This guy (who was in the front of the line) showed me his graff/signature book.

I told him sharpies suck (cuz alot of my baseballs from when I was a kid in the 90's -are all faded, & said "you gotta get a paint pen or sharpie silver"
but they said the baseball signatures only faded cuz it's on leather. maybee, But I still just don't trust traditional sharpies archival-ness unless it's a metalic or oil paint pen sharpie marker...)

He said he went to Wynnwood disctrict everyday and had different artists sign his book. He got pretty hooked up. He said he's from Miami but buys alot of Original Revok a Saber works from LA Galleries. (His book is -Ron English, Martha Cooper, I thought it was Doze Green, Jeff Soto, Shep Fairey, Aiko and Space Invader)

Mr. Mcgee making good use of the paint pen I gave him.

It was a pretty small signing (50 books) so there was only ball point pens to sign with.

After he signed my wood paper project w/it, I said he could have the paint pen if he wanted to use it to sign with. And he said "it's a good pen" , I was like "it's yours".

It's always more fun get down using paint pens. (He wrote "Miami 2010" under that "BH". for that lady)

Don't want to pull off the blue tape cuz it looks sick with it on there.

Clever cuz he used the wood grain like lines of paper vertically (top to bottom) Twist style, incorporated the priority box backside into the piece & used the "please rush to adress" text as a line.
