KATSU Timeless Skull Print

KATSU is one New Yok's most prolific vandals and his one-line skull can be found all over the city. "“The single stroke skull came out of my desire to tag faster. As a young tagger I became fascinated with the practicality of tagging different designs and shapes. I wanted to engineer a design that was attractive both from an artistic stand point but also from the idea of efficiency.”

He now has a print out HERE and comes in a variety of colorways. Nab one before they all go..

Cheers to Ektopia for the heads up.

Oker Goes to Jail

Last monday , London graff bomber OKER GSD was convicted for Graffiti offences and is currently serving a 2 year sentence... Pure Evil gallery is trying to help out by raising some money for his family, and they have 2 new OKER prints available...Check them out HERE.

Interesting story below from DRAX WD about the case...

'Look how far we done fell'.
Party Party!
Me & my friend, Oker decorated/wrecked/whatever this gaff with KR (Krink) for some trendy party in Shoreditch.. But that aint the point of this post. The truth is 'The party's over'.. I've just come from court & Oker has been sentenced to 24months (2 years) in prison.. Ceres, Bice & G-Money also received similar or slightly lesser sentences. A 5th person got a suspended sentence & fine (For a much smaller amount of damage)
You'll no doubt read in the papers tomorrow that.. 'Prosecutors described this 'graffiti conspiracy' as possibly the biggest they've ever dealt with' (well they would wouldn't they) . .In truth the lies & bullshit they threw at the judge during sentencing were quite disgraceful. He claimed not to have been influenced by some of it but clearly was. Let's be honest, a legal system that allows such nonsense is not one to be applauded.. After sentencing, the crown prosecution encouraged the judge to personally commend the senior investigating Police officer in the case (I wont name him because this isn't a 'personal' attack) But! It should be noted that the judge was 'prompted' to deliver this commendation & didn't decide to do so 'of his own accord'. Quite how the prosecuting police officer can also be the so called 'expert witness' in the same trial defies all logic. One would persume 'impartiality' would be a prerequisite to being 'an expert' in a trial/court case. You'd expect countries with 'kangaroo' court systems like North Korea to have such loopholes in their laws, but a country that prides itself on having a legal system that they claim is 'revered around the world' should take a good look at itself. Or to quote one of the geezers from The Wire... 'Look how far we done fell'.
Anyway! Once again the British legal system has proved itself to be a bastion of tokenism & vindictiveness when it comes to sub-cultural crimes or things it chooses not to understand. Sex offenders, the supporters of mass terrorism & rapists are treated more leniently in this country than graffti writers or (for example) football hooligans, video game pirates or ticket touts....
It's sad that these fellas will miss Christmas with their families & a large chunk of next year but it's even more sad the joke of a country we're living in. Hasta la victoria siempre.

RIP Tracy 168

Sad to hear the news that New York graffiti pioneer & legend, Tracy 168 passed away 2 days ago at the age of 64. He is featured extensively in the documentary Just to Get a Rep and discusses Wildstyle and the troubled relationship between graffiti and the established art world.

Grime Writer Pen

Grime Writer is a special chunky marker pen that can be filled with cleaning solution, and used to create art on a canvas of filth. Use it to tag your dirty vehicles & windows, or to transform dirt into artistic expression.

Much more socially acceptable than real graffiti and (more importantly) a lot less illegal - Grime Writer helps you leave your mark wherever you find muck. Use responsibly to help promote the phenomenon of negative graffiti, and brilliantly combine the crime of defacing a bridge with the community service time cleaning it up again afterwards, into one harmless, helpful, creative act.

Wall Writers Documentary

From director Roger Gastman—a producer of the Academy Award-nominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop—comes Wall Writers, a documentary on graffiti in its innocence. Through unprecedented access to TAKI 183, CORNBREAD, and a host of other legendary writers, Wall Writers tells the story of a time when underprivileged city kids refused to keep lurking in the shadows, when the streets were so wild that fame and infamy became indistinct, when art became a democracy and self-promotion became an art. And the narration is done by John Waters! [VIA]
