Pengo is a straight up philosopher. I hope dude is living well. I read that he was a Christian minister. What he says about graffiti being part of the urban ecosystem is so true. Writers understand the environment and the topography of the city. They touch it, they feel it, they interact with it in a way that most people never do. For a writer the city is not a collection of nodes to get to but a continuous system of sensory information ... a life force. I wish I knew Pengo when I was writing. He would be a great mentor. Dude is spot on.

Somebody should write a memoir about ERIE ... and then turn that shit into a screenplay. I would. If you're from Chicago and wrote graff in the 90s you know this dude is a king. His stories would make great TV or a movie. Doing a show about Chicago writers in the 90s in the style of the movie KIDS would be mad dope. Can we do this?

Graffiti is graffiti is graffiti is graffiti. There is a Chicago style so I thought. I saw it first in Chicago as a kid in the late 80s early 90s. But I see that same style in LA and NY and everywhere else. It’s a good style and I love it no matter where I see it. Chicago people will know it if they ever saw J4F, CMW, UAC (I’m not familiar with south side crews) in the early 90s like Sivel, Flue, Lone. There are others too like Temper and Bel, some of my favorites

Uhh idk why folks on here saying Graff in the Chi is dead.. lol have yall seen the highways? Even Metras are getting hit. Heaven spots. Cta. Red Line has been popping. Blue line. Freights always poppin. Covid brought Graff back tenfold in Chicago. Chicago isn't my city but I've seen whats going on with my own eyes. It's alive and well out there. Still hard af, but alive. The handful of graffers out here are going HARD. 815🤘🏻JTOWN

This is a shortened version. The original cut is on KZitem kzitem.info/news/bejne/pI-Jta2ehpOaZW0 "After completing the primary photography and original edit of the film, a partnership that formed while making the film went very sour. A huge re-edit was forced and a main character was cut from the film. Thus, the released 63 minute version was created. After a tragic death and a much needed reconciliation, the film was allowed to be re-edited and 4 additional, original characters were added to the film, as well as extended original interviews."

@@yommish you said you don't understand people's perspectives on art. I pointed out that graffiti is done with out permission - similar to forced copulation. Then I pointed out that street art or practice walls are done with the owners consent. One form is acceptable because it is permitted, graffiti is an Artform that is forced upon owners and whatnot so it isn't seen as art. I don't fully understand your reply so you'll have to elaborate more in detail. I'm not wrong for making this comparison, it's simple to grasp. Permission = legal / no permission = illegal just like making love is an act of procreation vs. Raping a woman is a sex crime. We're still treating graffiti as crime right?? What world do you live in where it's okay to write on ppls property w out permission? Ppl trip on that.

you talkin bout freights or city transit trains though. cause freights are still popping pretty much in every region. crews like cmw and xmen been keeping the cta stuff alive somewhat but they never run. gets buffed too fast. bombing in chicago has been mostly relegated to the highway and rooftops off out south now. i love the big wall on 290 from harlem to austin lots of good wall real estate over there and it doesnt get buffed super often. the city got what it wanted for the most part alot of chicago graff is legal walls and permission walls now.
