Fountain Art Fair Recap

Jason Mitchell and Adam Suerte had a blast at the Fountain Art Fair repping Urban Folk Art® Studios. They showcased their work, as well as the work of UFA® Gallery regulars KEO XMEN, Dr. REVOLT, Mark Bode, TRIKE GND, and VEEFER. It wasn't an easy set up, they didn't have chairs the whole weekend, but they managed to network, sell some work, and entertain ,friends and fans, and meet some great fellow artists.

Thanks to everyone who came out, the old friends and the new ones we made that weekend, cheers!

"Its Alive" show exceeded our expectations

So the show was amazing. The place was packed with Writers from past decades, the artists that inspired us when we were young green writers. Never in my life I thought I'd be staning in the same room with the likes of CASE2, NOC167, JAMESTOP, ZEPHYR, CHINO, and many more, as well as the guests of honor STAN153, DR.REVOLT, MARK BODE, and JEAN13 (who couldnt make it, unfortunately). Other crews represented TPA, 3YB, RTW,TATS CREW,OTB, and many, many more. Here are a couple pictures I took, Look out for more by the great Joe Russo, and if you are on Facebook, check out these links

There's a big, big chance you wouldn't have seen this picture back in the 70's when I was growing up in The Bronx. The Spades were a power and The Nomads were another. This image is the representation of our turf, of The Bronx.
