Merry Christmas and Thanks

I'd like to thank you all, who have sent me e-mails,left comments in the c-box have enjoyed the fat tapes and compilations I do up and are regular readers of this blog, I really, really appreciate it, this blog would not function without you.

Also a big thanks to my crew at Philaflava and the ill bomb that is T.R.O.Y. the best forum on the planet, thanks for all the props and uploads and filled requests.

This year has been a crazy one for me and I'm not sure if I told you or not, but I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it shook my whole world up, I am eating better and being very careful about what I eat, I even started smoking again, but I quickly quit, as smoking and diabetes is not a good mix, the thing I worry about the most is the fact that diabetes can lead to blindness, that scares me like crazy, I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm just informing you about what's going on in my life.

I'm looking forward to spending Christmas Day with my family and next year I am going to make more changes in my life, I know I need to lose more weight and exercise more, so those will be in in effect.

So, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and let's hope for a really ill 2009.

Peace and remember to forgive and forget over Christmas time, it's all about Family and being together.

BOOKS - NEW AND RESTOCKS

AT DOWN - URBAN DESIGN 2006

Today's graffiti is polymorphous, innovative, and strongly forward-looking. During the thirty last years the discipline has mutated and tryed out many new ideas. Lots of artists worldwide are developing many styles with more pertinence each day. At Down 06 takes us from New York, trough Paris, Barcelona, Lisboa, London, Warsaw, then to Zagreb. An open door to the travel, trough the eyes and practice of Vania a post-graffiti artist.

The photographs describe some pictures related to the Graffiti world. The author has given a special interest in the places and realisations of this discipline. His acute observation and enthusiasm have led him to travel everywhere in Europe, and also to New York. This book, like a record book, describes those different places in different countries. Trough more than 150 pages, the reader gets an Interail ticket allowing to visit the train stations, subway, rail depots trough some major cities. The book also presents some industrial wastelands, remains of the XXth century, and the works from worldwide renowned artists.

Four basic themes run throughout the book:

GRAFFITI ART : Works of renowned artists distinguished by their uniqueness

TRAINS YARDS : Photos of rail depots

URBAN LIFE : Photos of urban landscapes

TUNNELS : Photos of subway tunnels

GRAFFITI COLORING BOOK

In The Graffiti Coloring Book, sixty of Scandinavia’s best graffiti writers have provided the outlines. You choose the colors. The graffiti sketch can be used as a pattern for a graffiti piece, but is equally a work of art in its own right. The book features drawings by legends such as Skil, Kaos, Pike, Egs and Bates. The Graffiti Coloring Book is as fun for all. Get out your crayons and walk the path of the kings of graffiti.

DISSIZIT SUMMER 08/09

"DISSIZIT, DISSIZIT, DISSIZIT!" A quote from the documentary "Style Wars" by graff pioneer Iz the Wiz was all SLICK needed to hear when he came up with the brand DISSIZIT! You can read it several different ways, "this is it!", the final, the end, the shit, or that we've finally arrived. The designs are courtesy of O.G. graff legend SLICK, who had his start airbrushing t-shirts on the shores of Waikiki and worked his way to Los Angeles, and Danny Boy O'Connor of House of Pain/La Coka Nostra fame.

SLICK is no stranger to the clothing game; for graffiti it was "Third Rail", for skaters and punks he did "Fuct Clothing", he brought you the Asian flavor with a street twist with "Shaolin Worldwide", and he has finally come full circle back to his graff roots with DISSIZIT! His art has been featured in countless documentaries, magazines, music videos, feature films and even an album cover or two, most notably "The Bizarre Ride to the Pharcyde". For more on SLICK’s art, check out http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmRpc3NpenNsaXguY29t, or on a train or wall near you.

DISSIZIT! like to keep the heads on their toes and fuck with what’s hot that particular moment, and flipping it, but never straying too far from the graff. It's sometimes difficult to come up with dope shit every couple of months, just to have the bigger dogs come down and swoop to make a killing. Still DISSIZIT! continues to grow at a steady pace, unaffected by this unforgiving industry where brands pop up and disappear every day, DISSIZIT! is here to stay.

Tees now instock.....
