all you TOX haters are missing the point.TOX started bombin tubes just as security was at an all time high.maybe over 2 decades it was easier & you had more time to paint 'pieces' but these days everythings harder & its a case of get in....get up...& get out....& whats left on that train ain't always gonna be a pretty artistic picture as with say a legit ball court....but what TOX did was graff in its purest & rawest form.....
SAD most don't even know how much history was pressed into this.Over 150 well respected london kings are mentioned or seen.Best UK bombing vid since city of paranoia or steel injection.
Zonk is a king, and in terms of style he kills Tox, but in terms of pure work rate, the only guy I’ve seen in London who could compete with Tox is 10FOOT.
need some of the TU lads stories, they raged real war with the btp, STEAM TU,GANGA,DIME,RIME,CARM,ALEKS,AVEK... RIP RASE, SIR BEAU, EVIL, HELL,MANE..THE UNTOUCHABLES was a serious crew...
Plus,this notion of having to paint trains to be considered a writer is long dead,anyone thats been painting for long enough and wants to carry on realises at a certain point its just not worth it anymore,you can paint walls and tracksides for years and still receive the same punishment as doing 1 train. None of these people still paint trains
you ever seen how much painting goes on in London? And I don't mean even Damien Hirst or Tracy Emin... this lot on the vid are Serious Painters, give it a go yourself Bro, let us know how you get on!
Did he just say he was "MET"? lol - I bumped into him at a party in Shoreditch about a year ago. Looks like the same guy but a lot younger. Was with a whole crew of writers, getting rowdy, nicking paint, nicking drinks, not paying for anything - usual stuff these guys do lol. Was actually a nice bloke though, never gave me any trouble.
he ain't the best piecer but boy did he smash it on the sub and trainlines it ain't all about doing wildstyles to me its about being the most up tags as well
Yes, a lot of graffers consider Tox to be one of the kings of graf, because how much he was up. That’s the name of the game - getting up. For a lot, style comes second, it’s like a bonus, but if you’re up like Tox was, style doesn’t really matter.
