CHAPTER 1

GRAFFITI IN THE METROPOLIS OF TOKYO — Hats off to the grease pens, the paint pens, the markers, and the tip collectors for cans — if you have to ask.... The law is heavy here, so the multi-colored "magnet laden tip collector pieces" made with many late night covert magnet laden bottom spray cans hidden in baggy pant pockets is just not a big thing in Tokyo. That being said, the what is called one color chicken scratch or scribble has now become a work of art on its own here in Tokyo. This more conservative style evolved out of the constraints of money, time, and the ever present long arm of the law. Therfore, this art form is about the most artistic hand dexterity in the least amount of get hell out time — not quick and easy chicken scratch territory ganster shit.

These many street artists entertain me, teach me, inspire me, and help me to escape to a somewhat smaller & often ignored fifth dimension of the city.
