you'll recognize some of the
people that are definitely in this episode. Of course, i can link the
whole series in the corner if you want to look. We've had five episodes of our
graffiti freight train watching series so far
and of course i hope to do many more because it's a nice little series on the
channel and it's been highly requested that i continue doing it, so that's what
we're here to do today! So up ahead here we actually have
personally one of my favorite cars on this entire line.
I'm a sucker for a good jagged style and Stein here - I'll take a step back -
has put down exactly that. Beautiful beautiful style and also it's
just plain super clean. Hailing from the mhc crew there it looks
like. But yeah this is this is a beautiful
style and one thing i do appreciate about this piece in particular too
is he's used three colours. He's used black he's used white and
a nice green background to make it stand out: very impactful
and a lot of times when you're doing like a more intricate style
like that it is nice to keep the colours more simplistic
to make it make sense a little bit. Looks like this guy was getting up
together with Stein here. He used more of a gray and white
with the same green background. Also from mhc.
How of course this is just complex beyond belief. Yeah to be honest I'd need a
little bit to sit here and read it but what i notice about it right away is
he's done a great job of balancing the negative space quite nicely. If you look
over here he's got one sort of big arrow there, another sort of
big arrow there. I'm never really a fan of extensions that don't come from
somewhere and aren't really... organic but he's done a very nice job of making
those two sort of balance out the piece and at least add something to it so
big fan of that. Big fan of that.
And of course you can't argue with a nice consistent style like that.
One of the most important things you should be looking to do in your graffiti
is if you're going to make a complex style
you need to make it consistent all the way through. That's one of the things
that makes a complex style look any good at
all really. So it's important to remember that. That's
the best way i can put it. Of course we got some faded out stuff
here. I always like to try and show it. And up
here we have a couple people you recognize from the beginning of last
episode linked in the cards, in the corner. These
are huge writers: Beast, love his throw up style, always
have. I'd like to say that's a 2013 piece. It certainly looks
aged enough to be that, in which case that's seven years old that's awesome!
That's really awesome to see. Even more awesome to see is Naah here. If
any of you guys know freight's in the area I am, you know he's
up all the time. Very consistent with this style too. Also
2013. They look old, i bet they really are
2013. Sizec or Sizeo. I've never actually known
because he very commonly sort of cuts his c
or his o with that so it could just be like a bar line
or it could be a c. But yeah he's up with with Beast and Naah all the time as
well I think.
Again here we have a nice bench by Runal.
Very simple style not much else to say about it than that.
Personally i don't necessarily see the fun in doing too many pieces
like this. To me, and this is just a personal opinion it's okay if
people don't agree on the channel, to me like half the fun of graffiti is
is the style and injecting a bit of style into your fonts and your lettering
but if if people want to do pieces like that you can't argue with it either.
We have some gorgeous hand styles up here i want to take a quick look at for
you guys.
We got Beast.
love the bee there the little serifs on the B,
very nice.
Yeah so our graffiti freight train watching is one of the many series we do
on the channel here. We do a lot of graffiti reviews
i show some of my work on the channel as well. If you want to take a
look at more of these freight train watching episodes
we've got a lot of killer lines that we've looked at so i will link them
on screen for you guys to look at. Check out the channel, see if you like anything.
