I recently saw this movie called Vigilante from 1983...this movie was primarily filmed in Greenpoint and has lots of vintage neighborhood graffiti in it, (mainly the TKC crew). Capitalizing on the Bronson/Deathwish movies this is like a poor man version of Deathwish 1, but is worth the watch if you like seeing old footage of NY/BK in particular. Veteran B movie stars Robert Forster and Fred Williamson keep it moving blasting at fools and administering beatdowns with their boys at a steady pace...These are stills from a scene were Fred Williamson is chasing a drug dealer through the upper decks of the pool in Macarren park. PG comes off right in the middle of the action, even a couple of Deak tags as well.
Classic shit…

Some random photos of my latest trip to SF…
Classic
Affordable housing
Cameras role as police walk the beat in the T.L.
Maybe one of the freshest public transportation logos ever.
Between the half ass buff job and all the purple garvey ink I was having flashbacks…

I was traveling through Greenpoint this weekend and saw that the old chocolate factory had finally been leveled and was now just an empty lot of rubble. As I passed by I remembered all the long summer days, spent painting there in the mid/late 90’s and all the people who painted there… PG, (RIP), Revs, DG, Siko, (RIP), Peak/Diva just to name a few.....there are lots more. It was a good time while it lasted...I will post more pictures of the chocolate factory as I find them…
make way for more luxury condos...woo hoo.
...was still using Rusto and Kylon then....peep the Lords of BK t-shirt.
beef and broc tim’s too...96 style.

This last photo is part of a Dean Byb piece, (circa 1975), that has since been covered with ads but is technically still there.

If found, (in SF) the work can be dropped off at the gallery which is located at 835 Larkin street in San Francisco - REWARD OFFERED, no questions asked.
Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated.
