Pedronicus used to be Freehand

by **Pedronicus** on Fri Feb 26, 2010 7:49 am

I have just come across some of my personal history on the internet.
Back in the mid 80's I was into Hip Hop and used to write graffiti .
I've just come across this and I though I'd share it with you.
I only did about 5 pieces on trains and I only managed to get photos of 1 underground train that we finished at about 5:00 in the morning. I have no idea how these photos got on the internet, but it made my Friday. 1986 was a very good year.

Close, but no cigar Andy.
Those early photos i had in my sig were of an American Artist from NY called Dondi.
I wouldn't of stuck my stuff up on line because it was sub standard to his work, but after reading some of the feedback from my old mates on those images, I'm going to definitely hook up with these guys and do a new piece.

I'm going to love painting a big old Pedronicus piece. I'll make it easy to read so everyone here can read it instead of some wildstyle where no one knows what the hell it says.

Freehand sounds like 3hand if you stick your tongue out... and F can't really be written in that blocky style...

You had some fans on those Flickr photos, so I bet they're glad to see you back Pedro.

This thread should be bumped regularly for being awesome.

by **Pedronicus** on Wed Mar 31, 2010 5:51 pm

This thread should be bumped for not being nothing to do with American politics.
I will bump it everytime I do a new piece.

Here is a new photo uploaded of the whole nights work by me and my mate
