Eddie Haskel Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 now that you mention it I can recall seeing it early on in my career. This guy has been writing it as an alias, I will mention it to him. I 'spose it doesn't really matter. it's hard when so much time has passed. And Sydney hasn't done a very good job of documenting it's history. There are plenty of photos of the wall and panel pieces from the early days onwards, but there's not much documentation of the guys that flogged the system hard with only tags and throwups, so those names get picked up over and over again when enough time has passed. And if the new user doesn't go on to do pieces that will be published online or in hardcopy (to forever be re-hashed) they too fade away for another generation to pick them up when enough time has passed. But I 'spose this is changing though, these days people post a lot of the street and train damage online so the above might not apply moving forward (if new writers do their research). These days a writer can flog it hard and never do a piece and they'll still end up being immortalised online, but for non-piecing bombers from the '80s through to the late '90s, they have to live with young guys taking on their name. Thing is, a lot of them probably don't care, they're busy with their families now. It's probably only pedantic old pricks like me that rant on about this stuff haha. SOKE would probably find this discussion amusing and he'd just be glad that someone remembered him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Haskel Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Soke Pick Swis had heaps going on. there is an old(ish) Pick Tag just near Sydenham station on the electrical boxes in the park next to the lines. I assume it's the same one....maybe not I reckon that'd be the PICK of PICK 'n' SOKE fame. There are still old SOKE 'n' PICK tags at Turrella on the old workshop next the the station, behind the mesh on the windows. I'd have to go back and check but I'm pretty sure it was SOKE 'n' PICK. I noticed it a few years back. I reckon if we looked hard enough we'd find heaps of SOKE and PICK stuff on the lines in discreet spots that never got buffed. I hope some of that stuff has survived and pops up down the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall seeing Soke and Cover pieces on the mentioned factories at Tempe. hopefully somebody has some photos that they can share. It's nice to know there was a time where every writer known or unknown was out doing their thing, before Instagram and all that shit.

I assume it's the same one....maybe not apologies for the quality, taken from a train. This is all I have of said writers unfortunately. I think that SideFX Pick fence was on the first roll of film I ever developed upon getting into graff..Was mad hyped on that Side FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatlaces Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Swis Pick Cover Soke seen old faded tags of theres around Sydenham a couple years back i do remember they having ups in the area in the mid 90's. I think you're right about the documenting of Sydney graf, There are a lot of pics from the 80's then it seems flicks from the 90's are way harder to come by especially for writers who were more bombers (Amen, Fumen, Phew DTA, Horne DTA, Help KOA, Ems One, Kopster, Fish UTB, Posk, Won, Doeism, Mudle etc etc) than piecers. Guess it makes sense cos who wanted to waste their film on a tag back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickos Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Graffiti Walk with Davey I’m Davey mac, also know as Teazer, and I’m one of Sydney’s prolific graffiti/mural artists. Join me for an hour walk around Glebe, a neighborhood I have strong affinity with, and have seen grow and change in front of my own image heavy gaze. I will take you around some of my most successful works in the area where you’ll get a chance to find out what ‘success’ even means to a graff artist. Find out what motivates me in my passion for the work, and see for yourself an ordinary man, wearing normal clothes, who actually had the courage to follow his dream. …see link on more information on this exciting experience. 1 hour 3-11 people @ $11.50 per person a real treat! http://bondigirlmeets.wordpress.com/2012/07/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hahaha, I actually booked a thing like that in Melbourne, because everyone on here was too paranoid - dude said he got hit by a bus, so he called it off. I'm not glad he got hit by a bus (I'm pretty sure he just couldn't be fucked) but it turned out a lot better to explore on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
