sorry .. i had to read 2 books to my son lol
anyways...Big ups to Kuaze, shit is def dope as hell ..
Well to start it off this is a piece i did in 1988 in the Bronx
my second trip up there , in my tender teens ...
this piece was ripe with old borden krylons baby blue, pastel
aqua, hot pink, true blue, hot pink etc..
I did this while directly in back of me stood some of the kings
of graffiti Sento, Cav, Neon etc ..so the pressure was def on
this piece shows the early stages of my "style"
the bent in half letters I got from Stash2 and Braze
2 of my definate influences ... I tried to revamp this and revisit it
and it felt good ..
the 2010 version
I tried to keep the colors as close as i could ...
I used American Accents Aqua into an old can of Spa Blue Painters Touch [Thanks East]
of course i had no True Blue so i used Midnight Ironlak, alot darker but i
thought it looked ok....I kept alot of the elements of the 88 version .
The long sweep off the left of the R , The lower case E with the same swing ..
And an ATT 4 finger ring!?!?!?!? you dont want to get smacked with that ..
while i was painting it , i decided to add an 80's style scroll and dedicate
to some friends who died , that were a part of the 80s for me ..
Dane, Diester & Borax RIP ...
Did I go 2 & 0 ???
