WE RIDE BY TRAIN DVD

http://www.vimeo.com/3980489

Q) What is We Ride By Train?
A) We Ride By Train is a freight culture DVD mainly focusing on the
graffiti aspect of the rails.

Q) What sets We Ride By Train apart from other DVDs?
A) We focus on showcasing an unbiased DVD. We show you exactly what
rolls where we bench, and where we live. If youve put in a good amount
of work, or if you have quality stuff, and you have rolled past my
lens you are in our DVD.I dont care if youre my best friend or worse
enemy! This film is bigger than that. We also spent a serious amount
of time filming and editing. Our personal lives went on the back
burner for these projects, to bring you nothing less than quality.

Q) What areas did you film?
A) I filmed Volume 1 almost 100% exclusively around Northern NV, it
was a tribute to the area, and what that area had to offer at the
time. Volume 2 we moved on to different places like the Bay Area, and
Northern California.

Q) Who can we expect to see in your films?
A) Writers on rolling stock from across the U.S., and Canada. Live
footage from writers such as Joins, Grief, Raer, Jeas, Kose, Searius,
Resa, Test Me, Vomit, WKT, Zee Crew, MFG, and many more.

Q) What should your audience Know about you?
A) We are friendly folks, trying to promote what freight writers do in
a different light. The editor was on massive shrooms, no joke! Also if
you are hopping off a box car we are likely to let you hitch a ride,
buy you a box of smokes, and a bottle of whiskey in exchange for some
good stories.

Q) Whens #3 dropping?
A) I have a brilliant concept in my head, which would entail
documenting travels. This wont happen anytime soon. If and when it
does it will be a completely different style then the last two. For
now we are currently working on the production side of things. Be on
the look out for Revolutionary Freight Productions, and the WRBT logo.

Q) Closing comments?
A) Yes. Thanks to all our friends who have built us from the ground
up! Day In The Lyfe, Spreading The Disease, Zombie Owl, Smart Minds,
and all the writers who have participated. Thanks to all of you
supporting our missions by buying our DVDs. Thanks to all who have
showed us love and respect. I hope we have returned the favor. Keep it
positive, and safe kids.

Saber video makes the cut

 

 

This video by Saber was chosen as a top 20 finalist in a healthcare video contest run by President Barack Obama’s people.  The video shows the artist painting an image of the american flag which is filled up with words like “pre-existing condition”, “profit over life”, and “public option.”

The selection of the video has caused quite a stir in the hater community with losing entrants overheard saying things like “Damn I wish I had some artistic talent” and “What the fuck, I hate graffiti.”

Good for you Saber, fuck the haters, hope you win.

Revok nabbed in Australia

Revok aka Jason Steven Williams was ordered to pay over $15,000 in fines and damages after going on a graffiti spree across Melbourne.  He was arrested as he tried to fly home.  His biggest mistake was tweeting his whole trip.  Posting “I’m going to paint as much as I can then get the f.. out of here,” and ”on my way to the airport… can’t get on that plane fast enough!!!” sealed the deal and landed him in the hands of the local authorities.

He also blogged pictures of his exploits on the internet.  The judge took pity on the famous artist and sentenced him to 9 months suspended for two years.

Light Paintings From Germany

271009picstory8

I was really blown away by these images created by the light artists Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza.  Using a long exposure and LED lights, the duo experimented with Light Art Performance Photography (LAPP-PRO) to create fantastic ‘light paintings’.

The team can spend months preparing for each performance, which is always recorded in a single photographic shot.

The artists credit the development of the movement to when Wöllert was once locked in a warehouse overnight with nothing but a camera and an LED light for company (we don’t know why). While keeping himself occupied, the 39-year-old realized the potential of long exposure and light performance.

“I didn’t realise I would be shut in but fortunately I had my tools. I had to wait until the next morning before I could sneak out. If it wasn’t for that then this art movement might never have started,” he said.

A Zine by Kid Anthrax

Kid Anthrax lives in the dark corners of your most drug addled memories.  He lives so you don’t have to.  There is a certain purity to using string for shoelaces.  Broken glasses are much cheaper than you think.
