Review: The DON-1 book is here! - Nicely done book focusing on the graffiti art of DON-1 from Queens. Queens subway writers get their props! Interesting photos and one of the best books on subway art that has been newly released.
Review: This style master was a major influence and inspiration to many great writers. Queens writers - This is a long overdue work, in fact KR-1 had been working on this for years. The result is an incredibly detailed story of one of graffitis most unsung masters; DON-1. This style master was a major influence and inspiration to many great writers. Queens writers, and BMT's in general are so overshadowed by the Bronx, and Manhattan,,,finally DON-1 gets his just props here. KR-1 tells DON's story in raw detail, and brings to life those golden days of writing on the BMT's in the mid 70's. A time when many greats were regularly hitting the RR, N, J, LL, and M lines..great writers like DEAN(KO), GEAR-1, JESTER-1(DY-167), DIME-139, KB, and others. DON-1 in just a brief couple of years executed some of the most highly developed early burners, influencing many during this period. BY the time we(RTW) began hitting the BMT's(primarily the RR), this was 1977, DON-1 had already gone into an early retirement. I was in awe of his works on the RR, and LL trains. This book is written very well, and holds you all the way through...telling the true history as it was. DON-1, President of M.A.F.I.A. made his mark, and was truly one of the early stylists..doing stuff in the mid 70's that was so far ahead of its time. Myself, ZEPHYR, MIN-1, REVOLT, and all of RTW were inspired by the DON!. This book is 101% RTW approved!!!,,,,BILROCK-161(SAGE), President/Founder of RTW.
