MAINTAIN'S WRITER OF THE WEEK: AXIS CBS, VT, TFL,

Its been a while since I highlighted any graffiti artist on the Maintain Blog. For all of you that don't know how I go about doing this. The Maintain writer of the week is a tribute to Los Angeles graffiti writers that have been doing their thing consistently for 20 years plus. This week I would like to showcase some of AXIS CBS art work. He has been a staple in the L.A. graffiti scene for decades and has a very clean and original style that can only be attributed to him. He is among one of my favorite graffiti artist. Big ups to axis.

GAW Yard

I was by the yard today and notice some new work went up so i decided to flick it. I am realydigging the GZER and Brek characters as well as their pieces, Prone had some burners in there and KRUZ still has some of his funky letters next to KFUE. Minz is representing with a GAW piece he rocked... I am digging what i am seeing. I think the next spell out should be GODS ANGRY WRATH.

Duce repaints Santa Monica wall

Working on a new wall... I dropped the characters and started on my piece. I am using the last of my Plutonium G spray paint... This paint is so good. I am happy to here that they are bringing it back.

-Duce

Santa Monica "DUCE" wall.

The other day I was driving by one of my walls and notice a local artist had claim a little spot next to my piece... I don't know what world this guy lives in but that is a complete no, no. You or anybody, including my self should never claim a spot on some ones wall if you where not invited to do so by the artists who had work on the wall before you. So I slapped a quick character over his image. The end result kind of works but it still does not make the other artist actions ok.
