{exhibit} 'Real as Fuck' by COPE 2 (via The Fake Store) in Montreal





From September 1st to 30th 2011, Boutique FAKE Montréal celebrates the works of legendary american writer, COPE2.
Exclusive artwork and limited edition products will be available.

Join us on September 1st for the special opening of this instore project: 68 Rachel East, Montreal, from 5-9pm. Music by Dj WALLA P, Hosted by DL Jones.

Born in 1968, New York City native Cope2 currently lives in the Bronx. Cope2’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in museums, galleries and auctions throughout the United States and abroad.
He is a self taught artist who is a celebrated figure for over 30 years in the graffiti art culture. One of New York City’s most prolific graffiti artists, he began tagging his name in the South Bronx in 1978. He developed his style in the subways and streets of the Bronx creating graffiti productions throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s achieving international recognition for his distinctive style. In recent years Cope2 has been commissioned by Time Magazine and designed a set of sneakers for Converse and a full collection for Adidas. He has worked with Steiner Sports collaborating with the New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter producing graffiti on memorabilia. His work has even crossed into the virtual realm with appearances in video games such as Mark Eckos: Getting up and Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto IV.

Today, you can catch Cope2 in the studio painting, bringing his raw energy into abstract masterpieces, intertwined with his trademark bubble letters and tags on canvases. He has also delved into curating successful group exhibitions. Cope2 crosses between art world, mainstream and street culture alike.

This event is part of the Can You Rock festival (www.canyourock.org).

recap of GRAFFITI EN EL BARRIO

Yesterday i took an unusual stroll uptown in harlem to check out GRAFFITI EN EL BARRIO which was a show featuring a few notables in the graffiti scene. I had the honor and pleasure in running into poineer JAMES TOP who passed on some OG knowledge on HIP HOP culture and the future of Graffiti. We had a very interesting conversation on rebuilding the culture and we have a big project in the works, stay tuned..

Exclusive preview of the new KWEENZ DESTROY collection.

Bronx made graffiti lady INDIE 184 hits us with her new KWEENZ DESTROY "bubble gum hottie" collection. It is now the return of the 80's b-boy/b-girl lifestyle. So to all the aspiring B-girls or female writers out there,I think this collection is worth taking a look at-especially the Graffitti piece denim vest.
