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

From a post that we had done several years back, his photo of the Pumpkins was snatched off of this site and placed all over the internet via blogs like Vibe and Complex. He continues to do one of the many things he is so talented at….. Hittin’ people hard with his skills!

@149th Street is a wealth of information for the Graff connoisseur. There is not a question of their authenticity to the World Wide Graff Web!

So, it is always good to see a book published about New York for the World.
It just makes a ‘riter smile!!

“Decades after the movement globalized, New York is still the mecca of
graffiti culture. Painting there is a badge of honor, with graffiti
artists from around the globe making pilgrimages to New York for that
purpose. This is the city where it all began, yet few know the back
story. Graffiti New York fills that gap, detailing the concepts,
aesthetics, ideals, and social structures that have served as a
cultural blueprint for graffiti movements across the world. The book
features approximately 1,000 images, complemented by texts by the
authors and relevant players in the movement, as well as descriptive
graphics and sidebars. Ranging from the birth of simple signature tags
to today’s vibrant murals, and covering the ups and downs of the
movement, the culture’s value system, its social framework, the
various forms of graffiti, and significant artists and crews, Graffiti
New York is a major addition to Abrams’ superb books on graffiti art.”

Yo my man cut the shit with your bull shit. I`m going to tell you something..I didn’t pay that incident any mind till that day we were painting together with cope in that school yard. I listen very carefully to what you said that day and your own words led me to believe what I felt in my gut for the longest.
You came looking for me to get into the yard not the other way around.PAL!!! so rethink that set up shit and be forth coming and get honest with yourself.. I see  your ego is bigger then you and you think I live in your world pal.. I will put something on u tube just for you pal. Dont forget its a small world and you and ass holes like you always get what they got coming to them.  So make your fucking threats sell your books pal and then be the true lil self centerd piece of shit you are and suck my dick. You never did anything for me and you never got me to go to EUROPE and I want to thank you for the heads up you fucking RAT MOTHER fucker. You think you got shit on me…lol.. Duded all I can say is that you know and I know I never ratted on any one.. Can you say the same. If your so famous and untouchable and not a rat why did you make such a big deal..Hmmmm makes me wonder. Another thing apparently that  high school you and your Boy Joe River ( Vandal Squad retired) went to.. does not teach reading comprehension..I wrote in my book that I believe in my gut that you set me up that day. but from your behavior I now know you did set me up. . So Pal listen to me and listen to me good. I let go of the ego a long time ago and I dont care what doors you open close or what ever.. do your worst pal . I come from nothing and know how to live with nothing and crumbs is what I`m use to. Just like every real artist. In the end my friend I will be part of history and my fame will live forever and you my friend  will always be famous but  a Rat!!!  You went around bad mouthing me and tried to get others to deal with me..lol and that did not work. Now you send me a e-mail with numbers and figures and treats.Lol. I see that it sucks being a rat.. I know your conflict is not with me but with yourself.. It ok Rich I forgive you bro. But eventually you will have to deal with the all mighty and the truth will come out then..You fucked over a lot of people in your life time and you will continue to do so. Oh and all the fucked up shit you did and the way you puusied up at the tattoo shop will be in my new book.. Yea I got one too..lol including this letter..
TKID
PS. I will forward a copy of this letter to everyone Magazines galleries.That way they can see what a piece of shit you really are I hope they print it and let the battle begin.. Pal I didn`t start this.. YOU DID !!! By being a fucking Rat!!

T-kid,

This will be the only time i will write you and say this, hopefully you
will take this serious if you intend to stay in the graffiti game.

You crossed the line and made accusations in your book about me being a
rat, we both know this is not true. Why you felt the need to say this is
beyond me, unless you are jelous of my stature in the graffiti world or
was it damage control and you felt you needed to dump it on someone else
before you were exposed of being the real rat. Well, we both know it was a
set up that night, and we both know the truth about who the rat is.

What i am getting at is you had a book made with only 4 or 5,OOO copies
made at the most,,,,and i am sure way less than half have been sold at
this time. My book will be going into print within the next 6 months and
will be released sept,2010 the first printing of my book will be 50,000
copies, and at this time over 25,000 copies are already pre sold.

Unless i receive a public aplogie from you on U-tube i will print this
story in detail of that night in the 4 yard and accuss you of being the
rat that night along with other further dirt i found about you in the
past.

I beleive this is what is called an eye for an eye.

remember one thing i dident start this you did, and im willing to go the
whole mile. In the past i only helped you get through the doors to eroupe,
but, i see you forgot about that,,,,just remember im in europe now and i
have much pull in the countries i wish to work in, i could have the most
important doors closed in your face here leaving you only crumbs in a shit
hole show if i need to, and i will if i have too. For sure youll never
have anything of importance happening for you in paris. thats a givin,
thats for the agravation you’ve giving me in the past. although there is
the rest of the world.

I will not reply to this letter, but if i dont hear back and get my
apologie i will print the story in my book that we all know will never
go out of print. because i am the most famous grattiti writer in the
world.

SEEN
