New comic book: TEEL ONE - Chicago: Modern Urban Legends

 
Modern Urban Legends

Momentum Art Tech brings the gritty passion and often misunderstood graffiti world to life comic-book-style with Modern Urban Legends, the first comic book series visualizing the realities and harshness of graffiti-writing culture.  This story, written by artist TEEL ONE, is artistically created to open your eyes on this overshadowed society. 

Hundreds of books and magazines have told the story and documented graffiti culture, but this is the first comic book series based on real life stories from one of Chicago's most well-known graffiti writers. The series portrays the challenges its main character, RAZE faces in school, with his peers and living this underground lifestyle. Creatively designed visuals support the story with background tags and subtle references to past and current writers and artists.

Modern Urban Legends is the first edition in this series and was designed for both the graffiti writers and those looking for more insight into this world. The ten-page story can be purchased for $3 at the store or ordered by contacting Momentum Art Tech at 1-773-441-4842 or via email at Momentumarttech@gmail.com

Zombies are everywhere – they threaten the existence of mankind in movies, novels, music and games and reflect the growing fears of the people for diseases, epidemics, nuclear war and death. The interest in the undead heroes of the pop culture is growing since the first popular zombie films in the 60s. These creatures also fascinated WON ABC from Munich at very early stage and inspired him to his own unique zombie characters. Thanks to him, zombies were also introduced in urban art. His debut Colour Kamikaze from 1991 impressed with its affinity for undead beings and with its filigree and impressive attention for detail, which even H.R. Giger paid tribute to. Zombielove is the long-awaited follow-up to that first book by WON.

[Won's first book was the most work I've ever seen in one art book. Won's art is so detailed it rewards the careful viewer every time you look at one of his pieces. Each illustration, every canvas and train is an amazing masterpiece. It's exciting that he's got another one out! Don't miss it. - Susan]

Denmark, Copenhagen: Oct 15, 2010: Comics battle graffiti

Ny udstilling i Graffitigalleriet i København.

Fernisering i graffitigalleriet fredag den 15. oktober 2010 mellem kl. 17-21 (kulturnatten).

Endnu et mindblowing og nytænkende billedshow i graffitigalleriet.dk i samarbejde med comicgarden.dk

GRAFFITIGALLERIET ønsker med udstillingen at stille skarpt på den særdeles udbredte brug af comic eller comic-inspirerede figurer i den New York baserede graffiti og stiller med et stærkt hold.

Fire malere, alle 'sortbælte-sprayere' udi disciplinen at bringe liv til comic-karakterer på mure og lærreder, har hver produceret fem værker på 40 x 40 cm, som exponerer noget af det ypperste indenfor figur-maling.

De fire - CRAZ, SKINY, OBEE og Mr. FRAK, har således lagt sig i selen og præsterer små genistreger med deres innovative fortolkninger af konceptet.

COMICGARDEN stiller med eye candy for  kræsne kendere såvel som måbende menigmænd - en tour de force af originale tegneseriestriber og andet guf.

Her er der mulighed for at registrere de helt grundlæggende og originale figurers æstetiske særkender og indlysende, velkendte kvaliteter.

Lige siden den forkætrede bemaling af New Yorks Subway-toge tog fart op gennem 1970erne, har figurer været fast inventar i graffiti-malerier.

Kridt danseskoene og step til GRAFFITIGALLERIET, der med dette show endnu engang markerer sig som landets mest banebrydende og originale billedhus, altid med fingeren på pulsen, altid tro og oprigtige mod gadens glade, gudsbenådede grafiske genistreger.

Se dine favorit-figurer i den mest originale form via COMICGARDENS tilskud af nye og ældre 'striber' og nyd hvordan malerne formår at klone, mutere, sample og megamixe diverse stilelementer fra figurer vi alle kender, til nye, freshe og konstant overraskende helheder!

Vær der eller vær firkantet som DSBs opfattelse af fænomenet graffiti!
