PAPER TRAILS Arkansas railroad graffiti artist left his mark on California menswear writer
Back in the '90s, Derek Guy and his friends would hang out in train yards and study the graffiti on the sides of the parked trains, which were like colorful, exotic, rolling art galleries. The work of one artist in particular stood out to Guy. They were line drawings in profile of a bearded man in a cowboy hat smoking a pipe and accompanied with cryptic, enigmatic phrases like "Audience expands" and "Never came back."
