While searching for insiring artists I came across this flyer about a graffiti great comming to LA to presenting some of his work. The Legendary COPE2 has been a prominent writter and has contributed to graffiti's success. He is most famous for being the first graffiti artists to go worldwide with his work signing a deal to put his pieces on the cover of TIME Magazine. So I jumped on a chance to meet one of the best artists graffiti has ever seen. What interested me about COPE2 is that his style of pieces are traditional NYC graffiti style. He has a tradmark NYC style that is rare now a days. The graffiti alphabet has changed and evolved so much from the early 80's to present, so it's unique to find somebody who has mastered the art of NYC graff. Another aspect of his work is the color layouts he uses. He uses a wide array of colors in his can pallete. He is one of the old school artists who has perfected the "Wild Style" art of graffiti. COP2 is a true legend.
