Posting some old skool flicks, Cru, 1986, (Trowbridge estate) by Fina 64, ( Leroy) Blue 202, Seco, Myself, back in 86, still remember this day well, first we met up at Robbo's,.. ( not King Robbo of London, but (blue 202).. House, Leroy and Robbo where older than me, Anyway The TV was on in his house, suddenly the next thing i know there was hardcore porn on the TV!..They where doing a particle joke on me, Saying it was Channel 4's afternoon slot, lol, them days channel 4 was a new channel infamous for the sex and violence who was blighted by Mary Whitehouse consented moans, letters etc towards all channels, esp channel 4, as they used to show more edgy  programs. Harmless stuff really compared to TV these days,

Mary Whitehouse

She was a silly old busy body,& religious bigot that was famous for her views on British TV..she'd be turning in her grave with the TV now, lol..
Anyway ofcause the porn was from a VCR, but they had me going for a sec, though, I was young and Naive. Anyway the was done in carplan paint, nasty shit compared to today, full of lead and chemicals, smell was overpowering too, the caps esp when they changed them to a male valve system, was terrible. though we did'nt no any different them days.
the style of these letters very minimal was so fresh back then, Leroy did the outline on some clothing too, was really ground breaking, style wise back then imo ofcause.... 
 Jazeo ( Fina) Blue 202, 1985/ early 86.. Trowbride
 Maeo, Trowbridge, 1989. Mao and Myself.
 Take one, Jodie, 1985-6
 Mao, Rak1, Mabe ( myself)
 AAD- Trowbridge 1988.
 Coma, 1988, trackside where the bridge goes across the mainline near central station
 CDT, (Community drug team) 1990's this was all dupi-colour, Mao, myself.
 Pissed up CSC 1990s, done one night after they made this box illegal to paint on, (Criminal Saints Crew) Myself and Mao,- St.Mellons estate.
 Maoh-Eaze, 1988, This was done at night..
Ghost fina blockbuster, 1985, with small stencils on top my Mao, we where using stencils back in the 80's, as where many writers across the uk.
It wasn't new to Graff, like some think..
I had to draw a blue line on top with photoshop, just think i should of left it now, it was a very early silver, in fact one of the first in Cardiff to my knowledge, though splott had writers/crews, and Ron was writing too, up Pontyridd/Valleys,...
To my knowledge, St.Mellons had the first Graff in the City, going back to 84, it had a healthy B.boy, DJ scene too.
DJ.Jaffa was a BBoy first then DJ. A lot of the old skool hip hop heads in the city whom are active or retired where from St.Mellons or used to hang around St.Mellons and Trowbridge Estate's back in the day!
I don't mean to come across arrogant though saying this but it was a healthy scene at this part of the city with many heads from and involved in the hip hop movement that time from here....

peace for now..
