Jack Stewart mentions this in his dissertation, not the graffiti kings book which has just a fraction of the text. also that at one point in the mid 70s, IN had a throw up on every car in the system - both sides of every car on every line in every division - at least 10k throw ups running at once. noone did that before or since. if this is true, i would imagine that record could only be held for a couple of days at best as im sure a lot of them were lost quickly due to the buff and other ppl painting over them. eternal props to TOP crew for making the throw up what it is today.

[bemflix]

good point Zed but i think Iz The Wiz RIP might have him just on longevity. I envision Iz must have done hundreds of thousands of throwie in his long train writing career.

 

TOP did start some shit didn't they.

BIG UPS to TOP fo sure fo sure

[Zed_Eastwood]

with all due respect to IN and the TOP crew, in my mind there iz no doubt on the longevity and sheer volume tip, IZ takes it - then and now. to date - whether its freights, walls, subways in europe, whatever, IZ wrote his name on more trains than anyone for longer than anyone. he is THE legend, and all time king. maybe thats just my opinion but i would find it hard to believe anyone in the history of graffiti did as much damage as he did! if you just skim through that nycsubway.org site, IZ appears more than anyone else combined.

if you just skim through that nycsubway.org site, IZ appears more than anyone else combined.

 

That is the truth!!! I have caught a few IN and Kill3 flicks on there but not that many and there are a lot of 70's pics on that site. Hell I think there are even more Vinny pics on there then IN flicks. As far as I know IN really only wrote for 2 years but he killed it those 2 years, just imagine if he had kept going...

 

As far as IZ goes... He told me there was one year, I think from somewhere in 81 into 82, that he did "at least" 100 throw ups every night for an entire year.... Now you do the math on that!! Even if he only really did half that (which I would totally believe) it's still a shit load of throw ups!! And that is not including all the panel pieces and whole cars he did in that time span as well, not to mention the insides he rocked too!! And if that is not amazing enough to think about, think about the fact he had to get the supplies to do all of that damage!!! Iz the Wiz was pure and simply a graffiti machine. Maybe that's why one of his favorite songs was Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine", LOL!!! One thing's for sure... He is missed!!! :o

I always liked this one... A little trivia about this car for ya... This is the car going through the buff in Style Wars when they show a close up of the spray hitting the train... At that moment the "whole lotta love" in the bottom of the W is what's going through the buff... :D

^NCIS is the shit!

[Droolo]

there are even more Vinny pics on there then IN flicks.

 

No doubt about that, VINNY was definitely an all-city king. Years before I even got into the writing culture, my mom would take me on the 7's in Queens, as well as driving thru the Bronx within view of some of the various elevateds, and VINNY was always there. His swirling yet readable letters were always completely recognizable to a youngster like myself, and his colors were often bright and appealing. Later, in 1978, when I was finally introduced to what was going on, VINNY, along with IZ, were considered the 2 kings. Even beyond that, around 1980, VINNY made yet another comeback, and his trademark style was once again being seen rolling throughout the city.

that DONDI piece is a tribute right?

I don't know if this was posted in here, but i find it interesting to say the least. A friend of mine sent me this. The infamous "Son Of Sam" aka David Berkowitz was friends with Cane 1, and wrote about him in his journal.
