Aug. 3) - A Mister Softee ice cream truck driver was arrested on New York’s Long island after he was caught peddling more than frozen treats, police said.
Kenneth Leiton, 22, of Elmont, N.Y, was arrested Saturday after undercover police officers working on an unrelated case said they saw him stop his truck in front of a house in Westbury, knock on the door and give the woman who answered a bag of cocaine in exchange for money, the New York Post reported.
Investigators said several bags of a white powdery substance believed to be cocaine were found in Leiton's ice cream truck. He also allegedly had a bag of marijuana.
Leiton was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third and fifth degree, third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of marijuana and endangering the welfare of a child, police said.
Polie said the last charge was made because kids anxious to buy ice cream were running up to the truck at the time of th drug sale, Newsday reported.
Bail for Leitin was set at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.

trav msk 7th letter

2009-05-12T11:42:00.000-07:00

young trav is one of the most unique style technicians american graffiti has seen in the last ten years we had a few words with the big homie about his style and over all lifestyle

state your name gangster? TRAVIS.

2.how long has young trav been in the game?
I have been painting since I was 14, or 15, but I couldn't go hard at first, cause I was on probation as a juvenile, and my Mom acted like the Warden to the most Secure Prison on earth, and I was the only prisoner this nightmare.... I hated it. I got caught several times as a juvenile, because I would go tagging around town in the day time because It was the only time I could get out of the Prison.
I remember when I was around 13, or 14 I went with a friend to a females house, and she was hooking me up with this other girl who decided to give me a hand job, I had never even gave my self a hand job at this point in my life, and I busted as fast as I had arrived. I was like; "what the fuck! That was great!" Then, I looked down, and I saw this load of babies on my shirt, and was thinking: What's this shit? Did I piss?...I remember being super embarrassed. I grabbed my bag, and skirted out with out an explanation, or a "goodbye" I was Ghost! I was so embarrassed. My homey caught up, and I explained what had happened, and we laughed about it....I started tagging on shit around the neighborhood to get my mind off of my humiliation , I covered a good amount of ground, and it was probably 2:00 in the afternoon I got a few miles away at a local shopping center when I heard the "Bloop-Bloop!" of a cop car, and took off even faster than I had bounced on those girls... I got away, but my friend didn't. His Mom who had to get him from juvy, and she told them who He was with, and it wasn't long before I was found... looking back It was a great day.... My first hand-job, Orgasm, and Vandalism Charges....

3.after painting nearly every city on the west coast and traveling extensively in the east what city is your favorite to paint and party?

I really enjoy to paint pieces, and painting them with friends, and collab on shit. I have had some fun doing that in Portland with Mink, Sucre, and Regal. Portland is somewhat of a playground for me... It's fun there, but it rains way too much.

4.whats the last thing you painted and where was it?
I painted a Smoke shop in Fresno, and I got payed for it too. It's a win win.... I haven't been active in graffiti lately. I was in jail for a good chunk of the year, and I am now trying to figure out legitimate ways to fund traveling, and painting for the future... Crime didn't pay for me.. It may have worked for Jay-Z, but not Me...

5.i first saw a trav piece on a freight train in 1999 i believe, how do you feel about trains in the late 2000s?

I Iike freight trains. the American freight train scene is a league of it's own... I had a lot of fun painting trains in the past, I hope to go hard on them in the future, when I get older, but it isn't my focus at the moment. You may see a couple here, and there pop up, but don't expect me to get all "Jase" on the scene though...

6.you have recently been blowin up as far as your graphic design work is concerned is this a natural progression?

Fuck I wish I had blown up. I am just getting started, and I am really taking my time with it. I want to produce 100% quality work. Quality over quantity... I am only getting started, so I don't really know where I am going to take it.. I know at this moment in my life it has consumed it. It is why I haven't been too active in Graffiti, or why I haven't been hanging out with a lot of my friends, or traveling. I look at it as an evolution of graffiti for me, it is my concepts applied on legitimate mediums, and mass produced, and shipped all over... It really is an amazing craft, and I am glad I decided to start doing it. Plus I will be able to go further as a graffiti writer because of this. I just have to apply my self solely to this at the moment...

