Graffiti 24/7

All legality issues aside, graffiti has come a very long way since the late 70's. Now ever-present in the age of information, the medium has exploded into hyper-drive. Sites like tslfilms.com (The Seventh Letter films) showcase masters executing incredible works in a time-lapse fashion.





Most world-renown graffiti artists also have websites showcasing their work which they update frequently. All things that make it easier to enjoy the art form, no matter when or where you are.

I will suggest a walk around your neighbourhood, of course, but if you'd rather—and instantly—travel the world following a specific artist's work, now you can. Above are samples from Revok's own website. Find his portal through time and space here.

Images: A fresh piece (short for master-piece) by Revok in England; Quick fills (fill-ins, throw-ups, etc...) by KC, Nekst and Revok in Texas; Rollers (large block-style letters done with paint rollers) by Augor and Revok in Los Angeles; and, a large collaboration spelling-out "MSKingsHaulin'Ass" which translates to: Mad Society Kings Hauling Ass (MSK is the name of the formerly Los Angeles-based, now international graffiti crew or collective that Revok is part of.) That piece was done in England by Revok with Roid and Aroe.
