I was like "Whoah!" when I came across the brilliant work of Franco Brambilla. His Invading the Vintage set is particularly awesome, taking old pleasant postcards and introducing some unexpected guests to the otherwise mundane scenery. Atomic Fist Leisure had me rolling with the giant robot fist floating in the lake .
As a result of the wipe of my blog archives, I will be sporadically re-posting old stuff in between days as time and memory allows. Hit me up if there's anything in particular I should put up on here again.

I had the pleasure of visiting this dope gallery in Mexico City calledCavemen Did It First. Established in 2008, the gallery serves as a platform for promoting and supporting Mexican street art and graffiti. I'm especially digging the pieces by Yoste currently on display there.

Got the blog software to work again, now trying to see if I can bring back my old posts. Some thangs are still quirky, like the automatic Savilleization of my tag...

Eyeone's work has recently been included in the Pasadena Museum of California Art as part of their Street Cred exhibition and in Dreams Deferred at the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles. He is a member of Los Angeles graffiti crews Seeking Heaven and Second To None and publishes the highly-acclaimed journal Lost | Graffiti in the City of Angels.
