Graffiti

A selection of Navy 8 ship monikers sailing the rails to unknown destinations.

On a recent trip to Japan among all the visual bombardment of lights and advertising, the stickers of Essu were a definite standout walking around. Detailed and ornate, there isn’t much like it in Tokyo.  Well, Essu is having a show tonight at Look Gallery and if your there, go!

Here is a crispy clean Twist in 1997 with Chevy, Revok, and Kokes hanging out on a roof in the background.  A good time for S.F. graffiti scene.

As generations come and go, New York’s Ces sticks around dropping pieces that are murderous with style and funk.

Juxtapoz friend Dylan Maddux who currently resides in Bangkok, along with American photographer K.C. Ortiz, shot this new video for LRG documenting graffiti writers Pose, Vizie, and Steel’s visit to Thailand.  What to expect?  Graffiti, drinking, and mischief of course.

This new Amuse piece has a wide range of great effects and colors seeping out of it, including a pyramid “E’.

Like a spaghetti noodle after a flash boil, Noway’s letters wiggling around.

A lot of massive graffiti walls and blocks have been painted over the last 10 years, most notably from a West Coaster perspective, Saber and Mta’s work in the L.A. River.  However, Berlin-based crews Org and Ars are doing things on a street level, the size of building!  The two crews, who have been battling, have even caught the attention of the local media and have landed themselves on the cover of the paper.

Horfe continues to re-define lettering in his own dimension of reality.  This newest piece is bugged out and reminiscent of a tweaked out Dr.Seuss landscape.
