“My favorite place to eat at is Ciro’s in East L.A,” Estevan says. “It’s a small family-style restaurant, with the best jukebox in the world. The waitresses are all elderly Mexican ladies, and it feels like eating at your aunt or grandma’s house. I always order the three hard-shell taco plate (two chicken and one potato), which comes with rice and beans, jalapeno salsa, avocado salsa and chips, and jamaica to drink, ‘cause it’s the bomb.”

Our respects to old-school graffiti writer KASE 2, who just passed away at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. A South Bronx native, he was famous for inventing the “camouflage sketching” technique, for being a general style master, for getting up even with one arm, and for his role in the amazing ’80s graffiti documentary Style Wars. Our thoughts go out to this legend’s friends and family.

The dude on the left stole the KAWS piece on the right from Marc Ecko. The estimated value of the piece, which was an ad disruption featuring Kate Moss is $100,000. Wild.

With all the hype around street art recently, Art In The Streets, Taki 183′s The History of American Graffiti, we figured that the guys on the other side deserve a little attention too: the buffers. Middle-aged white men who cruise the streets of their local communities in ‘graffiti lynch mobs’ searching for tags and street art to buff out. And how are these men cleansing the streets of graffiti? By splattering, pouring, and covering the tag, throw-up, mural etc with paint. Now, doesn’t that sound like a form of graffiti?

A couple of buddies decided to follow around these self proclaimed street cleaners vigilante style catching them illegally painting other people’s property. Vigilante Vigilante premiers August 12th at the Roxy Theater in San Francisco. Here is the official trailer as well as some bonus footage.
