Sorry for the lack of updates recently. We’ve been really busy out hittin’ spots, by that I mean snappin flicks at some hot spots. So get ready for all of that.
Anyways, here’s another teaser clip of the new graff/fight flick comin’ out soon called War 4. Two TKO members do a huge TKO roller around the 91/110 interchange. Enjoy!
The whole War videos aren’t really “my thing”. I’m more into the graff than the fights and skating, but whatever. Anyways, this hot new teaser clip of the new War 4 video coming out soon shows Buket from the ultra-infamous crew TKO sliding off the side of a bridge on the 101 freeway and spraying a throw-up in broad daylight. Cars zooming by and all. Enjoy!
The organisers of a spoof British art competition claim they have caught the guerrilla artist Banksy trying to out-spoof them.
The judges of the annual Turnip Prize were far from impressed by a professional-looking entry they suspect came from the secretive Bristol graffiti artist. Under the strict entry criteria for the pastiche competition the artists must have spent as little time on their work as possible.
Suspicion has mounted about the identity of the artist since the artwork was dumped outside the New Inn pub in Somerset. The pub has been running its own annual art prize as an antidote to the “pretentious” Turner Prize since 1999.
The anonymous entry bears all the sardonic hallmarks of Banksy, the anonymous street artist whose work now sells to wealthy collectors for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The painting shows a stencilled Mona Lisa firing a turnip from a bazooka. The rocket-launched vegetable is shown flying over a seaside pier below the word ‘Banksea’.

In what looks to be the only company profiting from southern California vandals, Graffiti Tracker has yet another contract in southern California. The city of Montclair, CA has spent some dough on graffiti abatement.
The City Council unanimously approved a one-year contract on Monday with a company that will study, analyze and help police reduce graffiti in the city.
The city hired Graffiti Tracker Inc. to supply police with GPS monitors to identify tagging in specific areas of the city.
Police Chief Chester Thompson said the GPS markers will help police direct enforcement toward areas where graffiti has increased or where gang rivalries are found.
“Graffiti is getting out of hand and getting costly,” said Councilwoman Carolyn Raft at Monday night’s meeting.
The council also approved spending $100,000 from a state grant to buy additional police equipment.
The expenditure from State Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funds provides 12 mobile video recorders, a forensic evidence recovery tool and a mapping tool for the department.

HAHAHA! Oh man. If you read anything from me today let it be this!!
So, to sum it up. These kids at a graphic arts technical school are trying to beat an official Guinness World Record titled “Longest Graffiti Scroll”. You can get information about it here.
Anyways, I wonder if they know about SABER’s Unofficial World Record for the World’s Largest Graffiti Piece, measuring a staggering 250′ x 55′ (nearly the size of a football field) and took 125 gallons of latex roller paint to complete. Even though SABER’s piece isn’t in the Guinness World Records it definitely should be mentioned when talking about largest graffiti anything!
In closing, I propose that SABER’s masterpiece be nominated for what it deserves!
Bergen County Technical High School students will continue trying today to break the Guinness world record for the longest graffiti scroll.
The graphic design students from the school’s Paramus campus began spray-painting messages and quotes about safe teenage driving Thursday on paper scrolls. Their goal is to paint the graffiti on at least 2,000 feet of the paper.
A selection of messages has been chosen, including “Trustworthiness — No Drinking and Driving” and “Did you know that car accidents are the leading cause of deaths in our age bracket?”
But by day’s end, the students were still a bit short, reaching 1,500 feet, said teacher Karen Waller.
Disappointment set in when the 18 students thought they’d failed to beat the 1,858-foot-long record set in June by Procter & Gamble Balkans in Bucharest, Romania, she said.
Waller researched the Guinness rules, though, and determined “there’s nothing that says we can’t do it over the course of two days.”

You know. If you dig enough around the net you can find him. Not that hard at all. Or maybe I’m just good at tracking info down on the net. Either way here’s the story.
Hip British graffiti artist Bansky, whose true identity has long remained a mystery, was thrust into the spotlight Wednesday after the publication of a snatched picture allegedly of him at work.
A man believed to be Banksy, whose works sell for tens of thousands of pounds around the world, was caught on camera working on a new picture in an east London street, according to The Times.
His latest work depicts a huge sunflower, formed by diverting the double yellow parking lines from a street gutter across a pavement up onto the side of a house, flanked by a picture of a paint-roller wielding artist.
But the artist himself was believed to have been caught at work for the first time, by a passerby who took a picture on his mobile phone camera, the daily said.
“We never confirm or deny whether any image shows Banksy,” a spokesman for the artist told The Times, which printed the photo of a black-haired man in jeans a camouflage jacket, with a pollution-protecting mask on his head.

I remember finding some videos on YouTube a while back showing this one crazy guy who slides out of the windows while the train is moving and jumps on top and screws around, graffin all the while. I think it was in the Dirty Handz videos. Crazy stuff, I’ll post them if I can find them again. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the guy, but could be related somehow. Anyways, on with the news.
THIS is Perth’s teenage train-surfing graffiti vandal in action.
The boy’s nine-month tagging spree came to an end in July when he was charged with numerous trespass and vandalism offences.
He cannot be identified because he was a juvenile at the time the offences were committed.
But in court yesterday, he admitted to scrawling graffiti on trains and other railway property.
Security video shows the boy clinging to the back of a train while he tags the window.
The teenager was fined more than $6000, which included a $5000 contribution toward cleaning graffiti from the trains and property he had vandalised.
His sentencing coincided with an unrelated police operation which targeted graffiti vandals who were allegedly planning to tag trains and City of Perth property in Halloween damage spree.
Acting on information, Police Rail Unit officers and Perth police arrested 20 people during the two day crackdown across the metropolitan rail network, codenamed Operation Trackside 59.
