Revok

Revok

January 30, 2011

Revok is one of LA’s finest graffiti artists, definitely one of my favorites. The above photo was just posted on his site and it combines a new billboard, a sunset, traffic, the ocean and palm trees. Doesn’t get more LA. I also just watched a new video of Revok speaking on a bunch of various [...]

Calligraffiti

Calligraffiti

August 25, 2010

You guys were pretty psyched on Luca Barcellona’s work that I posted a few weeks back, so I’m sure you are going to be into this “calligraffiti” done by Shoe! A bit more sloppy and free-flowing, Shoe has a great hand style and a serious collection of work.

I have been a huge fan of calligraphy and hand drawn lettering for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid I would love to draw letters. Luca Barcellona hand style is amazing and I was drawn to his work via the video that you can check out after the jump. With a [...]

KR and Exit Magazine

June 16, 2010

KR posted about this issue of Exit magazine on his 12oz Prophet blog last February, but I didn’t come across it until today… I usually check out Exit on the newsstand as well, but haven’t come across this issue yet. None the less, the issue looks great and KR’s got some rad stuff in there [...]

Cope2 / Revok

Cope2 / Revok

April 27, 2010

New York’s Cope 2 and Revok from Los Angeles (2 legends) recently got together for some painting in the Bronx. This thing was presented as a “battle”, but neither of these guys have anything to prove. This was all for fun. Photographer Ruedione was on hand and has a good series of photos on his [...]

Incase André Arkitip

November 6, 2009

Incase and Arkitip teamed up with famous Parisian artist André (who has become a fixture on the ever enticing Purply diary) for their fifth installment of the Curated By series. Together they created a screen printed iPhone slider case as well as a MacBook sleeve. Searing away from his signature pink André worked with red, [...]

M.T.A = BUFFED

October 11, 2009

The M.T.A “river” tag in Los Angeles is being buffed. This thing is unreal in person… Anyway, I’m not going to sit here and champion graffiti in this case and I’m sure the state has it’s reasons for worrying about the L.A. “river”, but one would think that they could use the 3.7 million dollars [...]

This looks like a quick driving shot, and it’s not as crazy as some others, but anything this good on a billboard is nuts. Click below to view the whole thing. Courtesy of KiiD G@B3.

PIMP MY TRAILER

February 6, 2009

Vinnie Sammon sent this video through. Basically… “A 50-something year-old woman by the name of Patty Mayo sent out a desperate plea over YouTube. Her cries echoed through cyber space, receiving over 8,000 hits in just 2 days. Her wish was simple: for her favorite graffiti artist, Rime aka Jersey Joe, to paint a peeing [...]

RAIDS NET TAGGER CREW

RAIDS NET TAGGER CREW

January 29, 2009

I just read THIS ARTICLE that talks about another raid on graffiti writers-nothing really new there. The article brings up the huge MTA riverbed “tag” (seen above), and goes on to talk about the charges etc… The best/insane part that stood out to me was this line: “The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that removing [...]
