Alain Levitt: Streets Talking*

4/15/2024
Full episode & video, available on our Patreon. In the early 2000s, New York’s economic landscape created a world in which one could survive off of little. Artists, skaters, graffiti writers, poets & musicians inhabited the city, organically creating style & culture in a way that permeated into the life of the neighborhood. Common streets became legendary as the 14 block radius of downtown New York housed a thriving underground scene flourishing in a carefree time of unhindered creativity. At this time Alain Levitt was hanging out in the Lower East Side on a daily basis with a small film camera on his person. Spending the early 2000s living amongst the people, Alain shot the downtown New York Scene during an era that laid the foundations for events & people that went on to deeply influence the world of skate, graffiti, art & culture. His debut book 'NYC: 2000-2005' is a collection of these photos. http://patreon.com/livingproofnewyork http://livingproofnewyork.com

Ep.159-GKAE SKREW MSK

3/10/2024
GKAE SKREW MSK is an internationally acclaimed graffiti writer whose name is synonymous with the title of ‘king’ from New York to Los Angeles. Getting down in MSK during the summer of 1992 when the crew was still an offshoot of AWR, GKAE approached graffiti with relentless will-power matched by few. He explains his reason for painting was to rid himself of depression, to impose against the status quo that property is more valuable than life, to achieve a primal feeling of self-worth. Over a period of 30 years he came to represent the legendary MSK crew, face time in LA county prison over vandalism charges; experiencing loss & gain whilst creating a legacy that inspires writers world-wide. http://patreon.com/livingproofnewyork http://livingproofnewyork.com
