So yesterday i cruised over to Queen Beach printers in Long Beach to be on press as we ran the 8th seasonal magalog for MOSLEY TRIBES. I know that the world continues to move towards an all digital format. There is nothing better than to hold a tangible object in your hands. The texture, the smell of the fresh glue from the bindery, there is nothing better. This is an art form from, the pressmen that handle all the dials and gears on the printing press, it is truly a quality craft.

Article from saberone.com

Early on the morning of the 1st of September, I was woke by the phone ringing: My Piece Was Getting Buffed! I immediately went down to the river, found a crevice to hide in, so that I could watch the whole production of the piece being painted out.

Watching something that I had done 12 LONG years ago, being painted over, I didn’t expect my reaction to be what it was. I thought I’d feel horrible, it was something I had done when I was in my twenties, when I still felt invincible and had an unwavering sense of mission. But hiding there watching the workman paint, what I actually felt was a calming sense of accomplishment. What I sacrificed to create this piece, gave back to me ten fold. I never expected it to reach all corners of the world. And even though it was only a blurb in history, I feel it helped put LA graffiti on the map.

Ultimately I’m not happy with them painting over history, BUT, I won’t mind, if it means they will follow through and adopt an intelligent policy along the lines of the Friends Of The LA River’s mission:” to protect and restore the natural and historic heritage of the Los Angeles River and its riparian habitat through inclusive planning, education and wise stewardship”. Fuck it! I would rather trade shopping carts, rotting canine corpses, and florescent purple water with a shit brown tint, for clean water and a flourishing, vital habitat, wouldn’t you?.

So after watching the video i think it is ridiculous that the city is spending 800k on river bed graffiti removal, no one goes down there unless you are a vagrant, LA should take some tips from Amsterdam and have a sanctioned area for artist to do their art in public view.