7.ive recently seen your designs on merchandise adorning the shelves of stores ive also seen you rack from is that a wierd transition

It's a really interesting concept, and I don't think the transition was weird, I think I am just a product of my environment. As a child I wanted things, and I was mad at the world, I didn't think any job was good enough to have me as an employee, and I hated the fact that I had to slave my time, and energy to get this Currency. So I started stealing anything I wanted, I started stealing so I would never have to use money to get the things I wanted. I hated money, and I hated the thought of having to need this currency to acquire the things you needed, or desired, so I would just take them. Clothing definitely was one of the things I stole the most. My desire, and greed recently landed me in jail, and it was my second time I had been caught as an adult. I was also on felony probation in another county for another fraudulent crime... I was facing a lot of time, and I was rotting away thinking about this. I had come to a fork in the road, and I had to decide to gamble with my life, and continue to steal, or become even more passionate about design work, jump on that boat 100%, and use that, as another way to express myself, and putting my thoughts on legitimate mediums all while funding my life, and now receiving free clothing with out having to take it. It was an easy decision.

8.how do you feel about the whole gallery scene?

I like to see what people are up to in the gallery world. I am not one to do that many paintings at all, but it is something I will be getting in to in due time. If I had a to do list for my life, I would put doing some art shit on that list. Plus there is an array of free booze, food, good people to shoot the shit with on the opening nights. And for those who know me, know I love a good champaign jam....

9.i was lucky enough back in 06 to see some of your works on canvas,i remember being taken back that you hadnt shown them are you at a point in your life that fine art is something youd like to explore a lil further?

Yes, I have recently painted a good sized canvas for my friend CALM, and I was feeling it a lot more than that junk I did back in 06. I am really glad he asked me to do it, because it opened my eyes to doing paintings in a good way. I definitely will be doing more, but It's kind of overwhelming for me at this time, that there is so much I want to do, but I can't find the time. But It gives me something to look forward to, and that's a big plus in my book, and like Stunt Man Mike, I too have a book.

10.whats next for young trav?

Paying a friend some loot asap, getting my credit score up, and having lot's of protected sex. I honestly just want to produce as much quality shit as possible, whether it's graff, design, paintings, or slow jams mix tapes... I want to get it done, and do it right...

heres some randoms

11.jay z or lil wayne?

Any one who thinks for a second that Lil Wayne is better than Jay-Z is a complete fucking moron. With that said I do think they are both dope, and I do listen to more wayne than J, but It doesn't make him better...

It's the ROC!

12. s.f. or l.a.?

Goshen.

13. euro or rusto?

Rusto. I rarely fuck with that euro paint. but from the times that I have I have come to realize that it makes outlining so much easier. i couldn't believe the difference. All my pieces I do primarily with Rusto, and cheap buff that i buy for 5.00 I haven't done an all spray paint piece in a minute...

14.blonde or brunette?

Any one who knows anything about me knows I don't fuck with white girls.( Depending how you look at it) I need a spicy dark haired number to get me remotely interested.... I don't know why, and I don't really care. I cant fuck with blondes, they are just gross to me, they look like dirty beach sand, or ugly mayo sandwiches...Gross! -DARK MEAT ONLY!

15.domestic or import?

Lately I have been balling on a budget, so it's been Budweiser, and I ain't mad at that at all. It's the KING for christ sake... But when I get a good chunk of change I'll reach for a saporro. There is nothing better than going on a short stroll to the corner store to grab a saporro, and cracking that bad boy just before you touch back at the crib.... just thinking about it makes me want to work that much harder....

16 any shout outs or fuck yous??
Shout to My Son Alex. He's is the best child in world. Seriously.

im speechless

Police in Indiana arrested a woman after finding video footage on her laptop of her having sex with the family dog.

Michelle Owen, asked the police to search her laptop because she’d suspected the father of her child, Heath Pierle, was using the computer to search for child pornography.

A forensic examination of the laptop yielded two videos of the woman engaging in sexual acts with the Toby, a puppy Beagle, as found in the computer’s Recycle Bin.

From the police affidavit:

When cops confronted Michelle about the videos found on her computer and asked if she “knew what those files might be,” she replied, “The one with the dog.” Michelle then asked, “Am I going to be charged with this?” She then explained that she’d filmed the videos while drunk and didn’t remember doing it until she found them the next morning while sober and tried to erase them

THIS BITCH CANT BE SERIOUS

2009-04-23T02:03:00.000-07:00

this is truly mind boggling to me this cougar bitch has made off (ironic) with over 60 million.we all know that say old bernie was pushin that booger sugar there would be no salvaging any type of funds,and lets not forget there was an estimated 15 million withdrew from his bank previous to his arrest that has not been accounted for..some of these people have had to come out of retirement to continue feeding themselves and this bitch chills in her penthouse talkin ahit and swallowing spit all god damn day ....im pissed and you should be too

Broken victims of her husband's suspected Ponzi scheme are fighting for pennies on the dollar, but Ruth Madoff says $62 million she squirreled away is none of their business.

