Nic Thamaire Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 One revenue-making notion that officials categorically reject is charging would-be graffiti artists to return a subway car to the way it looked in the 1980s. One man who runs a Web site dedicated to the history of subway graffiti, http://www.at149st.com, said some might plunk down a few hundred dollars for the chance. "Graffiti artists have a soft spot in their heart for trains," Eric Deal said. (That's his "tag"; he asked that his real name not be used.) He acknowledged, however, the slim chances that MTA officials, who wince at pictures of old graffiti-riddled cars, would ever approve. Even if it brought in a lot of money. "I think the MTA would be very apprehensive about endorsing it on any level," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InDY_500 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Its like either you can illegally paint them and they run for maybe half a day or pay a couple hundred dollars and have the entire car run the whole day or even longer... But I think that option is goin to happen, to many people dont want to see trains graffed up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chad Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 well its not that stupid of an idea. Maybe they think if subway cars were legalized more graffiti would come off the streets. Graffiti on the streets is worse than on subways. In no way does the graffiti harm the subways and even if they were covered in graffiti people would still ride them.

WRECKONIZE Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 ^^ where are trains legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
religion Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 Im not sure if this is good or bad. If it could happen or not is another isssue in a way. I think that the most successful writers doing legal trains could be a great thing on several levels. Its roots should always be illegal, but the expansion of personal art into public space seems like a good idea. Pubic art on any level is a step ahead for north american culture on any level I think... for now. Yeah. :freak: New Years drunk, Canadian style... fo shure.

Telo Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 interesting . but ehhhhh.. This seems like the mta would be the winner in this situation.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
test Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 If it's legal and you gotta shell out a couple bills to hit em up, then they oughta be supplyin' the montana and respirators. Paying a fee to do graff, got me fucked up. Whether you look at it as public art and or vandalism or whatever, that is straight up exploitation. Bet they'd do that to attract big time writers and try and solidify a case on em. Fuck that and fuck the system and fuck payin money to paint.

anti-graffiti artist Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Originally posted by why write?@Dec 5 2004, 01:16 PM graffiti on subway cars legally will never happen in my opinion Quoted post it can be legal if you buy the train. You can buy scrap trains though you'd need a lot of money for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
