Yesterday I had the great pleasure of painting with Jaze who was one of the first writers in Dundee who began painting in about 83/84.I remember copying some of his & the other older writers stuff from the walls into my school jotter around 86 or so.
Jaze got into a bit of bother with the old painting in 86 and quit graff to join the army. This was his first piece in 23 years. Unfortunately it was raining but never the less it was brilliant to paint with him. All his references etc are totally non graff & pre hip hop. He couldn’t quite believe we were able to paint in broad daylight & that we didn’t have to wait for some of the colours to dry to put a second coat on on!
Probably the best day I have ever had painting.