Lawyers for accused swindler Bernie Madoff claim the money and a penthouse apartment are his wife's, have nothing to do with any scheme and shouldn't be subject to forfeiture, according to documents filed in Manhattan Federal Court.

"They maintain that some of the assets ... are unrelated to the alleged Madoff fraud and only Ruth Madoff has a beneficial ownership interest in these assets," wrote Manhattan Federal Judge Louis Stanton on Monday after reviewing the documents.

Bernie Madoff's lawyers yesterday agreed to lift a freeze on some of the disgraced investment guru's assets so that the trustee hunting for lost Madoff cash can pay back ripped-off customers.

But the lawyers refused to let go of Ruth Madoff's interest in the E. 64th St. apartment, valued at $7 million, as well as $45 million in municipal bonds controlled by Cohmad Securities and $17 million in a Wachovia account.

On Feb. 11, a Massachusetts state regulator revealed that Ruth Madoff withdrew some $15 million from a Cohmad Securities account in the weeks and days before her husband's Dec. 11 arrest.

Cohmad is partially owned by Madoff and regulators claim he paid brokers who raised money for him through Cohmad. Over the past eight years, Madoff's New York investment firm paid Cohmad $67 million, nearly 84% of the firm's income over that period, Massachusetts regulators say.

Ruth Madoff has never been criminally charged in her husband's alleged fraud, but federal investigators continue to probe others who may have had a hand in a $50 billion Ponzi scheme that's been called the largest in the nation's history.

In addition to the Manhattan apartment, Ruth Madoff owns a home in Palm Beach, Fla., and the Madoffs share ownership of another home in Montauk, L.I., according to Manhattan federal prosecutors.

im feelin this poem, if your not familiar you should look into this man he is an american icon

Alone With Everybody
the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and the men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there's no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

I FINALLY FOUND A CHURCH I COULD ATTEND

2009-04-13T21:41:00.000-07:00

The Peyote Way Church of God is a non-sectarian, multicultural, experiential, Peyotist organization located in southeastern Arizona, in the remote Aravaipa wilderness. It is not affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Native American Church, or any other religious organizations, though we do accept people from all faiths. Church membership is open to all races. We encourage individuals to create their own rituals as they become acquainted with the great mystery. We believe that the Holy Sacrament Peyote, when taken according to our sacramental procedure and combined with a holistic lifestyle (see Word of Wisdom), can lead an individual toward a more spiritual life.

Peyote is currently listed as a controlled substance and its religious use is protected by Federal law only for Native American members of the Native American Church. Non-Indian Peyote use is protected in five states : AZ, NM, CO, NV, and OR. We do not have access to Peyote where it grows in South Texas and Mexico. As it is an endangered species, we believe an essential and inseparable part of our religious practice is the growing and stewardship of the Holy Sacrament Peyote.

The Church records 140 Associate members and 12 clergy. Vowed clergy members steward church grounds

To reach an awareness of the presence of the Holy Light within, we find it necessary to partake of Peyote as the Holy Sacrament. The Spirit Walk is our prescribed manner of partaking of the Holy Sacrament Peyote.

The Spirit Walk is a time of introspection and examination of conscience. It gives the individual a chance to re-evaluate their priorities. Through the Holy Sacrament Peyote, the communicant experiences a loss of selfishness and becomes aware of the god within. This heightened awareness gives the communicant a new perspective of the world and their part in it. Petty squabbles and daily strife become unimportant. Peyote often leaves the communicant glad to be alive and more in touch with the Earth and their deity. The Holy Sacrament Peyote, taken in the Spirit Walk structure, leads one to an orientation towards peaceful resolution of conflicts, empathy towards others, and environmental conscience.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (April 10) - A man convicted of murdering an Arizona couple by tying them to an anchor and throwing them overboard from their yacht off Southern California was sentenced to death Friday.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Frank F. Fasel imposed the sentence recommended by the jury that convicted Skylar Deleon, 29, of killing Tom and Jackie Hawks of Prescott, Ariz. DeLeon, who starred in a "Power Rangers" TV series as a teen, was also convicted in the 2003 killing of Jon Jarvi, an Anaheim man he met on a work furlough program.

