‘Stranger Things Have Happened’
Last Friday, Metro NY recapped the graffiti drama going on with MadeULookNYC.com, Made U Look and the MTA. There’s not many new details about the case except for the discovery of part of the wholetrain.
- An eight-car R train was found covered in graffiti at 10:20 a.m. on Christmas Day at 57th Street and Seventh Avenue — where there’s an underground “lay-up” for parked trains — according to NYC Transit spokesman James Anyansi.
- Many graffiti writers use the darkness of lay-ups to paint trains and take photos after they finish their pieces.
Some graffiti writers use the brightness of subway stations to paint trains and take photos too. It’s called a backjump. You learn something new every day.
