I’m Jeffrey V. Korn and I’m a gamblero.
FPBS : We are only day’s away from 2009 , with graffiti being such a major outlet for
most business’s , and such a mainstream art form , what is your take on the graffit
movement now as oppose to 15 years ago?KORN1 : When it comes to graffiti in mainstream culture I really don’t know much. I know it has it’s part in the fashion scene but that’s about all I know.
The one thing that’s definitely different about the NYC graff scene now than 15 years ago is that there aren’t as many New Yorkers bombing anymore. I would estimate at least 75% of the work being done in Manhattan and Brooklyn is done by writers who aren’t from here. Queens and the Bronx are mostly done by locals because most writers don’t give a shit about getting up in Queens and they’re too shook to go to the Bronx. Smart crew is one of the only native New York crews that still paints all boroughs. There are a few others but not many.
we are looking for writers from the 70′s &80′s to be invovled with the James Top/ Hip Hop USA. Limited Sneaker Collection if you are interested please contact me @jamestop2007@yahoo.com Thank You.
