Sigi von Koeding 1968 – 2010

A while back I asked Revok if he would be interested in doing a monthly column about who’s killing it in the graff world.  I was psyched when he said yes.  So now without further ado, Roid.

Nice work Nunca.

The Times has got an entertaining interview with Banksy.

“There’s a problem with being in the public eye — you have to become very tough, to grow a thick skin and ignore other people’s opinions. It’s unfortunate because those are the traits you actually least want in your public figures or artists. ‘He who goes to bed in a suit of armour doesn’t get much sleep’ is an old Chinese proverb. People might ask — how can you demand anonymity while doing a six-page spread in The Sunday Times Magazine?” he continues. “But the answer to that is simple — you just have to be a massive hypocrite.”

NY Times City Room is fielding questions for Lee Quiñones.

So far we have the usual, angry citizens

“Since it appears you have profited as a result of your graffiti art, have you made any effort to pay restitution to the city or other property owners of locations you vandalized?”

From madsteez:

“SABER is a legend. A natural born predator, preying on anything and everything. His graffiti is vicious and angry, and a fucking pitbull fight to the death. He’s a hero, a catalyst for up-and-coming writers, signing blackbooks, shirts, hats, cellphones and even other guys’ girlfriend’s titties. SABER is a real fukin’ artist, bleeding the black blood of creativity which oozes violently from his veins. I spent a night with him, engulfed in his human spider-web better known as Echo Park, piled in an avalanche of art supplies and real life-threatening gang politics. I could feel SABER’s aura of unruly passion and I had an eerie feeling I was in the presence of art history greatness. With millions of fans all over the world, somehow he has been overlooked within the bullshit of the fine art world. He’s on the verge of popping that pretentious cheery and when he does, I can’t wait till he stomps all over the art worlds’ face.”

The Selby recently visited Steve Powers’s NY Studio.  As always, the images are great and entertaining but, the gem was the handwritten interview above.

Somehow Joker came up in conversation this weekend (alcohol won’t let me remember), so I felt I needed to do a slideshow of some of his work.  Originally from DC, he lives out in Oregon now.  Style for miles
