- A 10 minute Documentary on the world of Graffiti, featuring an interview with Billy, the owner of the most notorious Graffiti store in London and Stak, an up and coming artist looking to make it big in the Graffiti game.
Sponsored by Enigma Clothing - www.enigma-clothing.com
When beginning this project we wanted to delve into the world of Graffiti and try and learn more about the subject, why people do it, what they get out of it, and how it has progressed through the years. We belive this short insight into these artist's world gives some indication of why they do it and why they're driven to continue painting each week.
We very much enjoyed the filming process on this particular project as we got to explore London's most famous Graffiti spots, and had the chance to meet Billy and film a very insightful 40 minute long interview with him.

"If your not in it you miss it" classic quote.
YOU'RE.
If you're going to represent yourself, do it with some pride.
the guy running the shop is an absoloute legend ,couldnt agree more with what he was saying
His shop is amazing! The best in London!
Dare I say best in the UK 👀
Everything about this video is amazing
Great documentary. London Colours is arguably the best thing that came out from VIP.
The cinematography in the beginning particularly was amazing
Billy is a good man. Good job guys!
Was just about to say big up Billy, what a cool gent
I coming from the US tomorrow and I love Graffiti .... can't wait to add some UK art to my collection!
Awesome! Glad we could sponsor such a creative and interesting project!
What a totally cool dude Billy is and his positive open minded attitude to graff in general as he's got to I dare say know many of his customers and see their work.
He's spot on with what he said about graff and those who do it so often being misunderstood. As he pointed out too 'if you ain't in it then you don't know about it'.
I mean your average joe public member wouldn't be aware of how much London Underground tubes are still regularly getting bombed and hit but the majority don't get put into service and it's a pretty rare sight but it still happens a fair bit but its usually captured more on Instagram and other social media platforms and stays on there long after the cleaners have blasted it away with their pressure washers.
You only have to keep a close watch on all the metal undersides just above the wheels on many District and Central line tubes I've noticed. The regular tell tale signs are always there on virtually every other tube that passes through on my daily commute to work as I pass through West Ham... Remnants of multi colour,bright silver chrome or a few tags including 'DDS' (been going for over 30 years now) still or little tributes to Robbo WRH I've spotted in recent times paying homage and respect to one of Londons deceased train bombin 80's legends and pioneers
Still helluva lot of trains and tubes being done believe even if it probably isn't noticed so much by the public though the good news recently for any potential train writers is that LU are having financial issues which could affect their ability to keep on top of train maintenance which could including the cleaning up of graffiti.
Regardless I really don't think they'll ever completely stop it no matter how much security,surveillance technologies/cctv,high steel fencing etc and other obstacles put in their way writers always adapt,paint quicker,paint in shorter time scale periods if need be or whatever even if it dramatically affects the quality of whats painted on a train or how detailed it is.
Writers always seem to be one step ahead and the increased and tighter security measures only adds to the buzz and determination to hit those trains still and getting away with it.
Any hardcore train writer will usually tell you that 'legal' walls (as good as they are with some beautiful productions and art work) will always be missing a huge special something that only train writers/vandals will ever know.
There's a certain thrill and adrenelin rush combined with danger and risk that you could never capture with 'legal' wall spaces.
Really good interview. Good documentary! I liked to see it!
SMOE NOVA dich findet man ja überall..-judaz😂😂
Great video!
dope little doco. loved it
Graffiti is vandalism, first and foremost. Yes, it's artful vandalism but bottom line is its vandalism and thats what makes it amazing. Its an art form reserved only for the bold and/ or the crazy.
Hail Satan!
Great shop, have been there personally, a few weeks after Falco(Cape Town) painted at the shop...
It’s Falko! with a K
great vid, great people, great music
spitting factsss
Billy with the post credit scene. hahaha
Sweet video. I happen to see a ton of work filming my ghost hunts and explorations because graffiti is displayed in abandon places out here in California.
never heard of that stak guy. and if he has been hitting trains and getting up he would have asked for his face to be blurred. you should interviewed a real london writer not some poser who paints at leake street lol
nokie truss
Nokia ... No train writer worth his salt would be in a vid with out a face rag or distorted voice
Stay busy...
I really liked this! The work was amazing!
love what he said at 7:14
Learn the difference between Graffiti and street art.

I'm trying to make a comic in graffiti style, and I'm not quite sure where to start. I really wanna do the style justice, but I'm having trouble applying that to character design, and I'm not quite sure what materials to use. Are there any experts here who may be able to help?
Any updates?
this is more street art than it is graffiti
GRAFF AND STREET ART AIN'T THE SAME!
