YO! IF YOU ARE GRABBING MY SHOTS TO REPOST ELSEWHERE, NO PROBLEM, BUT GIVE ME PROPER PHOTO CREDIT. AMAZES ME THAT I NEED TO TELL PEOPLE THAT.

GALLERY PAGE 2 leaves off from the end of this gallery page, so check it out!

If you came straight to the gallery here, you may want to check back through the posts starting March ’09, as I’m starting to post photos there as well.

/>My archive could be up to 80,000 images for all I know (all slides originally and now mostly digital shots, a lot of retakes to edit out for a proper count), starting back from 1990. I’m slowly getting it all properly scanned for safe keeping, and I’m identifying everything I can. I will be calling on folks to help with that over time. I will be reorganizing the gallery page soon, but here is what you can see for the time being.

I’m picking and choosing as I go along, showing many of the Usual Suspects, as well as writers not widely know or remembered.

SOME of the photos are not great (bad light, off-focus), but worth looking at.

EVERYTHING FROM HERE DOWN HAS FIRST BEEN POSTED ON THE HOME PAGE POSTS

Here’s some early Kofie quickies (with Gatcha sometimes) from my archive from 1994. He’s an example of what happens to someone with talent that keeps pushing forward.

pg-175-kof-mn-3-94.jpg pg-178-kofiegat-bt-5-94.jpg pg-180-kofiegat-mn-5-94.jpg pg-180-kofz-mn-5-94.jpg
Check his site Keep Drafting!

A while back, there was a post thread on 50mm concerning Skill UTI. I posted some pics, but in case folks didn’t see them or don’t look at that forum, here they are.
From the Panic Zone, ’92:

pg-52-skill-1-92.jpg

In Hollywood, with Toons, ’92:

pg-61-toons-skill-2-92.jpg

Santa Fe Yard, ’92:

pg-90-good-skill.jpg

Same place and year:

pg-95-ultra-skill-10-9.jpg

Arts District, ’93:

pg-158-mercy-skill-11-9.jpg

Late ’93 out in the SFV with Seltic:

pg-160-wake-up-seltic.jpg

And finally, ’94 down in the Arroyo with Smurf:

pg-173-skill-smurf-3.jpg

School of Hard Knox by SH, Belmont. 6-94 from here down to the Gear photo…
pg-182-school-of-hardknox.jpg

Panic’s presence in the letters is clear, as Precise’s is in the character work. Here’s a detail:
pg-182-precise-bt-6-94.jpg

Mural STK has always had an interesting loose style, and this example is from the Arroyo:
pg-183-mural-arroyo-6-94.jpg

Xpres was a major character heavyweight early on:
pg-183-xpres-mel-6-94.jpg

And Nuke’s characters and letters always stood out too:
pg-182-nuke-sparc-6-94.jpg

Many writers and crews have come and gone, some getting recognition, and others not so much. Here is Gear MDK on Belmont Hill:
pg-182-gear-bt-hill-6-94.jpg

PET crew, Highland Park, 2-93:
pg-105-g-hp-2-93.jpg

Sure, you’ve seen pics of this, but maybe not so early with good color. Zender and friends, Highland Park, 2-93:
pg-105-zender-2-93.jpg

Very interesting because KGB (Kids Gone Bad) were one of the important first generation crews and there are not that many photos of their stuff. 3-93
pg-107-kgb-mel-3-9.jpg

Such on Melrose, 3-93
pg-107-such-mel-3-93.jpg

Besk and Pale at 7th and Santa Fe. 3-93
pg-107-besk-pale-3-93.jpg

Classic CBS. Mear, Anger, Krash and Unit on Melrose. 3-93
pg-107-mear.jpg

Pictures continue from March 1993 down to the flick from Power…
Sacred at Santa Fe yard. Always interesting to see cholo letters (COI…) on a cross.
pg-107-sacred-7sf-3-93.jpg

Xpres and Krash on Melrose. You can see it’s a photo-in-process in that I’m in the middle of using photoshop to remove the posts in front of the piece.
pg-107-xpress-krash-3-93.jpg

C2D, “Create To Devastate,” came out of DP, “Def Productions.” Odin and Dazzle on this bit on Melrose.
pg-108-c2d-odin-dazzle.jpg

A ton of people painted decent stuff but never became acknowledged names. Care was one of those people, here at Motor.
pg-108-care-mn-3-93.jpg

Jick, a top early character writer (and he had good letters too) at Huntington Beach.
pg-108-jick-hb-3-93.jpg

NASA crew, always awsome!
pg-108-nasa-hb-3-93.jpg

Rich and Just195 at the beach.
pg-108-rich-just.jpg

Skate, on Melrose.
pg-108-skate-mel-3-93.jpg

Vybe AWR alway had good letters. He also wrote Veo. Here at 7th and Santa Fe.
pg-108-vybe-7sf.jpg

