CHAZ BOJORQUEZ

 As a boy in the 1950's Chaz Bojorquez experienced "placas", the graffiti tradition of Mexican-Americans living in East Los Angeles. Dating back to at least the mid-1930's, Placas (or plaques) were much like a role call, symbols of territorial street boundaries and pledges of allegiance to one's neighborhood. Not a gang member himself, he started his career tagging in the L.A. riverbed. He is acknowledged as one of the first modern writers to take graffiti out of the 'gang' context and into a mural/art context. 

A master calligrapher, he is world renowned for his development of the old English based font known as West Coast "Cholo" style writing. His zoot-suited skull icon, inspired by Mexican folk art and the Aztec tradition, is known as Senőr Suerte (Mr. Luck) and has been adopted by individuals as a gangster image of protection from death. His work has been exhibited throughout the world and hangs in top museums including the Smithsonian and The Los Angeles Museum of Art.

After more than decade of tagging in the streets in the 1970's and early 1980's he came to a deeper need to understand the motivations behind this modern art form. In 1979 he embarked on a 3 year round-the-world journey, visiting 35 countries to study how graphics and letters describe culture. This exploration led him to ask: Does graffiti art have intent, purpose, cultural identity, history and unity? Who owns the public space and who has the right to speak and be heard?.

POSE II IS MR. MAXX MOSES
 
As an original member of the world famous FX CREW, one of the most recognized groups of international graffiti artists in the world, Pose has propelled his style and influence outside the stars and stripes of the United States.  Amsterdam, Belgium, Paris and Japan have all been blessed with murals and exhibitions from this deep brother. A "prophet of self-education", he describes his mission as, "to change the negative point of view held by critics who lack any real insight about graffiti and the impact it has on the world."
 
In 1976 he adopted the tag Pose II and graffiti art became the cornerstone of his style. Pose II presently co-owns and operates an art gallery "Living In Perfect Style" where international artists and designers are featured. He is part of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, which holds the record for the most murals painted in any city throughout the world.

The original Members of the FX Crew are Per One, Pose II, Cope II, King Bee, Nomad, Serve, T-Kid. They were the first to start spraying on the school yard in Webster Ave. within the Bronx. Pose II and Per One came up with the Name FX standing for effects. There was no leader within the crew so that new members were accepted by a democratic vote. Criteria such as name recognition and personality were most relevant.  Over the course of the next 2 to 3 years more writers were accepted to join. At around 1994 the crew consisted of the following members: Per One, Pose II, T-Kid, Cope II, Ces, Clark, Snow, Sub, Poem, King Bee, Serve. In the summer of 1996, Daim and Hesh came to New York and were introduced to the FX Crew by Poem before being accepted as members just as Loomit had been affiliated with the crew by Poem even before that. In 2002 Peeta from Italy and Duck from Belgium joined.

MEAR ONE (33THIRD RESIDENT ARTIST)

 
Our Monthly Resident Artist Mear One is one of the legendary figures of Los Angeles graffiti culture, famously known for his often-political street graffiti art. Commonly referred to as the 'Michelangelo' of graffiti, Mear One is commonly associated with CBS (Can't Be Stopped - City Bomb Squad) and WCA (West Coast Artist) crews. As a graphic designer, Mear One has designed apparel for Conart, Kaotic, as well as his own Reform brand. Mear One has done album covers for artists like Limp Bizkit, Busdriver and Daddy Kev.

In 2004, Mear One joined artists Shepard Fairey and Robbie Conal to create a series of "anti-war, anti-Bush" posters for a street art campaign called "Be the Revolution" for the art collective Post Gen.  Together they placed more than 1,500 politically charged posters around Los Angeles, "kicking the political-street-art scene into overdrive." Mear One believes that if there is no dialogue, then the painting has lost its purpose and only serves those who can afford to mix art and leisure. Instead, he creates art that serves the people.

