I'd never heard of this film previously. I love the early New York graffiti in it's relative infancy in the early/mid 70's. Still raw but starting to evolve into the 'wild style' of the late 70's and early 80's. Many well documented pieces featured here, including the much photographed Blade 'piece at 07:30. Subscribed!

Many legendary pieces featured on this film. Graffiti was probably a little less prolific than during the 80's and pieces probably ran a little longer as a consequence.

@@PODWHEELS Hard to say if that was him or not as he wrote a million variations like Fuzzola, Fuzzy, Fuzztastic etc etc, plus Lord, Lucky Lord, Lord Mom, etc.. which were up.. so whose to say he wouldn't put a 101 after his name too just for fun? Hmm. Anyways, if you ever see the hardcover book called Fuzz One pick it up! It captures the 1970s graffiti scene with a tonne of photos, including burners from 1975 that would have held their own in the 1980s. And details, like Fuzz and Cliff getting trapped in a tunnel together while bombing. I agree that the 'before hip-hop' graffiti scene is really interesting, and lesser known too.

It was out of this that "artists" like Keith Haring became rich and famous, with the help of Holly Solomon, who provided "graffiti artists" with paint, tools and art canvases and then sold the resulting paintings in an exhibition of their works. That was in 1980-81. I read about it in ArtNews, at that time.

I got into graffiti in the mid 80's. Loved to go on trains and just try to figure out everyone's tag. Like the lady said, it was like a sport to have your name up everywhere. Good times going to yards and layups and walking into the scary azz dark tunnels. It was all fun while it lasted. Made many friends from all over NYC.
