RAB CAC was a graff artist that was killing my area of Queens and the rest of the city for that matter, when I was going thru my graff phase. It was funny and special to meet him as a student when I went to Brooklyn Technical high school. Do you know how much work this dude put it when he was still in high school?

When I was in 8th grade I used to travel the entire city sneaking in tags on the last cars of the subway. The X-Men were all city and more popular to me than the comicbook from which they swiped their namesake. I kept a subway map in my bedroom with all the layups and yards marked off with pushpins. I really thought I was gonna bomb the system one day.

RAB is still on the scene but no longer writing on the subways or bombing on the streets. He is viewed as a legitimate graphic illustrator and he does shows, galleries and books. One of his gallery projects, along with a dozen or so other artists was to go in on a museum paper print of an R-42 train.

Peep the gallery here…

One day soon watch and see if the MTA doesn’t have a nostalgic day where they allow artists the chance to put up burners on their out of service railcars.
