Legal vs. illegal

While recently more and more transportation objects get officially painted ( legal metro in rome , legal airplane by Os Gemeos ) the illegal scene is going to be more and more violent because of secondary deviation. Here is just another example - this time from Buenos Aires ( found via allcityblog ). I wonder what happens in the future. On the one hand official projects are nice, but on the other hand the stupid actions of authorities are totally counterproductive. At least legal works will be destroyed soon and legal projects won't be supported in the future. While on the end only the extremly illegal survive and painting trains is treaten as an criminal act like stealing other people properties or killing people. While it is a totally different thing...

Russian Propaganda

Because I'm not into the russian language I don't know what it means. I only heard that the painting on train is based on the picture of a demonstration in Russias far east region in Novosibirsk. Via thanx r.

New Mexican Trainism

While the mexican muralism is one of the most interesting movements in the Art world ( especially Siqueiros who used a spray gun), the mexcian train scene seems to be underdeveloped. Team Destructo from mexico city shows the opposite. Political E-to-Es and full color panels on Mexico city metros ... via all city blog

Short Message Conversation

updated 1.11.2013 I really like the first one that says "Fuck your blog - www. I m a hipster and wanna be famous . com ". Since Streetfiles went done even more train painters started their own blogs by posting action pictures and finished works. Some people ( or just one ) of the train painters scene don't like this attitude ( or it seems like ). Unfortunatly the message is anonymous ( no tag , or direct link to the author ). I really would like to interview this guy ... all pictures via

poltical train painters in dortmund

Found this one via ilovegraffitiLuckily with english subtitles. The spoken german is in bad quality. An interview in german and some more informations here Addes infos to the interview: Readers of this blog know pretty well, there are more painters that do "non"-ego paintings on trains, but most probably it will always be a small number, because writing aka graffiti is usually ego-based.
