Episode 19 of our Podcast presented by Modelo is out now featuring Niels “SHOE” Meulman. SHOE is a writer out of Amsterdam and a Dutch graffiti pioneer who helped redefine the art of lettering. Starting in 1979, Shoe went on to bridge the worlds of graffiti, graphic design, and fine art. In 2007, he coined the term Calligraffiti, fusing the fluid movement of calligraphy with the raw energy of graffiti. From the streets to the gallery, Shoe continues to push letters beyond writing and into fine art.

Tune in as he shares rare stories from the early days of the movement, including his time spent with Dondi, Rammellzee, and Futura. Full episode out now on Youtube and Spotify via link in bio.

Here are a few rare images of VEN’s graffiti work from the 80s-90s. VEN is a Brooklyn graffiti writer who emerged in New York’s subway scene in the mid-1980s. A member of AOK and RIS, VEN became known for keeping subway graffiti alive during an era when the MTA was aggressively buffing trains. As the classic subway era came to an end, VEN helped connect writers and organize some of the final painted trains. VEN’s story is a reminder that when the trains stopped, the culture didn’t.

Thank you to everyone who voted in our Forms of Rockin’ post poll! Anssi Arte’s Forms of Rockin’ has been a part of Museum of Graffiti exhibitions for years, and now we’re giving it its own place in our collection with a Limited Edition T-Shirt. Featuring the Bubble Style on the front and the lineup of Forms of Rockin’ styles printed across the back, this shirt celebrates an important chapter in graffiti history. 

Bubble Style emerged during the early days of graffiti, when writers were experimenting with new letterforms and pushing the boundaries of style. Writers like Phase 2, Comet, Blade, and Jester helped develop the form into what we recognize today. The Bubble Style lives on in graffiti culture and remains a foundation of the throw-up. Available exclusively at the Museum of Graffiti.

From the Post Office to the Streets. ✍🏽
The USPS postal Label 228 became a staple of graffiti culture. Writers were already experimenting with stickers as a way to get their names up quickly. In the 1980s, commercial “Hello My Name Is” stickers became one of the early canvases for writers. Then, in 1991, the U.S. Postal Service introduced Label 228, a large adhesive Priority Mail label that would eventually become one of the most recognizable sticker canvases in graffiti. 

Free, easily accessible, and built to stick, USPS labels offered writers a blank surface for tags, pieces, characters, and elaborate handstyles. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, postal slaps had become deeply embedded in the culture, appearing on poles, mailboxes, street signs, windows, trains, and walls around the world. What started as an everyday piece of postal infrastructure became a portable canvas—and another tool for writers to leave their mark.
