The Modern Art Kids Crew, in Lost.
Eyeone of the Seeking Heaven crew in L.A. was kind enough to send me a copy of a beautifully-designed book he just produced called Lost: Graffiti in the City of Angels. This photo-heavy spiral hardback features a decade’s worth of L.A. graffiti and covers more ground than anyone with a set of four wheels and a camera could possibly hope to do.
Los Angeles, with its endless miles of concrete riverbeds, industrial drain pipes, arroyos and alleyways is a great location for graff, but unless you know where the heck you’re going, you can spend a lot of time looking at nothing. This book, however, is a great chronicle of both new and older works in places the average person would never find on their own. A lot of the pieces are long gone, produced by artists who are also gone. Thankfully for the rest of us, their work has been well recorded.

gorgeous! The Atlas piece is incredibly calligraphic… do you know if the book will be in the bookstores anytime soon?
