Grandmother of Graffiti..

2010-06-13T14:30:00.006+10:00

A few weeks back I got an interesting email from Dvate asking if I would like to partake in a memorial wall - The Grandmother of Graffiti. It was a great day of painting with writers as well as some of the Grandmother of Graffiti's relatives.

Here is some history on the Grandmother of Graffiti written by her Granddaughter Judy:

Olga Sahagian and her Husband Nubar Sahagian arrived in the U.S.A in the 1960’s settling in the Bronx. She was born in Egypt and was the youngest of 6. Olga and her brother Jairair were the only 2 to settle in the U.S.A. Olga’s other 3 brothers Derick, Paul, Gerard settled in Australia and her sister Mary settled in England.

The Bronx was a rough place in the 60’s and 70’s. Olga Sahagian was the mother of the neighbourhood. She used to cook for all the kids and make sure they were safe. It didn’t matter to Olga whether the children were hers or not. In Olga’s eyes they were all 'her children' and needed to be looked after. We had the only house on our block 2680 Morris Ave. Bronx N.Y. 10468 where kids used to play games. We used to throw jams where the kids would play the guitar and drums and everyone would gather around our house to listen to the music. As tough as our neighbourhood was it was also filled with brotherhood and family.

My grandmother used to buy the children markers and paint supplies in order to keep them safe. Little did she know that those same kids would perfect their names on canvas only to transfer them on the subways. Wildstyle, was born - Modern graffiti was born! Break dancing was everywhere and a culture was born! I was very young but I can remember great people who influenced my life and gave me the tools I needed to navigate and thrive in Kingsbridge. I remember Jimmy Ha Ha and Com161 RIP used to show me cool tricks when I was only 3 or 4
years old. Tracy168, the iconic instigator of wildstyle, was a huge figure in my life when it came to graffiti and art.

My grandmother went on to raise 3 more generations supplying that same safety and refuge that she was known and loved for. She was respected and loved by all. Olga Sahagian Passed away last year at age 79. I felt compelled to do something to honor a woman who has influenced so many lives, so I came to Australia to meet my family who my grandma spoke so much about. Since arriving in Australia I have met so many wonderful people who love my story and want to do something about it.

Therefore, this is my proposal: I have a group of wonderful graffiti writers who are willing to do a mural here in Melbourne and I have my Uncle Tracy168 who will do the same mural in The Bronx on the house we grew up in. I will document everything on both sides and build a
website where people can go to see the work of great artists in honour of a great woman.

Hama Time of CTSA slashing of a Busle panel..

Revelation Magazine - CTSA exposed.1995

2010-05-28T12:51:00.006+10:00

This article appeared in Revelation magazine issue #12 in 1995.
Transits slashing pieces and the odd panel was not really a new thing in the early to mid 90's. Before CTSA, in the 80's there was the RIO RANGERS. RIO being an acronym for Railway Investigation Officers.

Melbourne saw a huge break in the slashing of pieces along the lines up until around 2008 when a new breed of slashings took place by CTCV. CTCV was believed to be the APU (Asset Protection Unit), employed by Connex who was operator of the Melbourne train system at the time. CTCV slashing seems to have ceased at present. Maybe it was the introduction of a new operator (Metro) taking over the train system or maybe it was the spotlight of the press article that put the brakes on them.

Mist..what more can I say. His public style brought so much to the graffiti table at the time. As I lived on the line he was rocking, I would always look forward to seeing his stuff run through Richmond Station while waiting for my connecting train to school.

Used to be dope to see dudes tags rocking on dirty Hitachi roof tops with these self adhesive letters. They also came in yellow with black lettering.
