Ewok is an artist that has been a major asset to the graff game. Quietly this gentleman has been blazing many, many murals all in the NYC area, and keeping under the radar with some of the most unique paintings and collectable items. Ewok has been getting down for years!

Although he has been banging out styles for over a decade, Ewok continues to be a student of the game and has been unique in how he has grown in the Graff world. After observing many Graff Celebs from the Streets of NYC, he has had the chance to hang and paint with some of the biggest names in the game. He has blazed walls with the likes of Cope2, Ghost, an many many more titans. His style from the beginning has always been more of his own, not really lending itself to the traditional graff. Because he has been ‘doing his own thang’, he really hasn’t been getting the credit he’s deserved. After having a discussion with Ewok, it was mentioned that he has been going back to the roots of the culture and incorporating styles from yesteryear into his more current works. “It’s funny how I’ve been working backwards and getting into the more traditional NYC graff style as I grow older” he states.

Of all the skills Ewok has, putting out some of the most original characters and ‘mugz’ are what this man gets bizzy with. Some of the most funny, imaginative, and really eye capturing pieces are his specialty, and he often is given the task of finishing some of the biggest burners. Give Ewok a spot on the wall, and it really becomes Ewok.

So, if you know of some people that love great art or have a deep appreciation for Graff talent, then you have to get some prints! Prints are available from the artist, and they are often limited and sell out quickly.

You can find some of these offered on his website, and DirtyPilot.com

TRAINS OF THOUGHT

Trains Of Thought is a new show that features the most talented and fresh artists in the graffiti art field. The artists featured in this show have the most extensive history and talent in the graffiti community. They will be applying their skills to Giclee Trains that will be exhibited in the show, and the subjects they choose are their original thoughts.

Artists from New York City, Montreal, and all over the world will be featured in this exhibit. 60+ artists will be featured all together in this exhibit, and they will school you!

Painting a train has traditionally been something special to a graffiti writer, and is a phenomenon that is something to bare witness of. The thoughts that are being laid onto these pieces of art are exceptional and some just sophisticatedly simple.
