This is a compilation of nice hot Pieces done over the years by a bunch of well known and respected guys in the graffiti movement on the streets.
That is a very important fact. “Graffiti” really technically its “Writing”; but anyway it started in the street and in order for anyone to have even cared about you in this game you had to advertise in the streets. Thats where I feel the energy was created.

NICE SELECTION. Notice in this photo taken by Ket, there is a classic Quik tag from the “good ol’ days,”
Took this in a Queens tunnel over 10 years ago. The So Five – The 1975 Joint was a great find.

Originally from New Jersey,young Bigfoot fled to California in 1992 to be closer to big trees, skateboarding,and The Grateful Dead.Disassociated from art school and human society, in 1994 he started writing “Bigfoot” in the streets of San Francisco with relentless fury.Working often with house paint and wooden panels ,his work depicts the conflict between the respect for nature held by the artist’s cast of Bigfoot characters and the destructive agenda of mankind. Despite his reclusive nature, Bigfoot has managed to stay active in society ,designing skateboard graphics and footwear,showing in galleries in America and Japan,the release of his vinyl figure with Strangeco in 2004,and more recently his collaborations with The North Face and most recently Hurley.His eponymous character and his love of heavy metal and especially the masked rock group KISS,play a major role in his studio work as well as his occasional sightings on humanity’s facades.
Here @ Future Development exhibit we love the Legend QUIK RTW.. I first saw his work in the famous “Style Wars”. Even before that It was Henry Chalfant and/or Martha Cooper who exposed their images of QUIK’s work to me and I was a fan ever since.

Run the streets of the Lower Decka and you might be blessed to grace such a Young Hungry and Misunderstood street Legend. This master of the arts teaches valuable life lessons to the youth of today.
