Graffiti artist.

Some people will never understand how much mathematics, flow and symmetry goes into true graffiti style writing.

Just heard that Swiss graf legend Dare TWS passed away yesterday. His work has always been an inspiration to me from even when I was just getting started. His work is amazing and always consistent. Rest in peace to a great graffiti artist…

I’m proud to present a new project and site I have been working on for quite some time. I present Graffiti Spaces. I’ve always been intrigued by the types of places I would find myself painting in when I first started writing. These places were sometimes desolate and unpolished, and at other times heavily trafficked and dangerous. I started taking some photos of the spaces for a photo research project that explored the spaces where graffiti lives. Check it out here.

When I started writing there were only a handful of graf magazines, and even less books. One of the most influential books out at the time was the Martha Cooper classic Subway Art. The 25th anniversary edition recently came out and its bigger than ever. If you haven’t already checked it out, do it…

…and while you’re at it, get that Dondi White book too.

Senses Lost, a super cool graffiti blog  from Canada, recently featured The Fresh Collective’s Streets 2K9 video on its site. If you haven’t checked it out yet, here your chance.
