"The pieces might sound like the result of some kind of graffiti-world version of Old-Timers’ Day at Yankee Stadium. But they are actually the works of a newly formed collective of (mostly) former graffiti writers in their 20s and 30s, who have embarked on an unusual citywide campaign to summon 50 or more of the most famous pieces of old-school graffiti out of the history books and back onto the streets. The project, called “Subway Art History,” is unusual not only because the artists are making the pieces with the permission of businesses, schools and other perhaps nostalgic owners of blank vertical space, but also because of the nature of the pieces themselves. They are expressions of homage in a subculture that has almost always been defined by fierce competition, intense striving for originality and a kill-the-elders attitude toward the past. "
who fuckin cares if seen did a whole car 20 years ago? a lot of people did whole cars 20 years ago, you dont take out 6 or 7 amazing highspots to get your picture perfect.,all you old washed ups who think that its okay should be benched for life, if you think its okay to go over someones highspots because your art is more important???

real graffiti and youth vigor over old farts creating rules and hating from their rocking chairs any day all day, you cant recreate the rules of graffiti. if you are to old to abide by them become a real estate agent and stop hating on young cats who can still swing their cocks and get it hard too.
