DSC00355.jpg NYC is a tuff place when it comes to Graffiti. The city has been bombed hard since years, so no question about the fact that the city of New York is running a strict Anti-Graffiti-campaign since years.

No doubt that it is not easy to do a Jam in the Big Apple. But eventhough we managed three times and managed it fourth time again.

New York City – the mecca, the place where Graf took its long journey across the planet. In these days things over there aint that easy anymore. The city of NY is doing a lot to keep Graf down. newyorkskyline.jpg

More walls, more space, more writers was the goal in 2006. The target: several walls among two blocks in the South Bronx. By friday night the FX-crew was buisy priming the wall so they were ready to burn at saturday.

Early in the morning many writers already been buisy working on their pieces. The 156-boys from Montreal came all the way to show up as well as many writers from NYC, Boston and Europe as well as some of the few female writers.

lot of people came along, to chill, to paint, the FX was buisy rocking a huge wall with a dope djungle-concept. All day people were painting, chatting, chilling. DSC00134.jpg
DSC00217.jpg If you hear Bronx you might think – Ghetto, and still it is kind of like that, eventhough a lot had been done to make it better. But the vibe at the jam was not ghetto at all.

It was a chilled and very constructive atmosphere. Writers been buisy until late night to a time when you are usually not supposed to hang around in the Bronx anymore.

Sunday was the day to finish the pieces and concepts and so it was done. This year no problems occured with the Vandal Squad. DSC00136.jpg
nyc06webpic2.jpg Some regular cops came along, curious why so many writers hang out there, painting, talking.So they asked for the permission, but no problem. Cope was prepared. Check out the results!

Spot is: East 173rd st./Westfarm Road Bronx.
