ATG > everyone else - An Empire Strikes Back...or something.

I'm walking into the lions den here. You, the graff mafia, are the lions and I am the potty-mouth kitten skipping mindlessly to my death. But before you toss me away like a used tampon why not throw a bitch a bone here.

ATG is more than just a graff crew, that much is obvious. They're not riding the brief wanker wave of street art going overground when overexcited Shoreditch trendies creamed their pants over a piss-poor stencil of Gordon Brown getting bummed by a monkey or summat. An ATG may get buffed while the chimp sodomy creation gets flogged as 'public art' but we all know who has more integrity. It's a quiet and well established legacy you'll unknowingly be a fan of if you live in London...Unless of course you are blind, in which case stop wanking.

Though the graffiti world runs side by side with music and fashion culture it somehow always seems to get less attention, maybe its the veil of anonymity that its worked behind or it lacks the bravado and attention seeking of spitting bars. So what the fuck am I getting at you ask?

Well its pretty clear that the boys are branching out and have had their fingers in lots of opportunity pies- clothing pies, music pies, putting on nights where people get wonky and fall over pies, gallery pies etc. etc. But while they're not busy fingering pies, every up and coming empire needs a voice, truesay? So here be beauty on brick work, trains, tees and in galleries from ATG and I be ummm mouthiness? And I know how you anonymous commenters love to share your opinion/ leave hate so lend me your thoughts. What do you wanna hear from ATG? Can y'all read or want to read? Interviews? Rants? Deep analysis of tags on dustbins? I'm at your service so tell us what you want to read...or tell me to fuck off innit.

KTHANXBYE!
