While I plan to go to Chaka's exhibit, I think what appears to be a reprinted bio of Chaka is a bit overly laudatory of him as a tagger - and makes me wonder if you lived in LA during his reign of spray can terror. <br /><br />When you tag 10,000 times, much of it stopped having aesthetic value and was more or less a sloppy stain of a tag from a guy who was a compulsive tagger. <br /><br />Chaka was a spray and dash tagger at best during his actual reign of tagging terror on Los Angeles.<br /><br />While you're right in saying he was admired by taggers for being ubiquitous and he reach tagger folk hero status for being so brazen and prolific, taken individually, the vast majority of his tags could hardly be appreciated for having any style and dare I say, lacked any artistic merit. <br /><br />They were sloppy, hastily thrown up tags by an 18 year old far more interested in covering ground than he was interested in the aesthetic of the ground he covered. Sure he was a departure from Wild Style of NY, because frankly at 18 he lacked any style beyond obsession with tagging every surface he could as fast as possible - going so far as to tag the elevator on the way out of the courtroom upon initial sentencing. <br /><br />At his height, it was estimated he produced 10-50K tags in his relatively short career of maybe 3-4 years tops. Averaging as high as 50 tags a day - most barely decipherable even by tagging afficianados. <br /><br />Since his arrest in 1991, a major revisionism has occurred regarding his body of work. <br /><br />The images you publish of Chaka's tags are hardly representative of what Chaka's tagging actually looked like - as they all seem to be commissioned works produced long after he faded from the collective consciousness due to his street career being ended by law enforcement - 18 YEARS AGO. <br /><br />This is the quintessential Disney-fication of Chaka and while its exciting to see a legendary tagger actually have a legit art exhibit, his legacy should be given its proper perspective as he tended to veer street art away from concerns of the aesthetic and more toward the notoriety of massive scale - as he fostered plenty of emulators.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981072850558762438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984214286294144509.post-34788125100529004222009-04-18T15:34:00.000-07:002009-04-18T15:34:00.000-07:00Yeah the painting you showed is very intruiging......Yeah the painting you showed is very intruiging....Momo Luna S!gnalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170657311754852851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984214286294144509.post-28532172864399816182009-03-30T10:35:00.000-07:002009-03-30T10:35:00.000-07:00Looks AMAZING!!Looks AMAZING!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735092205404602814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984214286294144509.post-68167548557372126482009-03-27T10:19:00.000-07:002009-03-27T10:19:00.000-07:00so amazing..so amazing..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984214286294144509.post-60734994800207879402009-03-25T18:37:00.000-07:002009-03-25T18:37:00.000-07:00Cannot wait, thanks for posting the trailer, looks...Cannot wait, thanks for posting the trailer, looks great.Tillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852190433461642947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984214286294144509.post-57217732804529262262009-03-25T07:32:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:32:00.000-07:00Cool!! -BrysonCool!! -BrysonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862850133449581819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984214286294144509.post-30627164186894022382009-03-23T19:01:00.000-07:002009-03-23T19:01:00.000-07:00I was attempting to play into the underground aspe...I was attempting to play into the underground aspect of how this is being marketed... so that those in the know get it, and those that don't have to search it out... but alas, some don't get it and have announced that "Lydia Fong" (aka Robert Pimple) is indeed the one and only Barry McGee.