Nintendo’s non-traditional interface for the Wii console lends itself to any number of odd controller hacks and designs, and the latest is this prototype Wiispray can. Part of Martin Lihs’ final thesis at Bauhaus-University in Weimar, Germany, the can-style casing contains a dismembered Wiimote coupled to a nozzle button. It can be used to manipulate an on-screen virtual spraycan, with different paints and color options that are controlled by realistic graffiti movements.

Although still early in the development process, it suggests another type of game platform and a fresh twist on the tired “art” app. The success of custom controllers for specific titles suggests that gamers are interested in a more realistic interaction than permitted by a standard joypad. Lihs plans to integrate a communal wall for collaborative graffiti in the eventual software title, that would allow ‘players’ to work on the same art project.

Rather than a specially designed can, though, it would seem easier to make a Wiispray ‘caddy’ into which the Wiimote could slot. Some clever thinking could link the nozzle button to one of the Wiimote’s controls via mechanical rather than electrical means; price would also be reduced

this makes me nervous

WATSONVILLE, Calif.—Dozens of suspected graffiti vandals have been arrested by Watsonville police using new aerosol sensing devices and informants.
Fifteen adults and 22 juveniles are now facing 885 counts of vandalism that cost an estimated $50,000 in property damage.

The sweep announced Tuesday is the result of a three-month investigation dubbed Operation TAG—Target All Taggers. District Attorney Bob Lee says offenders will pay with jail, community cleanup and fines.

Watsonville spends $150,000 a year to cleanup graffiti.

Deputy Chief Manny Solano says the investigation used informants, search warrants and an aerosol sensor developed by Broadband Discovery Systems of Scotts Valley. Details on how the device works are being withheld.

what the fuck do you mean details are being with held you would'nt be breaking any laws yourselves would you....skuzzin says fuck these guys

bilderberg group runs every aspect of your life...

The original Bilderberg conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in The Netherlands, from May 29 to May 31, 1954. It was initiated by several people, including Joseph Retinger, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, who proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting understanding between the cultures of United States of America and Western Europe.[5]

Retinger approached Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who agreed to promote the idea, together with Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland, and the head of Unilever at that time, the Dutchman Paul Rijkens. Bernhard in turn contacted Walter Bedell Smith, then head of the CIA, who asked Eisenhower adviser C. D. Jackson to deal with the suggestion.[6] The guest list was to be drawn up by inviting two attendees from each nation, one each to represent conservative and liberal points of view.[7]

Brookstreet Hotel near Ottawa, during the 2006 meetingThe success of the meeting led the organizers to arrange an annual conference. A permanent Steering Committee was established, with Retinger appointed as permanent secretary. As well as organizing the conference, the steering committee also maintained a register of attendee names and contact details, with the aim of creating an informal network of individuals who could call upon one another in a private capacity. Conferences were held in France, Germany, and Denmark over the following three years. In 1957, the first U.S. conference was held in St. Simons, Georgia, with $30,000 from the Ford Foundation. The foundation supplied additional funding of $48,000 in 1959, and $60,000 in 1963.[6]

The Dutch economist Ernst van der Beugel took over as permanent secretary in 1960, upon the death of Retinger. Prince Bernhard continued to serve as the meeting's chairman until 1976, the year of his involvement in the Lockheed affair. There was no conference that year, but meetings resumed in 1977 under Alec Douglas-Home, the former British Prime Minister. He was followed in turn by Walter Scheel, ex-President of West Germany, Eric Roll, former head of SG Warburg and Lord Carrington, former Secretary-General of NATO.[8]

Because of its secrecy and refusal to issue news releases, the group is frequently accused of secretive and nefarious world plots. This thinking has progressively found acceptance within both elements of the populist movement and fringe politics.[12] Critics include the John Birch Society[13], the Canadian writer Daniel Estulin, British writer David Icke, American writer Jim Tucker and radio host Alex Jones. Jones claims the Bilderberg Group intends to dissolve the sovereignty of the United States and other countries into a supra-national structure called the North American Union, similar to the European Union.[citation needed]

Jonathan Duffy, writing in BBC News Online Magazine states:

"No reporters are invited in and while confidential minutes of meetings are taken, names are not noted... In the void created by such aloofness, an extraordinary conspiracy theory has grown up around the group that alleges the fate of the world is largely decided by Bilderberg."[14]

According to the investigative journalist Chip Berlet, the origins of Bilderberger conspiracy theories can be traced to activist Phyllis Schlafly. In his 1994 report Right Woos Left, published by Political Research Associates, he writes:

"The views on intractable godless communism expressed by Schwarz were central themes in three other bestselling books which were used to mobilize support for the 1964 Goldwater campaign. The best known was Phyllis Schlafly's A Choice, Not an Echo which suggested a conspiracy theory in which the Republican Party was secretly controlled by elitist intellectuals dominated by members of the Bilderberger group, whose policies would pave the way for global communist conquest."

this is just a brief description youll have to investigate further and form your own opinions,but do keep in mind it is illegal for any member of the american government to speak on any kind of policy in privacy

SOUTH BEND — A South Bend man was arrested Tuesday after he stabbed a teenage boy he caught spray-painting graffiti on a neighbor’s garage, police said.

