Tonight at Parsons: (At Least) Three Things I’ve Learned From Vandalism Over The Last Dozen Or So Years.

I will have books and merch for sale as well. And I’ll give away a goody bag TO THE FIRST (AN ONLY TO THE FIRST) SIX people who meet me and mention reading this on 12OZ PROPHET - with good stuff from Handselecta friends, Arnette, Staple, Krink and Making Deals at 12oz. Each of 6 packs has stickers, keychains, a flask, and a Krink K-70

See you at 7:00pm.

If you are in NYC and missed my talk at the Type Directors Club a few weeks ago (and like your vandalism with a bit of high brow philosophical musing), you might want to come out to Parsons next week for my lecture about the Handselecta Project and a few things I’ve learned over the last 10 years of doing this project. I will surely wax poetic about graffiti while I get philosophical, theological, and ontological about vandalism. Plus there are pretty pictures, fun anecdotes, and some never before seen videos.

Still some seats open for Thursday nights talk at the Type Directors Club.

You can get tickets at the door or rsvp and get them ahead of time here: http://tdc.org/archives/7051/

OPEN for business. A lot of stuff has been leaking out online for the last few weeks. Including the SP One Tag Evolution poster showcased in the new   Mass Appeal. The   Sabe Letraset that made   Complexes Biggest graff moments of 2012 And the Agua Tees and totes that I’m getting emailed about daily. You can currently find these items and more by artists like KVEE (Miami) MESK (DC) ALERT (Boston) and WENT (ABQ) with more on deck. Currently available online at our new   webstore or at   Reed Space in NYC. Get em while they last.

So… If you haven’t heard. With the help and generosity of a LOT of GOOD PEOPLE. I wrote a book. And this year, Handselecta turns 10. Come celebrate with us at Reed Space in NYC.

Summer of 2012 had Mike G in NYC for the Klughaus /King Brown show. Mike Giant and I sat down and got personal with his style history. Thanks as always to Mike, the gentle giant, always willing to share.
