Summer’s almost gone. This is what I’ve been up to: painting, printing, running around. Too much to write in too little time. To sum it up I just finished a 911 mural in this scary old church for the NY State Museum up in Albany. I did a 911 memorial piece for SEIU 32 BJ. I cut a ruby for IVAW that Kevin kindly printed for me. I took my meds. I saw a flying bulldog. I painted some glass for a club in Manhattan. And then school started and all hell broke loose. See ya soon!
There was a write up about the piece Voke, Mode, and I did in Bushwick.

As you may already know KASE 2 passed a few days back after a struggle with cancer. I didn’t know KASE personally but was introduced to him, his style, and his one liners in the Graffiti documentary STYLE WARS. There’s a nice write up on KASE 2 here. Rest in Peace to the “King of Styyylle”
Me in ‘89 trying to draw like Doug Car. Thanks for the photo Lori.

In the Albany Yards we ran into the legendary HOT MOP comin’ off a southbound train.
HOT MOP is known amongst fellow travelers for his knowledge of RR medicinals, astrology, fancy handwriting, and impromptu storytelling.

After 5 nights we decided to walk away from the big wall. We feel good. See the progress and completion of the scared straight letter over at www.inthedream.org
Day 2: Last night we finished up blocking out the letters and filled the background in. We also played around around with the projections. More at www.inthedream.org