Related ContentStabbing follows west-side garage graffiti report
About 2:05 a.m., South Bend police responded to an alley near the corner of Huron and South Carlisle streets for a report of vandalism in progress.

There, a 31-year-old man told them two suspects in the vandalism had just fled down the alley and between two houses. He also said one of the suspects had been stabbed.

When the officer asked who stabbed the suspect, the man said he had and displayed a knife, police said.

Meanwhile, another officer radioed that he had the two suspects in custody, and that one of them, an 18-year-old South Bend man, had multiple stab wounds to the back.

Police then arrested the 31-year-old man on suspicion of aggravated assault.

During questioning, the man admitted again to stabbing the 18-year-old, but said it was in self-defense.

According to police, a heated argument broke out between the man and the two vandalism suspects after he witnessed them spray-painting graffiti on a garage in the alley for a second time early Tuesday.

During the argument, police said, the 18-year-old reportedly pushed the man multiple times.

When the man displayed a knife, police said, the 18-year-old asked jokingly what he was going to do with it and then made a fist as if to hit him.

Police said that’s when the man came down with the knife, stabbing the 18-year-old in the upper back several times.

The teenager was taken to an area hospital for treatment of his wounds, which were reportedly not life-threatening.

PASO CHECKIN IN FROM PUERTO RICO

2008-12-19T15:38:00.000-08:00

So I called up the lil homies I got out here to go do some spots, they wanna do a warehouse thats for sale off one of the highways, called the 3. So we meet up smoke 2 blunts, bullshit for a min wait for the new Jacka Bootleg i copped of the net, highly recommended by the way.. and we start mobbin... get to the spot, tryin to figure out where to park, cuase its next to a bank. And the police patrol all the banks on they're routes or some such shit out here, cuase of all the robberies, we decide fuck it I think it will be cool like right in front of the spot, but maybe back off the street alittle, so i pulled in circle the bank scopin for security guards, none to be seen, whip it out, flip a bitch, jump out gather the paint, we decided on doin big crew shots, TKO * DWA, i had previous sketched the letters, and we all agreed that shit looked chunky so I jump in the spot coverin my face becuase the bank next door has cameras all over the lot. We get too it, i start sketching out the letters, the homies start fillin in.. I just got done with the "TKO" and my spidey sense started tingling, I turned around and of course, the boys are there shining the spot light at the whip, a rental i had. So we duck and cover, hit the deck post up, theres alot of bushes and vines and bullshit all over growing the end of the lot in front of the warehouse were painting, the warehouse surrounded by thick ass woods in the back. and wrought iron 9 foot fence in the front and block walls separating the warehouse from the building next door.. the boys park the cruiser, get out and start walkin around the car, and into the banks lot, the bank and the warehouse arent separated by a fence just a open lot about 30 yards from pavement to wall. with a couple of trees and shit, from my hiding spot behind a lattice of vines i can see these fuckin pricks walkin around conversatin and what not.. Im thinkin we are cool cause A, they didnt see us just the car. B, we are deep in the cuts of this lot. C. they think somethings happening at the bank.
So we post.. then a cop car blazer pulls up, and still the dont trip off the huge letters going up not 50 yrds away.. still lookin all around the bank. But this is a different country, corruption runs rampant, the boys in the cruiser walk back to their car, converse with the fools in the blazer, look in the car some more, and disapear from my view for a few minutes, then I hear a loud pop followed by air escaping, my first instinct is these rotten fucks are popping my tires, then 2 more pops and air wooshing, Im thinkin NO FUCKIN WAY IS THIS HAPPENING!!!! we are fucking screwed!! these pricks are gonna post up at the car and wait for its owner to come back... Im sweatin bullets now, I can see the homies to my left and right just a few feet from my position. Im like yo, what the fuck do we do i whisper, they are like just chill they gonna leave.. finally after a few more rounds around the bank they finally dip down the frontage road. We stay posted up till we can see them gettin on the Highway. We creep out. start to paint again, cuase im like yo, were gonna be here awhile anyways why not handle it. So we start painting.. a few minutes go by,.... BAM boys again this time we stash the paint dip over the wall to the adjacent lot, and too the back of it chillin behind some dumpsters, theres a old leaning against the building and Im like hey climb that shit and get an idea of whats up. By the time homie gets up there. boys left again.. I tell em yo stay there and keep an eye out.. by this time the fills almost all done, and starting to outline.. the highways on thursday in the little town were in are known for street racing, so shits going off behind us while were painting.. im talkin hundreds of street mod cars doin burn outs, fuckin lawnmower mufflers and shit gettin stupid fast.. shit was wild to watch, we finish.. but not before the boys come back 2 more times we hide more.. prolly been here for 3 hours now.. we pop out, run to the car.. sho nuff these crooked fucks popped my tires.. 3 of em/ and tried to stuff a brick under the one they didnt slash. Im like WHOA.. then light bulbs on my head say, dude call the rental company roadside assistance.. call em. full coverage pays son! now they on the way with a new car and tow truck for the flat one. its gonna take like 2 hours at least.. im like alright stash all the paint, and we'll post at the car. Im like we need a story kids, cuase these fools are gonna trip when they see us standin around the car. So came up with a duzy baby, we ran out of gas, went the gas station for a can and some gas, came back 3 tires slashed.. walked back the station to return the can, and call the tow truck. shure enough soon as were done hiding all the paint in our bags, the boys come back theyre acting like what, I dont speak spanish for shit so im like yo homie kick knowledge to these fuckin pigs, and we tell em the story, my boys like yo just speak english real fast and act hella mad... which wasnt hard cuase i was pissed. the come trip out on us for awhile ask to search the car, keep us there bombarding dude with questions we tryin to corroborate our shit, they kinda trip that they didnt see us at the gas station or on the street, but we havent done anything wrong yet. i realize these are the same two cars of crooked ass cops that were there out walking around earlier, i can tell by their silouettes, they are kinda laughing and tryin to get us to snitch on our selves for like an hour, but finally they took off. the tow truck shows up right as another jake comes and yanks us out of the car at AK47 point. tryin to get us on the ground, askin whats going on, luckily one homie chimed in and explained, our ridiculous lie, the tow truck comes, the second cruiser dips. the tow truck takes one look and says, did the cops do this? HAHAHA we all started luaghing, as hes taking the new car down. we didnt say anything.. I signed the papers, dude snatched up the busted whip.. we hit the freeway, and dipped...

