Please... Put That Uh Revolver Away.

As some of you may know I headed to my hometown during the Easter break. Caught up with some good friends and just relaxed. Did some high school bullshit, reminisce, practiced with the fellas, went up to Calgary for a jam, ate my momma's cooking you know the usual. Weekend = success.

Coming back up we had to drop off a good friend's little brother off. As I was in his room I rummaging through his pile of magazine and one magazine in particular caught my eye. "JUXTAPOZ". Which is an Art & Culture magazine and it was the "New York city Graffiti Issue" I skimmed through it quick and was very intrigued by the contents. So I had to have it. "Aye yo Liem, I'ma jack this and give it back to you during May Long!" He mumbled an answer that I couldn't make out but I didn't give a fuck I was taking it regardless. 

Aha Bear.

On the way up back to Edmonton I took a good hour or two looking through the magazine and I must say I don't know anything about art but there's some damn good shit in here. A lot of premium street artists were in this New York city issue. Heads including KR, JEST, KET, SEEN, FREEDOM(This guy is nuts. He does old school throw ups making it feel like it's the 50's), Haze, Lady Pink, Quik, Ghost, and many many heads with unbelievable talent. It was amazing seeing so many different outlets on how artists separate them self from others and the norm but this one artist stood out the most in my mind. The guy goes by the name of "Crash". I'll let some of his art in the magazine "JUXTAPOZ" do the talking.

Crash has reinvented himself countless of times to stay fresh and stay new. Changing from doing throw ups and bombs on the IRT trains, to doing Art gallery shows but still being legit and keeping the same mind frame from when he first started.

"Towards the end I wanted more, painting my name on a canvas just wasn't enough for me. I had evolved"

- Crash

I guess in a way I want to be like Crash... but in a bboy form. Always changing, always evolving but still having that same swag I always have where people can say that's ttrockwell. It's inspirational to see someone do that countless of times changing paint & color but never changing the foundation & the drive.

Thank you Crash for the inspiration.

"You know, when you're in your 20's you're just fearless, you feel you can't do anything wrong. The difference between now and then is that I was shouting back then. Now I'm older and I have 10 other ways of telling a story; I don't need to shout."

Godbless,
