Quality Of Life (2022) Part 5 -NYC Graffiti Documentary-

[@pectenmaximus231]

First time I saw a wholetrain in person I think my heart grew three sizes. I love everyone who is out there getting up and doing their thing keeping this true art form alive.

[@exileisland2675]

I love how you literally can't look in any direction without seeing multiple ads yet when someone makes something look better they're criminals.

[@tylermcneil5239]

Can I spray paint your place?

[@exileisland2675]

@@tylermcneil5239 the only reason i say no is cus i wanna spray paint my place. and thats not even an accurite comparison at all cus its all public property. its actually frowned upon by graffiti artists to paint on peoples homes or any private land. go lick some boots homie.

“Vandals” !? Goddd its art. This country lacks so much public art Graffiti is so beautiful

[@LSDREAMIN]

Sure graff is an art form but it’s STILL vandalism now matter how you slice it people don’t want their shit painted but that’s kinda the point, doing it anyway..

Excellent documentary very well done ✅ Back in the day 1985 all subway got graffiti inside and outside. And all buildings

[@SMOOCHDAHOMIE]

Awesome stuff showing both sides, amazing works, great editing, all round good to see. Rare to find a good graffiti doco these days. Love from Aus

[@STANLEY2BRICKS]

Best graff doc I've seen in over a decade. Good job whoever did this

The trains are painted in such a way that they look beautiful in that haggard city.

Don’t knock anything til you try it…… to see your piece roll in is my version of getting married😂😂😂😂

This is a great series. Props for the work.

[@CustomSneakers]

I love love the whole Car/Train pieces. Took me back to the mid 80's when I was out there bombing.

[@jessevasquez2774]

Loved the Vid. It will never die. Your not hurting no body. It’s a way of ART WORK. It’s even in L.A. Ca…keep up the good work Griffith Art peeps.

[@plainform]

when these officials talk about gathering people to clean up graff, I'm always reminded of my days doing community service with graffiti abatement and us kids catching tags with the rollers when the officers weren't looking.

[@spunkpoo]

Great Doco! Love the end with Bozo after he got hit for going over Zexor. Well done!

[@genesisazor4761]

Glad I found this gem

[@mike-we8ic]

personally i love seeing jack daniels and target ads covering the wholecars including the windows. we need more of that because i associate paint with bad times so that means paint is bad

Music variety and choice was great throughout the series.

[@2_2_4_3]

Most of these writers hitting clean trains definitely out of towners and from other countries. Keep smashing! Reminds me of my youth and seeing magazines with clean trains destroyed from the 80s. That last footage of the male Karen yelling at the camera man telling him to stop vandalizing graffiti art was too funny.

[@VeeDeLarge]

Not “most”, “all”. The Europeans are coming through and tactically killing it with incredible full/multi-car top to bottoms and I’m here for it. Sadly I’m yet to see one in transit. Loving the movement though.

[@zzbudzz]

I'm 50 years old and never have graffitied anything beside a school desk , but i love to see good graffiti not a fan of a 4 second spray paint scribble on fence though.

[@LSDREAMIN]

Tags are essential for “good” graffiti like you say.

[@JeffEmerson-k3z]

Leave these people alone, what they do is beautiful n artistic and I believe it brightens the city’s landscape. The movie Warriors in the 70s is remembered so much because of the subway trains covered in art.

[@sasosasisicanabo828]

finished part 5 and need more, hope you got some more of this, really impressed by your work the best series i saw in a long time

[@JWFdocumentaries]

there is some bonus footage from these interviews that ill be releasing. But the storyboard is all caught up to present day with part 5. But I'm cooking up some new projects as we speak. Stay tuned, thanks for the positive feedback!

Thats awesome dude, im patiently waiting, keep that energy and thanks for your great work

Obviously, nothing can be as good as the real days, as the peak time early 80's, but these entire car mega pieces look AMAZING!!!!

[@gamingoneoone3685]

I heard a story about Les that he was arrested for male prostitution and beaten up by his wife for sucking cock. Have you ever heard that before? From graffiti writer Casino. I suspect he got Kets house raided and him arrested. I believe he is an NYPD government informant. I also heard rumor about he is in GtaVi............

[@BUDBLOOOD]

Is there going to be a part 6 but i guess it's up to date huh.

[@bredonheh4473]

I've never really seen shitty artistic graffiti, which doesn't relate to gang tags, violent remarks, and racial discrimination which is strongly negative. This artwork makes a bleak world look a little prettier. It's a great way to express who we are as humans especially as graffiti has been with us since the beginning which is seen in cave painting.

[@robs6656]

That was dope AF..✔️

[@FritzEschkobar]

Fucck this is dope, you see when theres a crisis, like covid, graffiti keep living and it's undeniable, it has a much bigger impact when the repression guards down, and the fact that it has amazing impact on people's eyes that the city is alive , shit I can only imagine regular dudes wondering how those pieces popped up when he was on lock down watching tv