GOOD GRIEF

2008-12-12T12:07:00.001-08:00

this kid kills period ....

1.state ya name gangsta...

Grief

2.what crews repped

DVR, MFG, FR.

3.1st graffiti experience

Damn i wish i could remember my first graff experience. haha well i remember my early stages when i was in high school and used to sneak out of my parents house past curfew to do some of my first fill ins around the city.I would ditch school and take the bus to rack supplies, rack paint because i wasnt old enough to buy it and catch scribe tags on the bus. FYI i always carry a scriber. It is my favorite tool of choice.I ditched more school than i attended. At night i would sneak out and i remember pretending i was in france during world war 2 and i would tell myself that cops and taxi cabs are like german snipers and i have to avoid them and not get seen by them and i would walk to spots to paint doing tags and every time a car drove by i would jump and hide like some sort of soldier ninja, haha those where the days, man i did a lot of graff in those years, most of it sucked.Painting in the snow was always my favorite. haha

4.what compelled you to do so

Well i grew up in Los Angeles during the construction of the subway and i remember seeing graff everywhere especially around the subway and bus stations and i DID NOT like it, i was like what is this garbage??? but i came to reno a few years later and i experienced culture shock and that is when graff came to me and i started doing it, i had always been attracted to art and skateboarding, graff was just there. I was anti social in school and i always felt like i needed to do something different to separate myself from the usual kids at school. One day i had a bad injury skateboarding that required me to stay off my feet so i started doing letters and doing pieces on paper then i ventured into the train yard. I would ditch class to paint trains during the day, my high school mascot was the railroaders haha how ironic is that?

