When you see graffiti the emotions can be mixed. The majority of us enjoy seeing quality graffiti work, note: quality. Not just random chicken scratch, but work that someone actually put thought into.

Well, thank you IronLak for tossing a ton of paint at these guys! Sofles, Fintan Magee, Treas, and Quench. The filming and sound track are even as stunning as these guys doing work! This entire video is a win. Great job!

I also see this as an important part in the art of fabrication: helping the next generation learn a craft that is constantly changing and innovating. Continue reading →
