THE EXCHANGE BOOK PREVIEW














































































On The Run Book # 8: THE EXCHANGE

Acclaimed graffiti collective The Exchange has created a stir with a dynamic style dialogue. The idea behind the project is for members to pair up, trade sketches and rock diverse styles outside of their usual comfort zones. These experiments are then posted online to be applauded and critiqued by members. A verbal and visual style assault from some of the finest active writers across the globe: EWOK, REVOK, RIME, PERSUE, YES 2, POSE, STAE 2, SNOW, BATES, SERCH, POET, KACAO 77, SCOTTY 76, ASKEW (just to name a few). This book is jam-packed with expert style antics. You might want to get your sketchbooks out and start taking notes.

Bates-Stae2


Yo Bates, thanks for the fresh outlines..
I painted this sketch you had given me way back the other day. I made small tweaks to reflect my style into the sketch as well as fit in the given space- it was real fun to paint. I liked how you had the suggestive 3d on the sketch and played with that feel as well. Hope you dig!

ROIDS Sketch By RIME

Here is a Roids that was a rough pencil sketch in my book from a few months back. I didn't finish it back then because I got bored with it. The other day i was flipping through the sketch book and got interested in it again. This is what I came up with...

Yo CAKES!


What's going on Cakes...here's some sketches I managed to sketch for you, hope you dig it

Host18 paint SWK sketch






This piece is painted in my secret truck spot in Queens, NY. I trooped it out there driving my bike so the amount of paint I was able to bring was at a minimum. I noticed SWK often uses bold bright colors in his pieces, so that’s what I decided to go for.

I threw the sketch up keeping it almost exact to the sketch that Swk provided for me. I then got in there and started a new layer of sketch tweaking it here and there to add a little of myself to the letters. The letters were fun and easy to play with and I had a good time putting down the bright colors, when all was said and done I threw up the Exchange logo and called it a day within a couple of hours.

Thanks for the cool sketches SWK.