Growing up poor in Hollywood, being bused from one broken neighborhood to another, shaped Mear One's vision allowing him to witness a wide range of graffiti and urban murals. The public nature of graffiti immediately captivated him because it created a place where he found acceptance by rebelliously expressing himself, and he became a member of the infamous CBS (Can't Be Stopped) Crew. Today his graffiti and fine art continues to illuminate his dissattification with big business, war for profit and injustice in society.

CHORBOOGIE

 
Though Chor Boogie uses spray cans to create his art, he insists that he is worlds away from his days of tagging for street cred-whether or not that stance appeals to the hipsters who view his art. He describes the evolution as a movement away from vandalism to the fine arts of aerosol, a world that creates rather than diminishes, proposing a positive approach to the world rather than a negative one. Never a letter form man, Chor Boogie's characters range from soulful, deftly shaded portraits to happy, smiley flowers, with geometric elements adding up to half-hidden faces, and a huge eyeball or two to encourage you to see.

Chor Boogie has stated that there is spiritual love for what I do, an approach based more in feelings than in thought. There is no color he doesn't use, he says, as he creates a wide range of forms using an inverted spray can technique, which slows the pressure of the paint and creates denser,richer tones. And though it would seem that not limiting his color palette could result in an almost violent barrage of hues and forms-within-forms, Chor Boogie has developed a sense of order in his layers of work.

FRAME
Frame started writing graffiti in the fall of 1983 and continues to paint to this day. Although not as active as he once was in the streets, he believes that to be seen as a graffiti writer, he still needs to be out there in the trenches from time to time to keep things real for himself.

Frame started out with some of the most influential writers back in the early days such as Charlie from the Down To Kill crew (DTK), Dream (SMD), Crime aka Rick One from the Los Angeles Bomb Squad and founder of Kill To Succeed crew (K2S), Defer K2S, Prime K2S, Miner of the West Coast Artists (WCA), Risky WCA, Chase of the Under Cover Artists (UCA), and Geo One of Todays Writing Artists (TWA).
In 1988 Frame started painting with Charlie DTK and the both of them started a campaign of train, freeway, and yard painting through out the Los Angeles area and by 1990 they were producing about 500 pieces a year between the both of them.

Also in 1988 Frame along with help of several others started organizing the first of several Graffiti Art events of it's kind in Los Angeles. The "Los Angeles Graffiti Art Expo" was a huge success and eventually the event grew to over 3000 attendees by 1993. Writers and artists from all over the world made it a yearly event to attend.

Currently Frame now organizes a similar annual event now called the "West Coast Graffiti Party" and since the first one back in 2006, the event is growing and soon will become the largest event of its kind in the Los Angeles area. Plans for WCGP 2008 are in the works now.

THE NASTY TERRIBLE T-KID 170

 
T-KID (or Terrible T-KID 170) is a well-known graffiti artist from the Bronx, New York. He first got his start during the 1970s, tagging the name "King 13" every time he'd win a challenge, performing daredevil tricks on swings in local parks. He was a short lived member of a gang called the Bronx Enchanters, who would mark their territory by tagging walls and hanging red converse shoes on all of the light poles. As well as The Renegades of Harlem, where he learnt how to really paint trains. He is the president of TNB (The Nasty Boyz) crew and ex-president of TVS (The Vamp Squad), one of the most notorious New York graffiti crews. T-KID is still active and his work can be seen in the Bronx as well as around the world. He is also a member of MAC crew from Paris. T-Kid was originally asked to be the narrator for the Hip-Hop documentary Style Wars but he declined.
 
More recently T-Kid has appeared in Marc Ecko's 2006 video game, Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. Also in the book "The Terrible Nasty T-Kid 170," which chronicles the artist's life from childhood to the present and features pictures of his work by graffiti photographer Henry Chalfant.  He was also a member of the MOTUG collective (Monsters of the Unda - Ground) that included Futura, Doze Green, Ces, Ghost, Ewok, Toofly, NYC Lase, Dizmology, and Shepard Fairey.
