Watch: RAMS – Water from the Mountains

RAMS is a graffiti writer from the land of the long white (paint) cloud, aka Aotearoa, aka New Zealand. Featuring highlights from his 2019 graffiti adventures writing ‘STOIC’, we see action in Auckland, and a solo jaunt through Europe – hitting Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Berlin, Brussels, and Rotterdam. Just raw graffiti on trains – flowing like water from the mountains. Always fresher from the source, as nature intended. 

“Going through Europe solo was a rollercoaster man, so many highs and lows. Having the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want is sick, and meeting a bunch of cool writers on the way was awesome.”

“Stoic is a more recent name I’ve started putting up, which I enjoy writing.”

“Other than Stoic being a unique word with dope letters as a nom de plume, Stoicism is a philosophy that talks a lot about letting go of what you can’t control, amongst other things. In terms of graffiti, I try to plan as best I can, and not worry about the things that aren’t in my control, because they will or won’t happen regardless of how I feel about it.” –RAMS
