2014 has shown that graf artists in NYC have still not given up on bombing the system

This past weekend, fortunate graf enthusiasts in Brooklyn had the opportunity to see something that hasn’t been seen on NYC subway trains since the mid 80s; trains with graffiti.

An Instagram user named @halopigg took photos of a bombed up M train pulling into the Myrtle Broadway train station. @halopigg wrote the following:

I was on my way home from Manhattan late Friday night around 2AM and I had to transfer from the J to the M at Myrtle-Broadway. As I was standing on the platform, the M shuttle rolled in and I could immediately smell the aerosol. I looked down and there were a handful of fresh pieces over two cars. I’ve since found out through Instagram research that I caught pictures of only a few of the six total pieces. I had an extra minute or two to snap pics because the train was at the last stop, wish I could have grabbed more.

The pieces are those of writers LUPY, BOAT, and B36, which is short for “BETA 36″, a graf crew based in Italy.

Below are the pics taken by @halopigg. As the image says, “MTA YOU ARE SLACKEN[SIC]!
