Shadi caught one of New Yorks top bombers in action last winter.
I decided to go out and take photos at 5am during the
snow storm and I noticed a shadowy figure in the darkness was doing his
thing. I noticed him one second and the next he was gone. A few days
later I noticed what he finished what he started.

For some reason, the rules never meant anything to David Choe growing
up. As a matter of fact, the rebellious Korean-American graffiti artist
could care less about his grades or the law. Instead, the troubled young
truant would play hooky and shoplift to ply his craft day or night on
walls all over the City of Los Angeles. This meant that he had no
problem stealing cans of spray paint and trespassing in order to deface
public or private property.
He explains his personal philosophy as... Continue reading ...
