MOBY - Expect Anything

The practice of leaving individual traces on freight trains is a respected North American cultural tradition. For more then a century hobos, tramps and railworkers, later also writers and adventurers made up nicknames to mark freights. Mostly they are executed with oil chalk markers in an elaborate handstyle, combined with a figurative logo and left on the flat metal surfaces of industrial trains, which travel all over the continent. These so called monikers are accompanied by the year, month or sometimes the day of the production and short thoughts, messages or quotes by the creators.

In the late 2000s the first European monikers began to appear on local trains, obviously inspired by the ancient tradition from overseas. While freight trains as a medium to paint graffiti on experienced a boom in the last decade, only a few people seemed to have adopt the exercise of doing monikers. Observing the freight scene you might be able to name up to 30 recognizable, reappearing names and logos. Without a doubt MOBY is by far the most extensively written moniker in Europe.

“Expect Anything” is not a chronicle, neither a collection of as many caught whales as possible. In his publication Emmett Edelstein presents well selected examples that stand out from the huge number of existing fins, due to their condition influenced by weather, repair work, buff, crossings, additional comments from railworkers, notes from the creator or added dates when MOBY came across older monikers.

The 52 paged zine includes photos from 2011 to 2021, an introduction by Bobby Bianchi 230 and was released in June 2021 in a limited run of 300 hand numbered copies.

Illegale Zeichnungen

Following the stale traditional graffiti type hierarchy, letter pieces can be executed as hasty throw-ups, large-scale, well readable bombings and ornate, multicolored pieces. The last category can usually be found in halls of fame, where writers often spend much time and even more paint to work on and perfect their style.

It is uncommon that these acquired abilities find their way back to the initially first two mentioned categories. Fortunately SCER decided to take this path when he brought back a rarely observed type of writing to the streets of Berlin: the outliner. After the first works popped up in 2016 , seemingly done only with a standard cap and cans of red or black, it looked like someone highly skilled killed some leftover paint by doing perfect firstlines.

Within the next months it became clear that SCER follows a strict agenda and whether the outliners nor the places are chosen randomly. Contrary to the logo like New York throw-up archetype and its repetitive execution on as much locations as possible, the artist seems to sketch, modify and improve his four letters more and more with every accomplished piece. Just like an ongoing demand for empty sheets of paper, SCER intentionally selects spots which are especially clean and getting buffed fast.

On 100 pages “Illegale Zeichnungen” (“illegal drawings”) comes as a real life sketch book, transforming freestyle drafts to the most efficient stylewriting pieces on the streets of Berlin. Besides photographic documentation the publication includes photo stories of remaining traces, which are picked up as inspirational ideas for the next piece or lines that minimalize into abstract shapes as soon as the spot gets revisited again and again. The introduction by BROM rounds off the photobook which is limited to 200 copies only. Every exemplar is signed by SCER with an unique outliner!

Sprühlinien - Emmett E. - 2nd Edition

Destroy- or Terrorlines appear in different places in Berlin. Each line has its own history and sometimes also expresses the emotion of the creator, because destruction is not always the motivation.

In the 44-page booklet „Sprühlinen“ by Emmett E. the sprayed lines are collected and combined into a fictional visual story.

*** Each of the booklets is numbered and has a different line on the cover ***

*** 2nd Edition ***

Get it now at Hitzerot.

“Der Edelstein - Rauschen” magazine out soon!

“There are millions of tags in Berlin. They can be found every hundred meters – somewhat like noise. Always there, like a disturbance with unspecified frequency, quality and origin.”

Out in december and available at Hitzerot.
