New issue of Rap-Up on newsstands now and in the Periodical section. New tee shirt collections for the Beatles and John Lennon, as well as one more for the Dirtbag. Garage Gear women’s line dropping shortly.
I just finished an article for Ping about LOST, an amazing Los Angeles graffiti zine and about some aspects of L.A. graffiti that intrigue me. I am particularly interested in the influence of blackletter (often called Old English in the U.S.) lettering on L.A. graffiti. The article includes a world premiere film about the work of Atlas CBS, a highly influential and active L.A. writer. Due to the volume of information covered, Ping is using an edited version of the article. The full-length version is here.
