Anthony will always be the one RARE person where you can't find one person to say one bad thing about him.Jason,remember how when we'd go out painting with Anthony we'd have 12 to 14 cans each of us and Anthony would come with three,yet he'd smash the whole area with that iconic self portrait and big tags,we'd come back the next day for flicks and Anthony just out-shined everything we did and those same three cans would go for the next night!!!!I've never understood how the paint would last him.

 

Here's a fun Anthony fact: 10-12 years ago shepard fairy was having an art show in austin Anthony was in attendance pocket full of stickers,and drinking free gallery wine....Anthony being WAY ahead of his time starts to put his stickers in the gallery and on shepards lame prints.Of course in art fag tough nature shepard is screaming "who the fuck is this guy?where is he?" somebody points Anthony out,shepard towering a foot and a half over Anthony,shepard comes from behind and sucker punches him, Anthony, grabs shepard and 1-2-3 he is on the ground with Anthony on top of him.Turns out Anthony's brother taught him all these take down moves for his rail travels.Those rail travel ventures were an epic that if written they would make Hemingway green with envy.

I still always think of that picture of you,three or four years old dressed up as a tecate can with your dad.

Only Anthony could own the pleasure of putting hands on fairy......yet he never bragged about it......he'd actually say that was he was at fault and it shouldn't have happened. You always made everyone laugh yet if I made you laugh that would feel like a huge accomplishment.

i met anthony in minneapolis back in 97-98 when he was sitting at the seward cafe. he had just done a kids character and outline on one of those 360 degree spherical etch-a-sketches. you know the kind that rotates when you turn the horizontal axis knob? and it was perfect. we both were into hopping trains, hitchhiking and greyhounds as a last resort, drinking and punk rock. if there is a few things about graffiti that i learned from him.

graffiti is a secret indentity. fuck the tough guy/gangster mentality. you don't have to ride crews. graffiti and corporations = selling out. fuck legal walls. have fun. find your own spots....

oh man i am going to miss him dearly for the rest of my life....

 

oh yeah, you never heard him talking shit....

It's kind of crazy because I actually only knew Anothy for a short time, but it felt like we've been hanging out for years. And we actually were able to accomplish a lot of damage in such a short time. We had some good adventures and I saw some crazy videos he made. I remember him telling me he had a video of him cutting himself and I was thinking who is this guy? Then I saw the video and the cut was deep and nasty, blood everywhere and he had the scar of all scar's to prove it. He was a crazy lovable guy.

Anyone that punches Shepard Fairy is ok in my book.

His characters are always great to see and we'll definitely do are part in keeping the name alive.

You'll definitely be missed!
