Puttin In Work….Golden oldies….

Thanks to Roger Gastman at RRock Enterprises.  have been able to go thrugh 100o’s of old flicks recently. Roger is the editor of my book. He and his staff have archived literally two chests of pictures of my life. It was a long process it took over two years. I wish I could post them all, but it would just take too long. I also have to save some of the real good stuff my Book coming out toward the end of the year! Here’s a handful of safe to post stuff….

This was the “first” piece at the Panic Zone legendary spot off of the 10fwy downtown L.A. We came across this brown buffed section of the wall, probably over some buffed gang writing. The wall was completely bare with no tags or gang writing. We hit this in 83 it took a few years before this spot turned into an actual yard and people started hitting it. The piece said Severe Risk. The outline was done by Soon, Severe Racked the paint, and we all painted it… That was the first time I used krylon engine paint. We racked it from an auto part store, everything except the beige was engine paint. The beige were these big cans of 99 cent beige sold at builders emporium. ( the first big building chain and MEGA RACK spot!!!)

  2. While we’re in the Risky Graffiti / Blog / Puttin In Work….Golden oldies…. zone, Hip-hop has had a significant influence on several genres of music. R&B, in particular, was the most influenced as to necessitate a subgenre. The key difference was that the subgenre was coarse and contained less of an R&B influence.
