TOP 5: GRAFFITI WEB SERIES

Because of social media platforms, artists nowadays are able to share their work with a huge international audience - not only in the form of freeze frames, but also more and more as moving pictures. This generates a whole new creative field for the artists to be discovered, and allows the viewers to take a look behind the scenes. There are many graffiti based web series to be discovered - here are our TOP 5:

UTAH & ETHER - Probation Vacation

This series by the “Bonnie & Clyde” of Graffiti is a superb graffiti travel diary. Traveling from Turkey all the way to China, Utah & Ether paint trains, meet local graffiti artists - and are always accompanied by a camera.

NEVER GROW UP - THE GRAFFITI SERIES

Focusing on berlin-based writers, this series is hosted by AGGRO.TV, a huge german hip hop label. In contrast to other series, it shows Graffiti in all possible locations - rooftops, highways, tunnels, streets, and does not only focus on train writing. The series starts in Berlin, but later takes place all around the world.

5MINUTES

This series by german website ilovegraffiti(.)de is really interesting: Because each episode is dedicated to one writer only, there is a personal touch to be found here, which differentiates it from similar graffiti-themed formats. The dense and atmospheric videos are perfect for immersing in the fast, artful and dangerous process of trainwriting.

In terms of style and production quality, this is something different: Australian based artist SOFLES and his team have created a stylish, fun and entertaining series, which not only shows the artists enormous skill and creativity in terms of graffiti, but also pleases camera and film enthusiasts and general admirers of art. Because of this, this series is recommendable for people not only with a graffiti background.