5.current state of graffiti ?your opinion???

i think it is getting harder to do it illegal and it is a shame because that is the purest form of graffiti when it is raw, loud,ruthless,no permission, ugly, crunchy, ghetto,grimey, drippy and has that in your face attitude that says "hey! i was here, fuck you!" and i think it is important for graffiti to always have that in its essence. It seems like graff is branching out to different types of art medias and that is good to see but i really would hate to see it become corporate. Graffiti has always been the weapon of choice for the few people in our society to use to fight back at the people and corporations who truly deface our vision and minds with advertising and brainwashing bullshit and make us feel like we are just statistics and numbers in society. Now that most corporations figured out that they can use this art form to their advantage they want to exploit it so that is why it is important to keep it real,original, and in the streets.

6.your favorite city to paint

I would have to say San francisco is my favorite city to paint due to its compact streets and city structure and convenient transit.There is no place like it. The city I'm primarily based from is a 24 hour nightlife devils playground. In the city of Reno Nevada it is hard to paint city spots which left me the option of painting freight trains instead, but the city is underated and i have painted city spots and so have others that were never flicked or posted on the internet but Reno has had its grace of presence with a few good writers that have painted some good graffiti. In 2005 i went on a mission to paint several pieces,tags and bombs on a "hot" street called 4th and it is swarming with cops and bad news 24/7 but i did it for my own personal satisfaction and the fact of overcoming a challenge and in the end i think i did a good job and crushed most of the down town reno area and 4th street but most of the work i did back then i never flicked so it is lost graffiti and i had some good pieces running that i regret not flicking and now they are all buffed but I'm sure the police department has pictures of the damage i saw some of them and i ended up going to jail and got in a huge mess in court but that is another long story. After the 2005 hot spot binge i wanted to continue focusing on painting trains for the next following years or traveling to other cities.

7.what would u like to accomplish before you are done

well i never want to get to the point where i would have to admit being close to done ,i just want to keep doing what i do and progressing with my style and doing it repetitively and travel to other cities and get my name around and meet other writers and paint.

8.what is graffiti to you??

Graffiti to me is being able to do what ever i want. Life is what you make it.

9.who were your influences coming up???

I had a lot of influences. close friends and local cats in reno were some of the best to me.adjust, Chino,Mores, WBL Crew, TME crew, ITS crew,Ha crew, Ayer Lts, Mber, HM CREW, Sace Irak, Sag Ta, Setup, Rime, Grey, Kaper, Kaput, Sien 5, hobo monikers, WCB crew, Kahn, A2m Crew, Ikso, Emit,East att, chisme, Heat, Klean Lts, Pysa Lts, kuk, Abhor, Steel msk, Twist,Amaze, Trav, Skuf, Earsnot, Tie, Espo, Revs,west coast graffiti, Seen, etc....

10. if you had any advice for a new jack coming up what would it be

Yeah just keep doing it and doing it, and somewhere along the road sell your soul to the devil.

11.weve heard you recently had a pretty big art show what do u think about more and more bombers chasin that art money?

well i think its cool,even graffiti writers have to eat. But i think most writers should definitely put in work and get some clout before they consider doing a art show. As for myself i was tired of doing obscure graffiti in this city and i wanted to come out to reveal my work and i really felt like i had something to show people and I'm not sure i'll get pay for it but i really spent a lot of time preparing the pieces. People are rarely exposed to graffiti in this city so i wanted the chance to bring something new to the table. I usually try to keep art and graffiti in separate categories but i wanted to bring the two together and i got a result and it is what it is. Most of the works were collages of pictures I've saved in last few years that i thought had some importance to me so its very abstract and random but i think people were interested in what they were looking at and the expression of their faces was priceless. But a important element to me has always been being elusive and secretive with my work so i really was hesitating on doing this and felt like i was selling out but i guess it felt like it was time to move on and try a different approach. Im getting older and i really cant run from cops anymore due to skateboarding injuries so... word.

12.paint rack or buy???

all of the above, you never can have too much paint. any and by all means necessary.

13.trains walls or streets

first streets, then walls, finally trains. i think there must be a guideline for writers to follow those procedures in order and accordingly. i hate seeing garbage on trains. Practice on the streets first then hit up the walls to get some style then you can come to the yards when you can come correct.

14.what does dvr stand for

Doing Vandalism Right!!!

15 any fuck yous or big ups?????
death to those who oppose, ignorance is a weapon of its own destruction. Mad Love to my family friends and crew,you know who you are.

Mama mia! A saucy Papa John’s deliveryman sliced up a Brooklyn Heights elevator like it was a piping hot pie, but little did he know that a security camera recorded every last scratch.

And now the owner of the Livingston Street building is biting back, suing the franchise for $3,200 — the cost, he says, of removing the “Dizzy CFM” tag that the ditzy doughboy scratched into the car’s wood paneling.

