  • 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.
