Spotted this piece in the office of Sticky Rick. I had totally forgotten about this piece. I don't even remember when I made it, but stoked it still exists!
Oh geex, now Cache and Eyeone are up on Complex. (I ain't gonna front, the first time I went to N.Y., the first thing I did was nab me an Ecko jacket...)
Peep Complex's take on Occupy Wall Street-related graffiti here.
Back in 2005, I put out a special edition of Lost featuring graffiti I saw in a couple of neighborhoods in Mexico City. Above are some pages from the zine.
I caught the Broken Windows Theory art show organized by CBS and LORDS over the weekend and (as always) forgot my camera. I snapped as many shots as I could with the ol' cell phone, and here are some the less out-of-focus ones. The art was great and catching up with a bunch of cool peeps was also fresh.
LeHumanBeing and I had the chance to peep Gajin Fujita's solo exhibition at L.A. Louver last night. Gajin's work is a fresh amalgamation of his experiences and background, from his Japanese heritage to his involvement in shaping L.A.'s early graffiti history as a member of pioneering crews KGB and K2S.

Tanner Goldbeck aka Racecar13 is one of the sickest artists I know and one of the raddest peeps as well. Here's some of his trademark skull work with a video of him busting one out in the most analog of ways: a pencil (remember those?)
In case you missed CicLAvia 2011, you can peep these vids by Swank and Modem to get a good idea of what it was like. L.A. street minus cars equals a big win for all!
Cache and I painted this mural in Echo Park over the weekend as a tribute to the people participating in the Occupy L.A. actions. The sun was setting when I took these flicks, but you get the point. Peep the whole wall larger here.
