Series of photos of Seen at work. The photos were taken by Sally Prisco, a professional photographer and also manager of the Tattoo Seen studio.

@classicseen and @sallypriscophotography had brought the framed and signed photos with them from New York to the Netherlands during their visit in 2003. After their stay in Amsterdam, the photos left behind on Dutch soil.

Now they are part of the Dutch Graffiti Library collection.

LHC DAYS DSK AUDY. Original vintage photos from the early 1990s, taken in the morning when the birds are chirping and the sun is starting to shine.

In the late 80s and early 90s, the LHC and DSK crew did many iconic trains and subways. They played a big role in upgrading the quality level of burning steel in NL.

In the competitive graffiti culture, the title king and the symbolism of the crown are forgiven for those who fulfill all aspects and disciplines. Appointed by others through unwritten laws and rules and emphasized by writers themselves.

Happy King's Day!

Today visit opening Art Court in Roel Langerak Park Rotterdam. A new 3×3 basketball park whose court is designed by Hong Kong artist XEME.

The Art Court was initiated by Hiphop In Je Smoel, BuurtLAB and basketball community Concrete Lions. The end result is not only a nice designed 3×3 basketball park, but also a valuable addition to the neighborhood. It offers young people and adults an exciting way to play sports, socialize and a creative space that combines art and sports.

Graffiti at legendary spots or places with a story often have added value because people link personal memories to these once. One of those super cool spots in the mid-90s was the backyard of hip-hop café De Duivel in Amsterdam.

In 2003, Seen had an exhibition at gallery STIP in Amsterdam De Pijp. For the exhibition, he created a silkscreen print entitled "What makes a subway car run?" The print was produced in an edition of 100 copies on aluminum as a reference to the original New York subways. The exhibition and prints were an initiative of Henk Schiffmacher in collab with Almar S.

At the opening of the exhibition, Seen signed many blackbooks and objects, including some Nokia phones that were very popular at the time. The car from writer SURE GVB also drove through the streets of Amsterdam from that day with an original Seen UA tag on the front .... photo by Dutch Graffiti Library

Today 1 year ago we won a pitch in the @centralemarkthal which allows us to get one step closer to our dream…

A physical location where we can show and experience the history of (Dutch) graffiti culture and next to that an environment that offers opportunities to the current underground and its exponents.

A place where the permanent exhibition will consist of objects and stories from the Dutch Graffiti Library's collection. Because we are convinced that our collection adds great value to historical knowledge sharing, inspire and can create a cultural experience that does not yet exist.

There is still a way to go, but we are working toward our ultimate goal:

Museum About Graffiti Culture
Expected opening summer 2023

DIAMONDS – Moving Cathedrals
– – –
The Berlin based DIAMONDS crew is a collective of writers who made a name for themselves by traditional stylewriting careers. When the group formed in the late 2000s each member brought in ideas and practices which went far beyond usual writing.

Moving Cathedrals mainly consists of traffic shots from the painted S-Bahn cars, which sometimes have been in traffic for days or only a few hours.

Besides the unique content the book comes with beautiful details like an debossed hardcover, oversize format and two different kinds of paper. A true gem and must have!

Original button campaign Vernielen is geen "KUNST" (Destroying is not "art"). At the beginning of the 1980s there was a lot of vandalism on public transport in Rotterdam. Therefore, in 1984 the campaign Vernielen is geen "KUNST" is started by the RET. In the anti-vandal center, young people are made aware of the consequences of vandalism.
