I, for one, didn't question, let alone rage about what you do or why you do it. I never have a problem with DC area graff getting shine. You were the one who brought up the need for context over "dumping images in a forum space". Context is great for those who need context. To those who don't need it, attempts at providing context can often come across as patronizing. As for telling your readers the real truth, that's your job. If you want to get the real truth then reach out to those who can best tell that story, rather than throw something out there and then expect them to find you. This is not about anyone being an expert either. The idea of expert or expertise is usually only relevant to those who come at something from the outside anyway. To those who are involved in this culture expertise is irrelevant. I can't speak for anyone else but as far as I'm concerned this has nothing to do with Nero. That kid is doing his/her own thing and getting up. That's great, props to that kid! As for Ennuics, peace indeed. I wish you much success in your chosen endeavor.

Prolific: "producing in large quantities or with great frequency; highly productive: a prolific writer." No diss to Nero. I don't know the kid and he may be getting the job done in a major way. However, to use the term prolific to describe "multiple quickies all over 14th and P" is a bit hyperbolic. There are a few other writers in DC right now to whom that term would be better applied. As for context; perhaps the readers of your blog need it, but the majority of folks who peruse this forum space are familiar enough with the local graff environment to provide their own context.

Beks with the ill Wite-Out technique

No offense, but you're kinda playing yourself here. Did you read this before you hit the Submit button? Did you really think that KAE was going to read this and say; "Wow, I never thought of it like that. Dude's logic is unassailable. I'm going to change my name post-haste"? For certain, the little shot at KAE's "idiot friends" doesn't help get the message across. If, as you say, you know how to find the kid, wouldn't it be more logical to reach out and have a direct conversation rather than a 12oz call-out? Take a breath, tamp down the pride a bit and think about it.

The mods deleted the flyer post?

All I know is, that flyer design is official!

^^^ Crisp and clean with no caffeine! I love this kid's use of color!

^^ kinda fresh... A different background might have helped it "pop" a little more but fresh nonetheless.

I don't think so. The story you're talking about is about a mural with dogs on it. At least I think that's the story you're talking about... http://arlington.wusa9.com/content/dog-mural-owner-bites-back

Was in Brooklyn in January and saw that kid Lewy up everywhere. Street level fills like mad.

Indeed. I regret not taking more flicks from back then...or holding on to the ones I did take.

Anybody got any flicks of VIEW from back in the day? I always liked his style.

Those Felon characters are, in my opinion, the freshest characters I've seen in graffiti. From concept to execution they're just dope. It's even more amazing when you consider he was doing these nearly 20 years ago and they don't look dated at all... 1994?? That's just crazy...some dudes on this forum were still drinking Similac in 1994
