  • This is a segment from the ICHABOD YME interview, full episode is available on our Patreon. / angelandzpodcast
    ICHABOD is the undisputed king of freight graffiti, go anywhere in North America & watch the lines; nearly every single time you will see an ICHABOD. This is a feat that an extremely low number of writers have achieved in the entire history of freight graffiti. ICHABOD speaks on how he achieved this level of widespread presence on the lines, how he got into graffiti, the exact number of freights he has done, deeply studying freights, how he keeps track of every freight he has done in codes, his past pyromaniac tendencies & interest in chemistry, his ideas on money, our society & more. Full episode is available on our Patreon.

    i havent had an eye for graffiti until recently, i work at a rail yard and see amazing tags, like more than expected. im not sure who these people are, and the people you have on your show and in the mags have basic styles compared to these people. what im saying is the things i see on rail cars are very abstract with their name, its hard to even read their 5-6 letter name but they have multiple layers on them even with a moniker.
