This month (April, issue #99) we feature the incredible graffiti and illustrative talent, Augor. This young rising star has recently been attacking the streets of LA with a fervor not seen in years, infusing a refreshing energy into a scene increasingly saturated in unoriginality.

Getting a feature article ready for publication is no easy feat, but does afford us to opportunity to get to know raw artists in a manner not available to the general public. Luckily, in between hounding Augor for answers to our burning questions and driving to the next graf or party scene, we snapped a few photos of where the genius (or if you happen to be an LA cop, the enemy) sleeps.

Grab our current April issue to see Augor’s fresh feature and see the artist’s intimate world in candid home studio shots we snagged during our interview day…
