This past week we were lucky enough to receive a couple of shirts from the heads over at The Loss Prevention. For anyone who’s never heard of them before it’s a company by world famous graffiti writer SEVER MSK. The site is basically an online portfolio of SEVER’s multiple talents. He has a blog, portfolio of all the graffiti dating back from 1997 to the present, as well as an online shop where you can purchase some of his t-shirts. The “TEXAS TEA” is probably one of my favorite tees of all time. (Besides any SAC tees of course.) It has a character of the Robitussin DM bottle rocking some Nike Air Max’s. Haha, so hard! For more updates and information on what SEVER’s been up to visit his site.

Aside from being shocked by the 5.8 Magnitude earthquake yesterday, to our surprise, we received a lovely package from the heads over at CLOUT. It is of their latest issue (#10) with interviews from ALOY MSK, MUCH HM as well as upcoming rap artists Clyde Carson and Traxamillion. CLOUT has been in the graffiti magazine game for quite some time now. I remember first seeing this magazine back around 2006(?) and had always thought that it was well designed with a grimey, street feel to the publication. It also doesn’t hurt to have exclusive photos of graffiti that you don’t usually see on the net either. Graffiti mags come and go but these guys will definitely be around to pump out more issues for you in the near future. Visit their online shop if you feel like purchasing some graf supplies and/or products. Better yet, go buy their mag and check everything out yourself.

I received a call from Gabriel & Abijah earlier this weekend informing me that there was a skatejam/event/contest that the heads from 8=D vs SGV were throwing in Alhambra, California at some church parking lot. With nothing else to do we went ahead and checked out the scene. To our surprise we saw a bunch of rippers coming together to skate such as Mike-Mo Capaldi, Billy Roper, Danny Castillo and local rippers Ray Maldonado, Frankie from Non-Factory and Kirk Rocha were amongst the attendees. At the end of the contest there was a product toss courtesy of American Apparel, DVS, Matix and The Hundreds. Brings back memories of a good old skate session.

This is some old school shit that I found back in early 2003. The reason why these flicks caught my attention was because I remember seeing these surfacing over the net recently in 2008! (Wish that I had a picture to show you.) Don’t know in what website or what forum we saw a day flick of this whole train but it’s still running. That’s a good 5 years of run time throughout the US of A if I did the math correctly. This was the first time that I experimented with that funky fresh euro look that you see in my style alot nowadays. Looked like CHUE burned us all w/ the character on his E. Ouhhhhweee!

Our boy Masaki has been out and about on vacation from San Francisco throughout New York catching footy here and there. Looks like he’s been having one hell of a time! Here are some pics that he sent out to me via email.

As we mentioned earlier we did a pretty huge piece in the Rome River with 18 blacks for an outline and a white bucket fill but never got around to taking pics of it cause we had to catch a flight back to Paris a couple hours later. The homey ALSO finally got some of the flicks of the damage today so here they are. Just check out the people in the picture for a scale. You can see it from one of the bus lines that you catch. Don’t sleeeeeeppp!
RICKS & ALSO - Rome, Italy
ALSO caught some random bikers riding up and down the banks.
We signed this off cause we miscalculated how steep the bank was and painting it was a bitch. Needless to say we had “Calves of Steel” by the end of the night. LOL! ALSLOE can’t hang. Wamp Wamp…
