This morning we get the sad news that Rotterdam icon Timer Badboyz Inc. has passed away. We wish his crew-members and loved ones lots of strength. Timer was a great inspiration for the entire graffiti community and a true writer who made his mark from the mid 80's until now!

Last weekend was a blast! A public walk-through is open from the street to the @centralemarkthal

This makes Dutch Graffiti Library easily accessible without big hick-ups. In the coming months we will respond to this with our activities and openings.

This fact was reinforced by a visit from @touria_meliani thanks for that!

Well organized by @boeierfgoed

Every now and then, we are surprised with a diamond from times gone by. Like this one through a sales ad of a houseboat, Amsterdam November 2, 2024 visible a Crime Time and a Shoe painted in 1986 that's still there.

Graffiti is by definition ephemeral. From the mid-eighties, there are still remnants here and there, some tags and a few vague pieces. Pieces that have been iconic for contemporary graffiti culture have hardly been preserved.

Check this out @nielsshoemeulman awesome stuff!!

DGL is considering next steps in this graffiti heritage chapter.
Slide 1 up to 7 from the houseboat ad
Slide 8 and 9 from the 1986 blackbook of Shoe CTK
Thanks for the tip @davyspo appreciated.

Until the early 1970s, NS trains ran in different color compositions. This was before the familiar yellow bananas hit the tracks. A discarded dark blue series with light blue stripes was parked at the Rietlanden yard in Amsterdam East 1989.

RANE, If you like what I say.. 1986/87

An inspiring person in those days was often a boy from the neighborhood who performed the total package, graffiti, DJing, rapping and beatboxing.

Sometimes advanced to a nationally known phenomenon or disappeared in the fog of historical stories and anecdotes.

Yesterday visit and short talk at The Tag Conference Groningen. An important platform to gain insight into what is happening in the field of heritage and graffiti. Inspiring talks, sensational research and background stories from initiators and involved from different European cities and countries.

Thanks to @kladmuur and @unlockfair for organizing and creating this conference. It is more than important to have discussion, share knowledge, inspire and meet people live.
