The Writing on the Wall

Bric a brac

By Ruth Morris

You’ve seen their work at train crossings, on abandoned buildings, while driving down the I-95.  Graffiti artists, who also call themselves ‘writers,’ have made South Florida their canvas. Now, the book Miami Graffiti by James and Karla Murray, showcases the local graffiti scene.

We talked to a couple writers at the book’s launch– you know, about tags and bombing and burners and buffing and stuff– and put together an audio-slideshow with work we found near our studio.

Special thanks to James and Karla for allowing us to use the first four pictures, which feature work by ATOMIK./Produced by Ruth Morris

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
