Theory: Who are some of the old skool people that you used to go out with and do you still keep in contact with any of them?

Zephyr: Yes. I still hang with my graff partner from the old days, REVOLT. We’ve been painting together for over twenty years. A lot of old New York writers are still active..IZ, SEEN, BLADE and many others.

The word derives from the Latin word graffito meaning a scribbling or etching on a flat surface. In ancient Rome, critical commentaries were written on public walls so others may become aware of their protests. Flash forward 2000 years … where the concept of graffiti has now taken on (depending on the public POV) several different interpretations.

LC: What do you think of the new generations of artists that use stencils and stickers instead of spraycans?

SEEN: I think that’s just another form of getting your name or your subject up where people get to see it. Graffiti, as we know from the spray can days, is basically about getting your name up and people getting to see it. Like they scratch the windows now, it’s just another form of, way of doing it, the cave men had hammers and chisels, rocks and chisels, like engraving. It’s good because it shows different directions, different paths down the road, it shows their not just trying to do the same thing as the spraycan days, but it is the same.
