Epic (Akeam)...definitely one of the best writers of his generation! Funky fresh styles with more aliases than you can poke a stick at! Epick, Epitome, Epidemick, Oktopus, Slam, Freedom, Ruffneck and probably more... So why he didn't get more representation in the Kings Way book is beyond me!
No they aren't, if you call a "couple" of them having pics that are 3x1 cm in size a pic and the rest being listed in the back listing???! look at your copy again bloke! It should of been called the wca dma hall of fame book.
moz and sadi have only just located by there own crews in the past 12 mnths-sadi-cruze-moz pics were non existant until after the book Kingsway came out-when the elusive Fantom photo albums emerged-i was there when Puz said he wished he`d located the boys earlier-as it would have made the o/g hursty story more accurate
bang em up man-hursty line history is already biased-mda-tku-nka-sgt were major contributors in early melbs/hursty graff history-have you got any of the yellow`n`gold panels done in macca yards-84-85ish??or the swals or yankee pieces??sodapop snoopy guppy or better still got any bo the snout catcher pix??and what about thebloke who had from eltham to macca covered by himself 83 onwards??
Got a few from macleod lay up, bo the snout catcher in watsy tunnel next to red rooster on grimshaw st, dont know the eltham - macleod bloke. early smash, tdk, solar etc etc, i'll try to find them.
That Epick piece 2nd from the top is madness

ReplyDeleteThat photo with the Aset chromie is probably the earliest shot I've seen of that wall. What year was that done in?
ReplyDeletewas done in 1988
ReplyDeleteHeaps of good old school writers were left out of that book, Epik, Smut, Mags, Moz, Sadi etc etc. Too bad really, do a book oldschooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll those writers are in the book dingbat.