I know a lot of people have seen this classic Xpres character, but here it is again. Melrose.
pg-108-xpres-3-93.jpg

Item TCS (Tough City Squad, The Chronic Sons etc.) at Huntington.
pg-109-item-3-93.jpg

Ah, Charlie at Motor. It’s easy to see why he inspired so many.
pg-109-mn-3-93.jpg

Persu (not to be confused with Persue of Bunnykitty reknown). Love this shot because of the guys hanging out with a blackbook.
pg-109-persu-3-93.jpg

Relm at Motor. He was always one of my absolute favorites. This piece (I don’t think I want to know what it’s about) was right next to the Doze and Wen RSC pieces in my book. And if you don’t have my book yet, you’re worse than Hitler. And don’t rack it, ya.
pg-109-relm-3-93.jpg

TCS crew at Huntington.
pg-109-tcs-3-93.jpg

“Aero” by Tyke Witnes. Great then, great now. De-tagged (de-toyed?) with photoshop.
pg-109-tyke-3-93.jpg

This is from L.A. pioneer Power…

Just because I came across some of these while scanning (I’m only complete with scanning my slides up to 11/94, and then various bits after that), I thought I’d post them.

This the earliest shot of Fear I have, from 8-91 at Belmont:
pg-32-fearbt-8-91.jpg

This is the first shot I have of his transition from his previous style where the emphasis was on letterblends, to more segmented/fractured. From 6-96 at Belmont:
pg-248-fearbt-6-96.jpg

Ok, now he is starting to emphasize a bit more straight block/bits over round forms. From 4-97 at Belmont.
pg-268-fearbt-4-97.jpg

I haven’t gotten up to the point in my scanning where I can show the earliest example of his fractured “bits and chips” style that we are familiar with these days, so here’s a more recent one from Highland Park, 10-08.
pg-697c-fear-10-08.jpg

I’m going back to dates where I was in earlier postings.

Benx? at Belmont, 6-91:

The following images down to the Mek close-up are from July 1991.

pg-21-bt-7-91.jpg

Angur (not to be confused with Anger CBS), and Dream at Belmont:
pg-21-angur_dream-7-91.jpg

DS One at Sanborn. I gets confusing sometimes, for example, this is DS1 the writer from DP crew, not to be confused with DS (Dope Style) the crew.
pg-21-ds-one-ss-7-91.jpg

Frame at Sanborn:
pg-21-frame-ss-7-91.jpg

Marvel (Won Ton Men) at Belmont. Really interesting to see people bring in different sides of their culture, here showing not only modern graff, but Kanji and either Hiragana or Katagana.
pg-21-marvel-bt-7-91b.jpg

pg-21-marvel-bt-7-91c.jpg

More from July ’91. First, this dope wall from Sanborn with those GREAT Xpress characters and PET.

pg-26-pet-xpres-7-91.jpg

Pride UNC and Pre UNC CO2 crew at Belmont: This is what Pre wrote to me: “Pride 911» Poet aka Pre one 1991 Belmont yard… Pride rocked the letters and I helped fill in. This was the first time I attempt to rock a character, pride hooked it up… this crew was called CO2 “Chilling Out Together,” and it was a click off of UNC, “Under No Control,” a South Central crew …..

pg-26-pride-pre-bt-7-91.jpg

And back to Sanborn, where unfortunately the “S” of this Strip piece was covered by the dedication piece to Defer, although “Trip” is not a bad name either.

Looking at LOD facebook photos, there was a nice Panic posting of Ranger Rick’s, a short-lived yard in Griffith Park. Skate turned me onto the place, and I thought I’d post just a quick couple, Mel DFB and Bash from 5-93, and Bash from 7-93. Then since Panic also posted a Treeline yard shot, I thought I’d post an alternative shot from that yard of the shot in my book, from 6-95:

As I mentioned in the post of 5-29-11, I’m going to repost the material I had put on Myspace (anyone remember MS?). Just to have things a bit different, I was posting slightly later photos, starting from late 1992, although that seems moot now that I’m posting just on the blog here, but what the heck, it’s all interesting.

“3A” (Against All Authority), by Talo, I believe, with Besh, Motor yard, 9-91. As I scan my slides onto disc and HD for safekeeping, I get annoyed at myself for sometimes shooting too tight; I would like to see the whole piece and tag on the right. Big ups to “Lil Spanky” for the ID, and for hipping me to KTE, PTI and 3A crews!

    Thanks for the props on the pics. Odin is correct about the DS name derivative, but I was never from Fly ID. I was from OTR, TSS, CBS, DP and TK. Eventually took to one crew only – Def Productions.
