Quick interview with ZEM i2i, proformed by me, Marlboro man.

First and Foremost, What do you write and what crews do you affiliate yourself with?

I'm Zem im in a bunch of crews.

 

i2i is a very old Philadelphia crew, enlisting some of Philadelphia’s finest. Can you shed some light on the history of the crew; who started it and from what section of the city you were coming from?

met gave me and ready the squad.but its a older crew going back to the 80's

 

Who where your influences growing up? Who did you see up the most?

Razz law1 ohze proper am and ab kair sat and praez

 

Philadelphia can be a pretty wild place, any good chase/action stories?

tons,in 99 step and i where routing whyoming ave. and got shot at then chased by d.t.;s cause they thought we were doin the shooting.

 

Have you ever painted outside of the U.S.? How does it compare to getting up in the U.S.?

I painted in Prague Czech rep. they had a good scene there. taipei is also got a good scene goinbut its almost all kids from the states.none the less taipei was super fun.

 

What’s your favorite spot that you’ve hit? Or place to go paint?

Transit any city

 

Do you have a preferred paint brand/caps or markers you like to use?

the kind i push out in a shopping cart

 

What’s your preferred surface to paint (concrete, brick, steel…)?

paint lloks great on glass and of course steel.

 

It’s the 21st century, there’s an easy accessibility to high quality European paint, pre-made markers and inks, caps, magazines, videos etc. How do you feel about that?

i like euro paint most of its good quality.caps,idont think i ever payed for caps you just gotta know where to look.and i have some train videos.

 

This brings me to the big one, graffiti on the internet: good/bad, both?

(I mean as far as this interview goes, seems the internet and graff work together)

neccecery evil

 

How do you feel about the state of graffiti in Philadelphia in 2010? Personally I see a throw back in kids just wanting to tag, and bring the oldest Philadelphia tradition back. To me it’s almost to the point where kids who do fill-ins and pieces could be callin’ them “new Yorkers” – referrin’ to style. Is high level painting missing in Philadelphia?

see we are lucky.we have the orange line tunnels.you can still film and see tags from the 60's no other city has that,nyc has old tags too.but i feel like they where down there painting trains.philly we just figured its another route to walk,just below ground.

 

Who have you seen putting in work in Philadelphia in the 21st century?

ohze is relentless,kid,screw,curve,a few others

 

Is graffiti something you see yourself doing forever, 75 catchin’ that comeback slam with futuristic laser paint? Or something you can put away, forever?

i'll always be into graff,active or not.

If you could paint any spot without getting bagged, where would it be?

ready and i already hit it the back of the billboard comin over the bridge.

or maybe the entire entrance and exit to the 5th st, tunnnel

 

What currently active writer’s work (the world over) are you feelin’ right now?

horfe from paris,optimist,rime,jurne,a few more

 

Anything you wanna say to the toys reading this thinking about getting started doin’ graffiti?

dont

Shout outs?

im more the silent type
