THE PUSHERS
The pushers The crew has been ideated by Enok4 and me a little more than one year ago, with the intent of combining our friendship with the passion for writing. We’ve spent several years drawing and hangin out, thus the feeling of chilling and well-being that we felt whenever we were togetherlittle by little led us form a crew... it’s kinda the same thing as hanging out with a chick and then one day you realize that you’re actually “together” because you’ve got stuck and have become“ addicted” to her. The PUSHERS is formed by: BLEF - ENOK4- ORGH - IMEN- Mr.POLLO. Since we don’t live in the same city, in order to paint walls, we usually catch one another all over italy, or sometimes, we decide to organise a meeting in a strategic point. Basically, I am inspired by the past, by that feeling that I had at the end of a jam, by the flow that I could breathe during my travels. It’s only thanks to that past that I can see my future in this context. We don’t have rules in the crew, we’re a group of people linked together by a common passion and, most of all, by the respect for each other.

BROS
bros Hi I’m Daniele Nicolosi and I “paint” where I could’nt since 20 years. WHAT IS YOUR FIRST MEMORY ABOUT WRITING? I was a young boy and I went painting on a factory walls with a friend of mine. After done a graffito (a very bad bad copy of the ones I saw on the trains) I realize that my motor scooter had been stolen..ahahaha. HOW COME YOU DECIDED TO SET ASIDE LETTERING AND DEDICATE MORE TIME TO BOMBING? If you like painting on the walls in milan you have to bombing. First I wrote my name, then I proceed to draw some characters formed by geometric forms.... at the end I abandoned lettering. While I was painting in the night a lot of people passing through just called me “hi bros!”.....so I understood there was no need to write my name, no more... TELL US ABOUT YOUR EVOLUTION I’ve always painted. When I was a child I spend all my day drawing. Then at scholl, I was about 12, I met a boy who painted graffiti, and so I started.... when I moved in milan, I painted
everywhere...in every single street there was a paint of mine...I travelled a lot, I met a lot of people, and my paintings have changed. I’ve tested a lot of new tecniques. Today my works are based on the place. It’s like there’s just one kind of work for that specific place. the ancient called this genius loci. HOW BORN YOUR WORKS? It depends. some of the most significant are born from a laugh with friends and then took the form of a reflection more polished. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT GRAFFITI INSIDE THE ART FIELD? That those are not graffiti. We still don’t have a word to define that phenomenon. Some call it post graffitismo, some others wall drawings. In my opinions these words are not enough to explain. We are in this phase, so its difficult to explain what it’s happening.
ARE YOU INSPIRED FROM SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR? From da vinci to haring, from egyptian to Berry Mcgee. YOU THINK THAT ONE DAY GRAFFITY COULD BE ACCEPTED BY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY? That’s already happened! I’m on newspapers, bags, diaries. It’s something already accepted, not so well accepted instead the process of realization...the fact that “somebody has to write on my own wall” but this is the most cool aspect. If will be possible to make graffiti everywhere without problems....maybe it will be not so fun anymore.... YOU FEEL TO BE MORE WRITER OR ARTIST? Painter. FUTURE PLANS? I’ll create something in naples, because the ostile’s team invited me after reading this special! :)

DON LUCAS MOON
Luca moon I’ve been making graffiti for about, or maybe more than ten years. At the beginning I used sprays, but then, as the time passed, I realized that you can actually “create” also through other means (that can, of course, dirty surfaces). The “biancone” (which is a paint for walls, washable or not, normally used as a base for graffiti) has always been of a great help to me especially to draw huge tags, and also to differentiate myself from the other writers that didn’t use it much then. All my crew (BSNINC) often organized real expeditions in order to get it from some construction site or even from the garbage. The surfaces that I usually prefer are walls with a high visual impact like the ones on the sides of motorways and railways. Anyway, I believe that the graffiti scene has changed by now, and has lost that intrinsic subversive significate of what once graffiti were. Nevertheless, I believe that this is not entirely negative, as it is all part of an evolving process.
