Watched this as a youngin getting in the graff game. Very inspiring. I always wondered why he said the scene and culture and politics were wack. Now I know. Real shit. Still an awesome video
Im from san bernardino and I remember spotting trains passing by that said atlas and lts and cbs. And like watching this video gave me like deja vu cuz I grew up seeing this dudes art passing me by. I never knew who he was but now ill make sure to keep an eye out for him
I lived in hillside village/el sereno I use to see his spots on Huntington Blvd by the market and everywhere’s.... he had good style loved his art 🖼..... props
Damn man i remember when graff was cool now all you need is an instagram RIP GRAFFITI "state your graff name here and the crew you rep here" haha peace out...local legend
I can't disagree with that yo but word is bond fuck Instagram street legends will live on as long as people like me and you don't fake the funk peace sunn
+BesrkTheBeast you do realize atlas uses instagram LOL it doesn't mean graffiti is dead. there is just also internet that displays it. shit changes get on with life and stop living in the past. as long as you bomb and paint it doesnt matter if you flick ur shit and post it online as well. neither of you probably even bomb a lot
Instagram has nothing to do with anything it's not like oh I made an instagram and pictures magically show up you still have to go and paint people just hate cuz new writers coming with better styles and getting noticed faster
the wiseguy whatever happened to him? Last I heard of him is that he was behind all the cats in LA and he got busted and went to jail after that I haven't heard or seen anything from him
Anyone know what Cap / Can combination he's using at 00:40 or what combination can be used to achieve the similar flares? I understand he has really dope can control tho..
El sereno native. Man this takes me back to mid school to high school westmont to schurr high graff was still at its prime freeways weren't getting buffed the la river still had all the great peices .I use to bike it from east los to pico rivera to hit the indoor swapmeet to get my montanas from FUKM who ran the shop man I wonder what happened to My Tshirt he made me fuck
Atlas Los Angeles legend... Oper...all l.a. legends...just look at our kind our style is untouched I miss seeing vox I'm seeing slot up in the city a lot now 710 got a fresh slot
Still my favorite since a young teen.. Still the most underrated in Los Angeles
this documentary doesnt get old. been 10 years since i watched it for the first time ever, 2008 back in highschool.
Joey Chaparro it’s timelesss bro! I saw this then also, his style was way ahead of his time.
it really is, my man. his style and skills were next level. his whole tag style and the way he flares inspired my whole generation of graff.
Same here
What happen to ATLAS? dude change his name or die or jail or quit? Ive wonder this for a while.
I watched this documentary with my girlfriend we went out to the freights late at night had a blast 💥
10 years on I still tune into this. Atlas is such an inspiration

God dam I remember seeing this documentary back in 2006. ATLAS CBS Los Angeles legend
I still have an original canvas of his that I purchased 11 years ago. Master.
Did you pick that up on Ventura BLVD @The Basement?
the 2005 Los Angeles graffiti scene was fucking sick.
+Richard Ramirez Mid 90s was better
Yeah only then lol
This was when it was the sickest
Glad I saw this video again...one of my favorites when it came out.
Im from San Diego and whenever my family would go up to LA i would see some of his work on the freeway dude has a unique style.
Watched this as a youngin getting in the graff game. Very inspiring. I always wondered why he said the scene and culture and politics were wack. Now I know. Real shit. Still an awesome video
Yes
Truth.
the politics is wack in any graffiti scene, better not to engage in it at all and just get ups
Never mentioned politics but I feel you I also see how they are a necessary evil
Atlas put alot of work in.. Saw him painting on Melrose and Venice.. Dude was always cool.. Seen him get up in different states, too.✌
2023

20 years later still amazing
