Belated Graffiti Fridays: Just the Facts
No long disputations today. JUst FACT and JARE.

FACT, Clybourn near North

JARE X-MEN Crew, Clybourn near North
X-MEN seems to be a big crew here. These cats are especially good at killing billboards. They have a full billboard cover over on Fullerton by the highway; I might have to hoof it over there to catch a flick for you, dear readers. The FACT throwee isn’t great, but it’s pretty good. Notice that FACT aims for consistent shapes in the F, A, and C, and that he tries to comport the bottom ends of the F and the T. The T bottom actually reminds me of TRAP’s old T’s, which he used to slap all over Central Queens and North Brooklyn in the late-1980′s:

I’m not crazy about JARE’s style, but I’ll always admire a nice clean fill in like these two. It’s also near a pretty busy spot (North and Clybourn being a big shopping district), so it’s a nice up as well.
Until next week…
