Description

This is a truly fascinating insight into the art, style, attitude and reasoning behind one of New York's best and most prolific graffiti artists. His importance in the scene can be signified by the fact that the original artwork from which the photos in this book were taken can still be seen adorning the city of New York. Cope 2 was very active in the 1990s and came to be knwon as the ambassador' for New York graffiti. A documentary about him released in 1999 demonstrated that it was still possible to paint New York trains despite media hype that subway graffitti was dead.'
