Seattle Times Review

     From the Seattle Times:

“A close look is exactly what filmmaker Jon Reiss gives us through numerous illuminating interviews with practitioners in those cities and many more. “Bomb It” is nothing if not breathless and authoritative in its global view of how graffiti spread from Philadelphia and New York to the world.”

Seattle Press

From The Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

“”Graffiti started at the beginning of human consciousness,” claims rapper KRS-One near the beginning of “Bomb It,” John Reiss’ pixilated history of the outlaw artists who stamp their identities onto public facades…”Bomb It” offers a new way of looking at the world’s cities, courtesy of the art world’s fleeting phantoms, who often have to choose between buying food or a can of spray paint.”
