Ricky Rackswell Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 found another one.... Ether Where you from and what do you write? I write ETHER of the MADE U LOOK Crew and I am from Chicago. Graffiti; vandalism or art? What do you prefer, legal or illegal? Wait, graffiti is legal? I was under the impression that graffiti is vandalism, and 100% illegal. If there is an ILLEGAL piece on a wall; it could be viewed by some as art. I might agree, though I would still call it graffiti. Pieces on a permission wall are art too, but I DO NOT consider that graffiti, these pieces are NOT ILLEGAL. What writers influence you? Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days of graffiti when everything was new, exciting, and everything was influential in one way or another. When I was younger i was influenced by a few writers. Sadly, over time I have lost respect for many of them for a variety of reasons. More recently, I find a lot of influences outside of graffiti. The only people that really influence me both in and out of graffiti is my crew and family. What do you think about the bullshit ass beef fucking the graffiti scene up? In any major city your gonna have beef. Beef in certain cities have helped push their respective scenes, however in some cities beef has held them back. I hear a lot of people say, “The scene should be united, why can’t everyone get along.” however, this is graffiti; not summer camp. Not everyone is going to be one big happy family, and thankfully so. Where’s the most interesting place you’ve painted? I think almost anywhere I travel to paint, I find these locations interesting in different ways. I think that is why I enjoy traveling so much. You are known for painting subways. It almost seems like it has become a trend as of late to paint passenger trains. How do you feel about the current increase of writers painting subways? At the time when I had first started painting subways, most writers who were also painting transit would go into a yard with 3-6 cans, and do a 5-15 minute stylized strait letter. The majority of writers were content with painting transit this way. Seeing panels like this made me question what was possible to accomplish on these transit systems. During this time period most were not pushing the limits of style on transit like our predecessors were, with the exception of a small few. I decided to take it upon myself to push the bounds of what people thought was feasible on these systems. Consequently, in recent years people have caught on. Writers are painting bigger, more intricate and with more colors, which puts a smile on my face. However, now a lot of writers who have no background painting such surfaces, feel compelled to paint them. What do you mean by that exactly? Many writers feel obligated to legitimize themselves within the “graffiti scene” by painting trains. These writers often rely on other people to take them to paint these trains. It’s one thing to be chaperoned to spots, paint some panels, and send the photos to magazines or post them on the Internet. However, it is an entirely different beast to dedicate your whole career to transit. To do the homework, to learn the ins and outs of spots yourself, to memorize schedules and timetables and patterns. I learned to paint steel by my self by applying these fundamentals. Subsequently, it always makes me skeptical of a writer who doesn’t paint their native system or if they don’t have one, but will travel to other cities to paint transit. I always wondered how people could go to other cities and represent on those systems, when they can’t even represent on the trains of “their city”. People have all sorts of excuses (ie: too difficult, too heated, etc.), but what it comes down to is some writers just aren’t built for it. Which is fine. I just honestly don’t see the point of painting transit if you’re not gonna be 100% dedicated to all aspects of it. When i see photos of panels by writers who are just trying to ride on the “transit trend” I am not impressed. I have no respect for panels like that. I have more respect for people who do there own thing instead of those who do something to be a part of the latest fad. I am more impressed by a dope freight by a freight writer, or a throw-up in a crazy spot by a bomber, than I am by some mediocre panel by either. Some writer’s seem to not have an interest in transit why is that? Well, obviously there is a flip side. There are writers who try to play transit down, and imply that painting subways is a waste of time, as it is not usually viewed by other writers or the general public. Of course there’s nothing wrong with wanting to smash a city, to be up and be seen by everyone. And sure, 15 minuets of fame feels good, as does having another writer say “I’ve seen that spot!”, or “your so dope!”. I can see how this could be motivation for some, but that is not what motivates me. I am secure enough within myself to go to a city and not have anyone know I was there, besides my crew, my close friends, and the transit workers who get to see my panels. What made you agree to this interview with 004? And get down with the fam? What influenced me to do business with 004 Connec is that they were down to back some writer’s that have put in real work in the game, which was rather refreshing. A lot of other distributors and companies tend to back more commercial artists, which may good for their marketing, but not something that I totally agree with. These are the reasons that led to me doing this interview; something I seldom do. What plans do you have for the future? I’ll be in the lab for a while, so you will have to wait and see what I come up with. Any Shout Outs? First and foremost my first shout out goes to my crew/family MUL! Thanks to 004, other than that my friends know who they are, and they don’t need me to acknowledge them in a interview. Thanks to anyone who hooked me up with a place to stay, and anyone that ever had my back. And last but not least Rest in Peace Heist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
