Oooooooooh snap! When I noticed the “Stay High 149” piece on the train, my jaw dropped and I knew I had to post this up. Way ahead of his time and more elaborate and stylish than all the other pieces I have noticed from this era. This video also shows a whole bunch of tags from late 1972, before some of them were getting cleaned by the authorities. These tags included many by Stay High 149 & Phase II amongst other FBI crew members, Cliff 159 and many others were also getting down and dirty in the yards, in the trains and anywhere else they could leave their mark.

While Urban-art enjoys a worldwide success, the idea is to focus on the tag, brutal, primitive, the most rejected and misunderstood discipline of graffiti. Practical of insiders, few know how to decode, to enjoy. DrColors presents “Graffiti Machine” for the first time in the exhibition “A Nous York” (Lille, October 2014 / January 2015). Created from recycled materials (wood, skateboard wheels, DIY meters), it reproduces a selection of famous New York tags such as False, Guns, Pear and Taki 183. An accumulation, until saturation. Pure Tag, without artifice. Signature. The essence of Graffiti. This artistic experience try to reproduce the mechanical movement, the repetition, the compulsive gesture of the tagger.
