My Grandma just found my very first English dictionary stored away in her garage. It featured all the characters from Peanuts by Charles Schulz. I learned a lot from this book and read it thousands of times... (But, c'mon, "water," yeah right!)

These are some pages from the third issue of my zine Lost from way back in 1999. It featured Precise One, the Loks On Dope crew, flicks from Mexico City, and a bunch of other graffiti-related stuff! It's been long out of print, but here are a couple of ways to check out the entire issue:

Wordshape (a boutique type foundry and online select shop based in Tokyo) just released my new font Cinta Adhesiva.
I designed the typeface using hundreds of pieces of tape. It was first seen on the cover of Free Copy (a graffiti zine I put out once in while) and then refined for another zine called Text that my homie Moab and I worked on.
I was particularly inspired by the huge block letters painted by L.A. graffiti writers Crae and Haeler and the tape-written signage on commercial vehicles I've been noticing rolling around town.
Para más información, go here.

I thought I had lost this image of a ball-point pen drawing I did for a show at Tradition back in 2008 called (appropriately) Pen At Work. The original is now part of the Axis One Permanent Collection.
See the drawing a bit larger here.

The homie EricBMW has a really nice photographic collection of graffiti encountered while cruisin' the mean streets of L.A. Highlights include detail shots of intricate spray can work, images of some top-notch murals, and a ton of classic examples of original hobo markings on freight trains.

I've been a long time admirer of Rini Templeton and her art. Her commitment to social justice and the struggles of everyday people is a great inspiration and a testament to the strength and power of visual communication. I am posting a selection of her work in honor of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day.
