Just got done adding some precious 80’s flix to the gallery.  These pictures and quite a few others have been rolling around in my collection for some time.  Takes me back to the day when we actually had to be in front of a piece or be prepared to use a lot of stamps to get our work out to friends and fellow writers we met along the way.  I have tons of these old flix spread out across my collection to include undeveloped negatives.  What a treasure those could turn out to be.  I will be going through them by and by and posting them as I find the gems.  The benefit to you, of course, is lots of new, previously unpublished photos to gawk at as well as a glimpse at the unsung graffiti history that hasn’t made it into every graffiti book and magazine that you’ve seen.  These flix are a really good look at graffiti letters and their evolution over time because this was a period in graffiti when letters actually meant more than the art-school craftsmenship that prevails today.  This is graffiti art from the streets, where it belongs.  It’s a raw and powerful art seen at the endings of its original renegade form….enjoy
