In some places graffiti look fucking stupid […] as soon as I am in the country side or somewhere in the South of France I am not even thinking about spray cans you know? It’s just totally ridiculous. And even when you are going to do it, you take a picture, you can publish in on a magazine so the kids in the city will see the magazine and they will see the piece. So it is bringing back to the city again. So, it’s all about the city. And if you are not doing graffiti or you feel offended by it and you are living in the city...I am like ‘c’mon, you want all the stuf f that is going on in the city, you want the heart beats, you want this, you want that...’[…] It’s a city culture, so I feel like when you are living in the city you have to take into account that your kids they are going to get bored with the surrounding, so they want to kick against something and eventually they are going to take a spray can and go out, understand that that culture exists and they are going to write on the walls. Some people have always been writing on walls. Why wouldn’t I do it now ? – Raw

To the old schools

I think that certain things go together. If you look at the buildings for example, there are some paintings . It’s a bit messy, some stickers. I kind of like this dirty. There is a soul. It shows that people live there - Edge

Some trains are kind of worth more. When writers meet they talk about different trains and different train yards where they’ve been. When you meet a new writer, you always have some places or trains to identify with and talk around. Local trains are generally more worth painting. For example the old Dutch banana train (the yellow one floor train called ‘doggie’), the Spanish ‘mirror trains’, Berlin’s yellow subway, Southern Sweden’s purple trains or Danish’s old red S-train. People used to go to Copenhagen just to paint that one - Aso

This piece that we are looking right now is mine. The property is not mine, but it is mine. There is my name wr itten there. It belongs to me. Once I paint on it, it becomes a part of myself. If I have 100 pieces around, it’s cool – Renok
