    I have a ton of photo's from this time period of your work I need to get them out of storage. Half of them I took myself the other half was from Serk. He lent my friend all his negatives and we went nuts with our hook up at the CVS photo department. Hands down this was the best era.......

    3A THREAD EAST

    I'm dig'n this poll because dialog is good and very entertaining.

     

    Personally at this point in time I think the majority of us paint for our selves, our friends and those for who appreciate what we do. To be in our 30's and 40's and still be doing this shit while handling the mounting obstacles of life is a testament in self.

     

    Graff is a lifestyle I've chosen with nothing to prove but to myself. It comes naturally with no distinction of legal or illegal, no discernment of right or wrong.

     

    I harbor no ill will towards any that shares the same name or crew. A name is just a name but style separates us apart.

     

    3A Crew will always remain with me, as it reminds me of the good times and the bad times.

     

    When all is said done and my life is spent, graff will have not meant shit but rather a distraction from life's problems and the end of a love affair.

     

    Only friends, and family remain.....

    I thought this deserved it's own thread. Dondi is by far one of my favorite writers he was so far ahead of his time.

    Michael White (Artist #1) Michael x Dondi White

    Michael White's homage to his late brother Dondi White, serves as the

    first of 100 among Converse 1HUND(RED) Artist designs. Dondi White, born

    Donald J. White (1961-1998), was an artist who is recognized as having

    set the stylistic standard that influenced a generation of graffiti

    writers. Often using New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA)

    trains as his canvas, Dondi's pieces created between 1977 to 1982 are

    highlighted as some of the most influential works in graffiti culture.

    Dondi White was one of the first graffiti artists to have a one-man show

    in the Netherlands and Germany and his work is collected by several

    European museums. In 1984, he began working mainly with blueprints to

    create collages combining exacting pencil and ink drawings with

    graffiti. The result was a series of highly intricate pieces, each of

    which took months to complete. After a long illness, White died on

    October 2, 1998 from complications from AIDS. In April 2003, the Dondi

    White Foundation was created to raise funds to support educational

    programs on HIV/AIDS prevention and services aimed to improve the lives

    of those affected by AIDS. For Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists, Michael and

    the White family provided images and sketches from Dondi White's

    personal journal to create a Pro Leather oxford shoe that features black

    suede detailing and a classic b-boy image outline in suede on the

    tongue. "B. Boys and Beyond" is etched on the mid sole and unique

    graffiti embroidery graces the shoe's outsole. The clear sole will

    feature a unique blueprint collage Dondi created and his classic

    "Tradition" piece will be placed in the insole.

     

    The Michael White x Dondi White 1HUND(RED) Artist collaboration shoe

    will be available December 15 2007.MSRP $90 with 10% of the net wholesale price of this shoe going to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland).
