"Earsnot" / IRAK


Skip The Shit.

Ruthless, Vandal, Gay, Thief, Stylish, Cheeky, Fucked Up Childhood, and downright NYC blunt.

KIC, meet Earsnot, Earsnot, KIC




One of my first posts on KIC was to do with the graffiti film "INFAMY", and if some of you reached the link, youll recognise this lad. You can hardly ever forget him.

a keen bomber in NYC, creator of the media group IRAK ( standing for all things proppaganda, but also a term used in graffiti dating back to the 80's whereby the artist steals their supplies "i rack (i rob)" )

dealing heavily with clothing, collaborating with ALife and Adidas, but at the same time, standing out; being gay in such a traditionally homophobic culture makes this man all the more vibrant.


check the shit...












Pushing the boundaries, stretching through graffiti, film music and general robbery, this team of outcasts have been seen to roll up into the best clubs NYC has to offer, like Kings. Their motto?

"Every night is New Years Eve"
..classic

i just thought this dude deserved some recognition, and one comment from the film really made me admire him, whereby he talks about his Robbing techniques to get supplies.

"you walk in there, get the customer/shopkeeper thing going on, and they dont even know your stealing from them because your talking so much. Even if they do know, they cant say anything because your so damn nice. and the thing is, its the rush...you know its illegal, you know its wrong but the rush is there, so your gunna keep coming back, again and again and again..."

Legend.
