What’s this Constructive Destruction ive been hearing about?
Constructive Destruction is a graff DVD…I bench a lot of fr8s…I try and film/flick as much graffiti as possible and get it out there through the DVD’s/myspace/Flickr ect.

How many DVDs have you dropped?
I have released 2 so far…. Volume 1 dropped a few years ago…. Volume 2 dropped in Feb. 2008.

Anything in the works?
Yeah…We are actually in the process of making a Volume 3…should be out sometime mid 2010…I am always trying to bench as much as possible and get those flix posted up for everybody also.

What do the CD films offer the audience?
Well…I try and keep it interesting with the footage and music…try and feature as many people as possible and have a little bit of something for everybody…. I feel my DVD’s are a bit different than what’s out there as far as graff DVD’s go…I try and switch it up with the music…. feature everything from hip hop to metal…feature some people that haven’t been out in every other DVD… got sick of seeing boring videos with the same people/footage over shitty beats.

Any interesting events or stories taken place during the filming/benching?
Everything’s gone pretty well while filming…always nice getting new footage and filming new people…benching is always good times…I do most of my benching with my homie that makes Southern Pacific Forever…always nice getting out with him and doing some quality benching.

On the benching tip it seems you are one of the most dedicated I have encountered. Your Flickr page is pushing 13,000 pictures! How often do you bench? (Check his flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/constructivexdestruction/
Not as much as I would like (I wish I could just stay at the yard most of the time) but I do try and get out at least a few times a month and get some benching in.we are pretty lucky out here and live near a huge yard so on a good day I can take a few hundred pictures.

So being on the rails this much you must have a personal opinion. Who are your favorite freight writers, and why? Who do you see the most of?
Wow…favorites…. well there’s too many to name honestly so ill probably forget a few but my favorite fr8 guys would probably have to be Much, Cameo, Kaput, Spel, Diet, Jase, Ghouls, Worm…actually any A2M stuff….King157, Myth, Heat…. there are so many…. I like a lot of stuff Isto is doing…. Huge has been bangin out some of the best fr8s rollin’ lately…Hot Carl has really been putting it down and I feel is putting out some of the best fr8 stuff out there…. Its always nice to see an old Push/Phable or Mber/Jbue…. as far as most up that I see on fr8s recently I would have to say hands down Kerse and Whistle Blower…. Ryoe and Owie had a lot rolling through here recently….Size21, Jenos have a decent amount and always Ichabod.

Who’s in these films?
Volume 1 features Hot Carl, Searius, Swype, Aebl, and Shark to name a few…lots of benching footage…. as far as Volume 2 your looking at writers like Ower, Lorpo, Show2, Tubs, Kres, Sinek, Guilt (RIP), Token, Strike, Siar, Limoe, Ciao, Sworn, Bobkat, Cons, and Joins…there is a bit more variety in Volume 2…. a lot of the footage was received through submissions so there is a variety of stuff from around the country.

Where do you get this footage?
We honestly get a lot through submissions…I really try and film as much of my own footage as possible but with a full time job and a life besides graffiti I can’t get out as much as I would like to but it’s nice to have some variety and get stuff from places I will probably never visit…plus submissions reward the people that are not lazy and take their time to get their stuff out there… most graff dudes are lazy pieces of shit… no offence… hahah

What motivated you to create these?
Haha…Volume 1 was just supposed to be for my friends…my homie Stel was making these videos called “Babes, Boxcars and Broken Dreams” which were pretty much rolling freight footage over hardcore porno…they are great…I thought I might throw a video together for just my homies…it got passed around and everybody seemed to like it so I just printed a hundred copies and started selling through myspace and they really took off…. I actually sold them much pretty fast and printed a few hundred more and finally ran out…If you want a copy check out Bombing Science…I think they are the only ones that have any left.

Where do you plan on taking this?
Just keep making videos and to make a better video each time…Volume 1 was never really supposed to happen…When I made Volume 2 I really put a lot more work into it and just wait for Volume 3…Volume 3 will be the best yet…. keep an eye out…mid 2010.

Any other info?

Not really…Just show some support and buy a DVD…I spend a lot of time taking pictures and posting them on Flickr and I let people take the full size image…I take the time to tag each image and shit…. I love when people find flix of their stuff and they didn’t have flix before or forgot they had even painted that train or whatever…I kinda see it as benching karma also but yah…If you take my flix off Flickr at least show some love and buy a DVD!
