This just in- the Red BUll BC-ONE Battle posters came in and they look like a ‘snatcher’, the die cuts look great as does the printing, if you can get your hands on one its a good poster to have. They also flipped my graffix a bit on the promo logo, nice look leaving the tag too.

On Friday before my talk and presentation I attended the Part One Blackbook Master Class. There was a good turn out of writers and non writers who came to take the session in order to learn about the usage of markers on paper and also about style writing. Joining us were Style Masters RIFF 170, NOC167, Original pioneer Snake1, DOC TC5, IVORY, KET and others. For me it was a grand honor to have NOC167 in my presence when I spoke of the evolution of my work, both he and PART were influential in my development, I was fortunate to have NOC167 offer a few words about himself and his work and also to have him by my side so I can express some of my gratitude and highlight some of his accomplishments through the work of my generation of writers who followed his lead, among them KEL1st, DONDI, DURO, MIN, DOZE, CRASH and many others. Funny that as a grown man I still have such regard for an artist of his stature, he may not have the same output or capacity but it lives through me and the generation of writers who practice the art of style writing.

FINE LINE: GRAFFITI ART AND PUBLIC SPACE:

A Conversation with Jacob Kimvall and Carlos “Mare 139” Rodriguez

As graffiti in New York City is increasingly criminalized, in other parts of the world Graffiti’s rawest and finest elements are finding their way into public spaces and major arts institutions recognizing the contributions of street art on popular culture and everyday cultural aesthetics. The conversation will explore the work of Carlos “Mare 139” Rodriguez and his evolving relationship to public space, galleries and the media also the work of art historian Jacob Kimvall, based in Stockholm, Sweden Mr. Kimvall has been working with various municipalities to preserve critical public spaces with historical significance for the Swedish Graffiti movement.

We humbly ask that you join us for what we hope is the beginning of a meaningful conversation around the historical implications of New York City’s Graffiti movement and how that visual arts culture is alive and thriving today.

Lee Quinones “Only in New York” Art Car to be Auctioned at Barrett-Jackson by Ford Motor Company

Las Vegas — Ford Motor Company will auction a 2009 Ford Flex art car, Lee Quinones’ “Only in New York”, at the Barrett Jackson auto auction in Las Vegas, Nevada Saturday, October 10, 2009. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Urban Arts Partnership and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Ford Flex has staked a claim on the streets as a true American original.  So has Lee Quinones.  He emerged from the New York City subway art movement in the 1970’s to international prominence in the arts and in popular culture.  Appearing and starring in important films like “Wild Style”, his work is part of the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum, the Groningen Museum and the Museum of the City of New York.

“Only in New York” is Quinones’ vision of the Ford Flex as an urban social gallery, a reflection of both modern day New York and folkloric aspects of Big Apple culture.  The exterior of the Flex art car is hand-painted using spray paint and clear coats.

The hood of the vehicle shows a typical New York street filled with those chasing success.  The driver’s side pays homage to the constant movement of the city that never sleeps.  The passenger side presents imagery of the controversial and tumultuous activity of the economy that is rocking the city and the chaotic images of the past decades that created cultural dynamics.

Features include a hand-painted center console, a band of poetry on the doors and headrests featuring the renowned “LEE” signature tag.

The “Only in New York” Flex was commissioned by Ford along with Automobile Magazine to express the diverse nature and customization possibilities of this groundbreaking new crossover.  Unveiled at SEMA in 2008, this art car was instrumental in the naming of Flex as the SEMA Design Awards “Most Accessory Friendly SUV”.

All proceeds from the sale of this car will be donated to two great organizations:
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) which is dedicated to finding a cure for diabetes
Urban Arts Partnership which strengthens public schools by providing arts-based solutions to urban educational issue
