A few things I was lucky enough to see while checking out this exhibit which was pretty well done IMO. Went twice, had so much fun Saturday night and was able to score free tickets to come back and bring my wife who couldn't make it Saturday. Actually took flicks on Sunday, the last day of the exhibit. Complete list of Artists ect. https://beyondthestreets.com/pages/artists Personal fave both art, and general personality wise almost as soon as I walked in. Incase you haven't met him yet Futura 2000 is the man. Dude lives by his own rules very well. Probably should have shot more of the freight stuff. This giant miniature of the Southern Pacific box car was pretty dope. For scale, not sure why this looks like a bad pano but you get the picture. 2019-09-28 18.34.42.mov Cool installation, lots of foreign currency on display. Out of all the stuff I hadn't seen before, this piece above got me really stoked the most. Not that I didn't come across a lot of cool shit I hadn't seen before, this is just so dope to me. Not even sure who the artist is. Now I realize why people were taking pictures of the little signs next to the art lol. Photo does no justice it was huge, I want to say 8 feet tall maybe. Beastie Boys exhibit was pretty dope, a lot of cool details I'm sure I overlooked some of them. Taki and early NYC gang era wall. Right across from Taki, the one and only true pioneer himself. West coast pioneer/original as well. They had the uni's, and the mini's... Took a quick oontz break. I've seen this artists work before online, doesn't do it justice. Cleon Peterson I think. Really dig the style, the use of color, and the confirmation bias I get as an Anarchist. At least that's the statement/message I walk away from it with. Government is violence. Artists that have hands on shit for kids to do at art shows earn automatic respect. IMO these are the most important, and most overlooked people at any art show. Couldn't resist a quick one liner. Lady Pink shot by Martha Cooper, Jesus Christ she was dope. That's all I got, hope you enjoyed.

Some pictures from the master piece era during the early to mid 1970's. Here are a few examples of some trains that RIFF 170 had painted during the 70's. It was hard not to be blown away by the concepts and next level work by RIFF when it rolled by.

These are for sure some of NYC's style writing history from the eatly years of the Master piece era. *If you know where these pieces are do not name the location and let others earn their pics and a chance to gaze at writing history!* Someone went over some history from the 70's.

PHASE 2 was apart of the early years of Hip hop in NYC. PHASE has worked on quite a few album covers for many artists from all over the world. He was a man of many talents and will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched. From albums he did designs for or rapped on here are a few examples. Continue with your own research and you will find many more as these are only a few from my personal collection. Hope you are able to discover much more about the talents and how PHASE 2 changed the world with what he did.

RIFF 170 painting a STAY HIGH 149 tag in 2019. This was at the RAY-B 954 and STAN 153 wall in NYC. This was a real treat for everyone to watch RIFF do a few tags on the wall. Some of us at the jam knew this moment needed to be recorded as RIFF wasn't really painting at this point in time. VID_20190928_174626.mp4

RIFF 170 coming back in 2020 and painting two walls. RIFF 170 stopped painting in 1976 and has only painted a handful of times in the 80's and late 90's. It looks like he didn't lose the magic touch and never stopped painting since 1976. Wait until RIFF 170 comes back with his famous mechanical style on the walls. 2020 was a big year for seeing a real old school Boogie down pioneer getting back up on the walls. NYC old timers jam hosted in PHILLY by SANK 1 and BABY ROCK 137. Wall from NYC

PHASE 2 doing a BOY 170 tribute from 2000. BOY 170 was one of the many names that RIFF 170 use to write during the 70's. Always something to see one pioneer go out for another.

Here are a few vintage drawings by RIFF 170. These drawings are from the early 70's to mid 80's. From RIFF's master pieces, characters and tags you can see why he is an early 70's style writing pioneer from NYC.
