GRAFFITI LA

If you’ve looked at the Gallery recently, you’ll notice a recently posted shot of 3A crew at Motor. Thanks to “Lil Spanky” for connecting me wit Talo (who will be providing some history), and for telling me about KTE, P2I and 3A who I’m sorry I’ve kind of slept on. I plan on correcting that […]

To all the writers in L.A., you will want to see this show! I have been printing up photos for the show, many or most of which have been previously unseen, and since we all know how quickly things changed at the tunnel, I know there will be pieces and productions shown that will be […]

Many L.A. writers have talked about periods over the years when graffiti activity was more active or less active. There were long periods, for example, when I didn’t bother going by Belmont Tunnel because it was such a graveyard because of heat from the locals, and then suddenly things got cracking again. It will be […]

Shirlae Cheng-Lifshin and I have a little blog entry on the MOCA site. Check it out.

I’ll be doing a little power point presentation at the Pasadena Museum of California Art tonight at 7pm if you haven’t been to a slide show of mine before. Sorry, I don’t have a guest list. Free with admission ($7 adults, $5 seniors and students).

A few more from 8-91 in the Gallery Section!

I believe I’m finished reposting the older archival shots that were originally on my Myspace page, and have continued a few more shots from late 1992 and early 1993 (Besk, Charlie, Jick , Myte, Veo Hazen, Sacred, Xpress(?)), but I’ll probably get back to a slightly earlier era with the next batch. Stay tuned!

When talking with Dream SMD in late April, he was curious who my favorite writers were. I told him it depended on the period of time we were talking about, and that I never really thought about a personal Top Ten list. I said of course he would be on the list, but also mentioned […]

Sure sorry to hear about the loss of Dream SMD last week. He was a major inspiration to L.A. writers. Glad I had a chance to talk with him, more than at any time in the past, about who he thought was important to L.A. graff. Also finally met his crew mate, the other half […]

If you are a graffiti aficionado in L.A., then you probably already know about the two shows that I’m involved with. But just in case, here is the what’s-up. The big Art of the Streets at MOCA is very ambitious, and of course controversial. I am glad to have a wall of photos there representing […]
