Under the Freeway

under the freeway, alongside the tracks: san francisco

it was freezing under there, in the shadow of the I-280 North overpass. despite the sun & blue skies, the wind blew hard & cold along the train tracks. i heard a noise & turned. three young guys in hoodies were coming in to the underneath from seventh street--& one of them was heading straight for me. he said something, but a semi passing overhead drowned him out. he said it again. "do you write?" a look of complete incomprehension must have crossed my face. "do you paint," he clarified, with a hint of exasperation. "uh, no. i'm just taking pictures...."

the youth gestured up the tracks, to a spot away from the view of surface roads, where the tracks met a hill and continued on through a tunnel. "there's a lot of cool shit up there. go check it out. you'll like it." "thanks," i replied. i trudged along the tracks towards this supposed treasure trove of grafitti art, knowing that he was really just trying to ensure that i wouldn't follow his crew to their painting site.

but i wasn't upset for long, because he didn't lie. there were wonderous works & spellbinding sights ahead, under the overpass, hidden away where only the CalTrain commuters & homeless wanderers would see them. (more pics soon)

Peter: 8th May 2002 - 00:33 GMT

Peter: 8th May 2002 - 00:34 GMT

also: i have made that third pic my computer wallpaper. NICE.

moebius rex: 8th May 2002 - 00:56 GMT

more pics on the way...i took over 100 of 'em that day. this is just the first batch. and if you liked that 3rd one, there's a "mate" to it also--same style.

Peter: 8th May 2002 - 01:34 GMT

more! more! i looked on your s5 page and saw a bonus pic ;)

Peter: i love graffiti shots, btw.

amazonia: Nice job the BART looks rockin

trouble: s5 page? bonus shot? where?

moebius rex: 8th May 2002 - 18:51 GMT

aww. you guys figure out all my secrets! :D
bonus shot is here. i was gonna include it but i didn't want to overwhelm everyone. i was saving it for next time.

Peter: please, OVERWHELM US!

kini: these are awesome!

Jamie: 18th May 2002 - 20:58 GMT

Dudes i LOVE all this Graff shit. These pics especially are AWEs0me!

karma: 18th May 2002 - 21:02 GMT

i love how this site is slowly but surely becoming a repository of alot of graffiti shots. thats agood thing.

citynoise indeed. what could be more of a fetish for urban/art lovers than graffiti?!

egenus: 28th May 2002 - 18:40 GMT

That is some phat graffiti. People around here are no where near as creative. We just get the ironic "Jesus Loves You" vandalism.

jemani: 10th Jan 2003 - 15:26 GMT

i'm loving these. i especially like the first two. that's ill.

ultrarez: fuck, this shit is DOPE

Gaz: 13th Jan 2003 - 17:42 GMT

In Peterborough you might be lucky enough to find some 12year old kid has scribbled his initials followed by an expletive of choice – Nothing as exquisite as this!

Peter: 13th Jan 2003 - 20:04 GMT

how about showing us some of what peterboro has to offer?

also: since my name is peter, post a photo of some sign that says "peterboro" on it, so i can hack the photo for personal use :)

Gaz: 13th Jan 2003 - 21:36 GMT

Okey dokes, when I get the time to get down to the CC, after forthcoming ex*ms. A maths exam on my 18th - how crap is that? Then another the day after!

Jamie: 14th Jan 2003 - 19:09 GMT

Plus ima head out to document the graff under bourges boulevard whenever i get some spare time. expect some dope ass shit

moebius rex: 14th Jan 2003 - 20:51 GMT


you know, i've been meaning to mention that i've tracked down some info on the graf writer behind pic #3 (and pic #4 here). his name is Thesis, and according to what i've dug up on the Net, he calls London, Ontario home. his artwork has turned up on albums and t-shirts for Alias, an underground rapper from the Anticon posse.

moebius rex: 14th Jan 2003 - 21:03 GMT

more on thesis' career as a rap artist.

Peter: wow, moe, thanks for the info!

Juli Sabastian: Amazing pictures

watcher: 13th Mar 2005 - 18:37 GMT

holy shit, london ontario is my home town. it's small, but covered in graffiti.

jeeff: ah shit, that above is me.

oscar: 24th Sep 2005 - 00:30 GMT
