About Me
- Name: Ez
I travel throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn photographing graffiti. I’m fascinated by this art form. It's outside the galleries: uncontrolled, often ugly, but always urban, interesting and new. I just wander throughout this great city on foot, in buses, and by subway waiting to stumble upon some graffiti I haven’t yet seen. When I spot something that looks interesting, I snap it on my camera. Along the way I listen to music, eat food, talk to people, sit on the pavement, read books, draw tattoos on my arms, and do whatever else comes along. At the end of the day I upload my photos onto this blog, and write comments about the work. I’m hoping the blog and my photos will add up to an interesting site about current New York grafitti and street art.

Ezra! It's Deb here, Sarah’s friend... She emailed me your site because she thought I might get a kick out of it…and I do!
Your collections are mui impressive. I met this French guy in Chile who was also collecting graffiti images and he had an exhibition and raised money for some charity in Columbia with the cash, maybe I will get u in contact with him if u like...
I love graffiti art too, I took some myself throughout Argentina, and they have some very kooky graffiti and pictures. If u like this sort of stuff- I think you might also like Jhonen Vasquez a comic artist and also that mag Vice has some excellent graffiti-style art done by this Melbourne artist.
Good luck with your graffiti site, I especially like the one with the Japanese girl in the yellow gumboots outside the door and the drips are wicked too, oh yeah and the trucks are v cool.
Nice work. deb

@ deb so did your friend try and get in touch with the artists who did the pieces that he put in the "show" or did your friend just bite and make $$ and cred off of other peopls sweat? if not then that is mui not cool. in fact its a dick move and if he ever were to let it be known that he jocked peopls work to make cash then for sure he'ld catch a beat down. quickness.
