I am from Chicago one of the most overlooked cities when it comes to graffiti or anything else.I started taking pictures of graffiti in the fall of 05' and instantly got hooked. My goal is to put Chicago on the map to show that not only L.A. and New York have a thriving graffiti scene. One day i plan to turn this hobby into a 9 to 5.
I want to show people the many wonders this world has to offer through my photography. I want to expose them to the things they turn a blind eye to on a daily basis to make them realize that there is more to the world then the cubicle that surrounds them.
Making my usual rounds on flickr i came across a RIP Surer on MAKIN DEALS ZINE and my heart sank dude had style. I never met him but his style was sick if you walk around some parts of the city you can probably find a surer sticker or two.A Master of the chisel tip he passed away fighting for the Red,white and Blue. I tip my hat to you for fighting in the armed forces and giving your life to make our life easier here in the states.

Another hard hit for the Chicago graffiti community with the untimely and tragic death of Sole UAC.I didn't know him personally, but it still hit close to home. We have lost too many great artist over the last couple year and it seems they all seem to go in tragic ways. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
