Kem5 Interview
vom 12.11.2009

"Everything came to a breaking point over the past few years with so many clean trains and spots being done the local authorities started cracking down. It goes in cycles but traditionally our city has had a zero-tolerance for graffiti. Domestically overall the States get’s it in! Over the past year certain cities and writers have really shined.  We have a great freight scene, which most other countries do not have. Internationally I think Brighton England and Australia have healthy scenes. Sorry about the bland answers. "

Estevan Oriol Interview
vom 15.06.2009

"As a hobbie, I still take pictures and film, I like to look at art, go to art shows, photo exhibitions, ride my motorcycle, lowride, hangout with the family, bbq and hangout with the kids. I also used to skateboard when I was younger at the Del Mar Skate Park, play volleyball, chess, surf, whatever. That’s pretty much it besides working."

Puppet Interview
vom 28.05.2009

"… yes it's art and yes it's vandalism! When something becomes art it dosen't mean it's always good art! It only becomes art when it's presented as art… it's easy. I think it's boring to play on that."

Cope2 Interview
vom 19.02.2009

The good people from Living Proof made a interview with NewYork based OldSchool Legend Cope2

"Nowadays, you can find COPE2 playing all the roles of a modern day graffiti writer still bombing, tagging parking structures, and ironically selling his once destructive, “ugly,�? and criminal pieces on a canvas as art. Labeled as a “sellout�? or no longer a “real writer�? by some of his contemporaries, COPE2 knows he paid his dues in the graf game. He knows that you recognize his name. He knows that he spent all that time practically branding himself. Now, it’s time for him to stick it back to the NYC mayors by turning his property-damaging and felon-catching destruction into a career."
