Film. Bomb The System
Film. Bomb The System: My career as a graf artist was brief and pathetic. I remember trying to write 'Jazs' on the bleechers in high school and getting caught immediately. I had to clean all the graffiti in the gym because of that minor infraction.
I always thought about how cool it would've been to be a graf artist as a youth. You know, stealing spray paint, getting your name all over NYC, becoming infamous. But at the end of the day, I'm just a goodie-goodie, I'd rather watch someone else do it. Bomb The System gives us the chance to see what it is like to be a graf artist. Anthony 'Blest' (Mark Webber) is a talented and notorious street artist. He's torn between his street artist life and the possiblity of a normal life as an art student. When his crew gets beat up by the cops, they declare war on New York City, his decision becomes even harder to make. Bomb The System was recently released on DVD. Check it out, it is definitely queue-worthy.
