Wall Writers, by Feral Things on Feb 4, 2016 18:57:25 GMT 1, Roger Gastman, who produced ETTGS and curated Art In The Streets, is releasing a film called 'Wall Writers'. The film covers the period between the birth of graffiti in Philadelphia in the late 1960s and the first graffiti painting being sold in New York in 1973; hence the film's subtitle, 'Graffiti In Its Innocence'. Given the individuals who are involved with this project I think it's got the potential to be something quite special. The film features interviews with Cornbread (the first writer), Taki183 (the first to go all-city), Coco144 (the first writer to use a stencil) and loads of other significant figures like Jon Naar. There are screenings coming up in Long Beach, San Francisco and at The Smithsonian, some of which will also have writers like Taki183 in attendance:
There is also a book being released to accompany the film featuring interviews with pioneers like Cornbread. The book has a foreword by Barry McGee and it is hardbound, 10โx12โ, 350+ pages, 800+ images and includes two inserts:

Wall Writers, by Black Apple Art on Jun 24, 2016 20:20:46 GMT 1, Went the the premier last night and I have to say it was great. Very well done and was amazing to see the history of the first writers starting back in the early 60s. Highly recommended.
