If you find yourself in Melbourne or Stockholm next friday you should go see…

Mid winter edition…

For my man CEY- CITY, aka WELSH.

Brooklyn style

Looking for Lil Soul but found killer kenny instead.

I shot this picture this past saturday in lower Manhattan not far from ground zero.  It’s dated from 83 and obviously has nothing to do with the attacks on 9/11 but a little creepy just the same.

One of the last if not the last of 400 black silhouettes done by Richard Hambleton in 1982.

This is what drawing for 30 days straight looks like.

Went to the Transit museum last sunday…It’s a shame they will never embrace graffiti but still worth checking out.

Fun for fiends and families alike.

Represent

Go Stetsa

Seeing this in a museum made me feel oldish.

A good combination….think Isley Brothers.

Captain Nemo steez.

Remember when dime bags were almost as big as this one.

watch the fingers…

The R-40 trains, (aka - slants, bulldogs and star wars, - because the fronts look similar to Darth Vader) were officially retired in 2009.  Sad to see ‘em go.

We definitely had our fun.

Last stop, everybody off…

Having some fun with a sharpie 30 pack.

First off happy new year to all.  This is not the first thing you want to see in the new year.  Having postponed my Grand jury duty twice last year it finally caught up with me when I got a letter in December stating I was to report to serve on Jan 4, 2010.  Mind you this is “Grand” jury duty which lasts for four weeks. I had the opportunity to postpone one more time but I knew if I did that it would most certainly fall on a time when I am traveling or in the thick of making new work in the studio.  So I put my name in the hat and took a chance…Luckily for me the gamble paid off and I was not called.  Go 2010…

Anyway back to business…

Like many people I spent the time between christmas and the new year starting fresh with an epic house cleaning. It was long overdue and time to sort through and throw out things that I have held onto for 10, 20, 30 years.  After being scarred for life by watching 5 minutes Hoarders I decided I too should redefine my crap.  That said collecting things and putting them into my collages is a big part of what I do so I can’t throw everything away.  Here are some things that I found while sorting. 

The 1975 Moon Landing Lego set.  Only 6 years after the real moon landing and a few years before they made little people figures.  Also those red rims on the moon buggie are killing it.  I can’t throw this out.

The NY public school system giving me props and support several years before I even started writing graffiti.

This is a page out of the NYCT “Vintage Bus Fleet catalog.  The bus on the top right is just another reason that 1973 was the funkiest year ever.

Still Champs.

This is the program guide for the 1979 Comic Art Convention at the Statler-Hilton Hotel.  I always dug the Bil Maher illustration on the cover and that’s why I think I have kept it so long.

Some 1986 action, peep the old Williamsburg bridge in the background.

The must have for all true metal heads, with or without the angel dust burn mark on the cassette.

Laugh if you will, but every time I hear “Last Night” it still reminds me of union square.

Side a: I Against I

Side b: Age of Quarrel

Would be great if these two bands toured and did the Steely Dan thing of playing certain albums from start to finish.  The world peace/ re-ignition tour has a ring to it.

My first car, so many missions with that car…stories for another post.

Offer good through August 31, 1988 or while supplies last.  Proof of purchase?...not in those days.

My first single color print done on the A.B. Dick 360, circa 89…relax.

Artfux poster from the early 90’s. Just as relevant today as it was then.

Flyer from 1993 show at the Ritz.  Biggie still on the come up and about to blow up.

I kept this one for my files, for the record I voted for purple.

Old sticker for the Lords of Brooklyn/ BMT Lines Store in the Ridge, circa 92? 

VHS Cover label for Video graff 5, yes VHS.

I picked up this sticker in a thrift store out in the North west last year.  Not the oldest thing in my collection but a good note to end on.
