Aspekt Interview



How long have you been writing?
Ive been writing on walls and in school books and shit since grade 6 but I did my first throwup in 99. Came up with Aspekt in 2000 and hit my first freight in 2001. Didn't really come out of toydom til like 2005 thou.

Favorite Colour, Colours?
I love all colours, but if I had to pick one, I would pick two.. hahaha. Purple and Orange.

What do you like or dislike about Canada's Freight Scene?
Canadian freight scene is great. Like Canada doesn't have nuff walls and shit but lots of freights. So freights make it possible to get up for people where its hard to. There are a lot of people writing these days so its getting a little saturated and I see the same letters in different peoples shit but s'all good.....
Some healthy competition and seperation between whats really original and whats not.
Its good to be able to collaborate and not just write solo all the time, haha. A lot of yards and layups are getting heated out now thou, from too many people painting and people being idiots... Most yards in cities are run by crews so know your place, don't leave shit behind, don't be a loud ass clown and if your going to paint multiple panels at once don't do them right next to each other.Don't paint over dope writers, this is happening and I hate it. I won't even paint if there are no open panels (toy shit is an open panel).

Who's styles are you feeling?
I feel lots of shit too much to name but the shit that I see most is: Ebs, Cw, Voltron, AA, Kwota, Dp, Cme, Etc, Hsa, Bsm, Wcb, Nwk, More im forgetting..
Classic funk, Wildstyle or original Simples and dope Characters. Like Ich, Oringe and Kerse are up as fuck.
Man wildstyles thou... Some people don't like wildstyles on freights but I love the shit. As long as its got good letter structure. Bayse is throwing up mad wildstyles on freights, big inspiration there. I obviously love Msk and Awr.. Revok especially

Shout outs
Big shouts to all my Voltron and Ebs peoples. Gotta shout Audeo, Sumo, Law, Evoke, Ansr, 2nes, Twice and Bounce.

Fuck beef One love
Aspekt

Ides Interview



How long have you been writing, what got you hooked?
Starting painting roughly 9 yrs ago, had a little break for maybe a year just did tagging etc. Started painting the skatepark we skated at then eventually got into the yard near by and just fell in love with steel, the smell, the feel, the sound its all gravy to me. Just got sick of running from cops going to shiesty downtown Vancouver jail. I still love to catch street tags and bomb and fuck shit up dont get me wrong, just prefer to kick it with the boys drink some sodas and piece a few panels.

Favourite Colour, Colours?
I love the older krylons like pistachio, meadow green, painters touch honey is nice. All montana colors are hype especially shock white and the crome. I love montana hardcore just cuz you could fit any tip possible on em, but im really a big fan of the painters touch with a montana outline.

Favourite writer and why?
I'd say my favourite writers freight wise would be some of the OG"S like Elser, Keptoe, River and the Tci doods. Ahh fuck there to many to name, wish I could bite Isto's I, his shits definatly fire!

What do you like or dislike about Canada's freight scene?
The things I like about the Canadian steel scene is probably the lay'ups. Theres so many sweet spots through out BC, would like to look at some in Manitoba they look chill. Things I don't like is the range in cars, the states got it made for steel when it comes to different cars the play they get etc..

Shout outs
My boy Theo the Eneoner, Decor, Arise, Comboe, Vers2. Robyn at my coffee shop by the spot, all my sexy layups, the bitches that got down with me in the dirty yard, Pabst Blue Ribon, Kush, Homies and Burgers for life.