“We were shocked,” said Michael Cantor, the landlord of 59 Livingston St., the defaced rental building

between Court and Clinton streets.

“I spoke to the [franchise] owner and he said, ‘It couldn’t have been one of my drivers,’ ” recounted Cantor. “I asked him to watch the video and he refused. [Read More]

its a family affair

2008-12-12T11:47:00.001-08:00

(Merced, CA) — Keeping things in the family is one thing but a California father and son have been arrested for allegedly spray painting graffiti on a building.

Authorities in Merced say they were tipped off by a concerned citizen who saw a 32-year-old teaching his 13-year-old son how to paint graffiti. Officers arrived on the scene but Felipe Ramos and his son took off. The two were arrested a short time later at their home not far away. Ramos is already on felony probation and is now facing felony graffiti and contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges. His son is also looking at graffiti charges.

beantown crackdown

2008-12-08T17:18:00.000-08:00

Even though he’s headed to prison, SPEK will still be visible in Massachusetts. The Reading-spawned graffiti icon, whose real name is Adam Brandt, has hundreds — if not thousands — of modest scribbles and ornate masterpieces spattered across the Commonwealth. In Salem, which is ground zero for the massive North Shore graf scene — and where he was recently sentenced to four months for tagging and vandalism — his tag is sprayed on dumpsters, brick walls, street signs, and every other type of flat surface imaginable. Barbed-wire fences hardly proved obstacles. As a teeming graffiti force, SPEK rarely encountered train yards and abandoned buildings that he couldn’t infiltrate.

For those reasons, he’s considered by both fellow taggers and law-enforcement officials as one of an elite bunch of exalted bombers — not all of whom are affiliated — who instigated an unusual police action this past December. A dozen town and city police departments joined forces to share information on the region’s heaviest graffiti hitters and hunt them down. While such police cooperation is de rigueur for more serious crimes, it is a brand-spanking-new strategy in the graffiti world. And whereas previously a captured artist/vandal usually faced community-service hours and fines, this new effort — spurred on by angry citizens in communities affected by the graffiti — is targeting an unprecedented number of taggers for jail time.

If SPEK was a Moby Dick of sorts for the consortium of Bay State vice squads, Boston Police Department (BPD) Detective William Kelley and MBTA Police Lieutenant Nancy O’Loughlin have been SPEK’s Ahabs, chasing the outlaw artist for a decade. But SPEK is far from the only big fish reeled in as authorities and community groups have cast a wide net from Marblehead to Dorchester. In October one of SPEK’s rivals, New York graffiti queen UTAH, was charged with 33 counts of tagging for her handiwork around Beantown. UTAH, born Danielle Bremner, is a member of the international crew Dirty 30, who from 2006 to 2007 heatedly competed for visibility with SPEK and his outfit, ITD (Illustrating Total Destruction). That same month, another veteran vandal, Tyson Andree Wells, who’s better known as CAYPE, was sentenced to one year in the South Bay House of Correction.

Exactly 12 months into this far-reaching regional law-enforcement campaign waged by the unofficially dubbed Greater Boston Area Graffiti Task Force, taggers are on the run, and at least five Krylon kings have been nabbed in the largest Bay State graffiti crackdown of this millennium.

After a nearly two-decade cat-and-mouse struggle, it appears that anti-graf cats have finally discovered how to reduce the amount of illegal street art in Eastern Massachusetts. While taggers have for years maintained the upper hand by relocating to neighboring locales when their own hoods got hot, authorities are now wising up. Highly visible taggers like SPEK and CAYPE have become trophy kills for the authorities, and their captures are being trumpeted as a warning to others. It’s a reality that both law-enforcement touts and taggers are willing to concede: for the first time since North Shore communities were overrun with graffiti in the early ’90s, the most prominent players in this local subculture now stand extraordinarily endangered

it is an undisputed fact that this guy had shit on lock ...during my first trip to sf in the early 2000's i was blown away at the boldness of the writers killing at that time ...a few of the people like adek ques and of course kerse were doing streetsides like nothing fillins tags they literally had created a graffiti playground.i remember debating inside my head wether or not i liked kerses stuff they were these huge stock cap filled blocks that were raw as fuck....and i realized not only did i like it but i understood it ...when i went back to sf i started befriending alot of the btms...and they made it obvious that kerse was more than just that dude..after leaving sf i headed on to nyc ..once i walked through the les any question i had about dude was answered he had his trademark barbwire tag everywhere and any block with out a tag for sure had a fill ...rest in peace kerse
