DIE ZÜGE GEHÖREN UNS
"The Trains Belong to Us," published in 1986 by Don M. Zaza and Roscoe, is now considered a cultural-historical document. It describes the experiences from the beginnings of Munich's graffiti scene and the events of that legendary March night in 1985 when seven artists - Don M. Zaza, Cheech H., Blash, Cryptic2 (now Loomit), Roy, Roscoe and Zip - painted the Geltendorf train as the first European whole train.

DON M. ZAZA
Don M. Zaza was part of the first generation of young artists to start doing graffiti in 1983. He sprayed his first words, such as "Break" and "Graffiti", in red and blue underneath the bridge in Puchheim (on the outskirts of Munich).
A pioneer of Munich's graffiti scene, he was very active in the mid-80s at the Hall of Fame at the Dachau flea market and on the first trains, and he quickly became known in the scene.
Besides doing graffiti, Don has participated in and curated various international urban art exhibitions and projects, such as Cubabrasil and Arabic Graffiti.

In 2008, he relocated from Ingolstadt to Munich, where he continues to live and create art. From 2007 to 2017, he organised La Grande Schmierâge, the largest graffiti jam in southern Germany, attracting 60 international artists to Ingolstadt biennially.
