New interview up on Senses Lost

check it out for Senses Lost -

When people speak of the L.A. scene, names such as Saber, El Mac, and Retna are quickly mentioned (and rightfully so, they are talented) but what about the people who came before them? Enter MAKE ONE, a legend and pioneer not only in Los Angeles, but Mexico, as well.

Los Angeles’ brand of graffiti has always interested me, so I felt it would be appropriate to interview Make One and get his view on such topics as [his] roots within L.A. and Mexico, the many contributions of female writers, the immigration debates in America, his evolution as a writer, and the importance of competition within the graffiti culture.
SPOILER ALERT!!: While on the topic of competition, Make One issued a challenge to NY graffiti icon, Cope2 for a graffiti battle. Legend vs. Legend?? Imagine that. Will Cope2 accept?? Keep your eyes open … in the meanwhile, absorb this Make One piece.
Starting off, I want to treat this like a job interview and simply get you to introduce yourself to the readers and educate us on the story of Make One. Who is he? When did you start? What crews are you affiliated with? Etc.

MAKE: The name is MakeOne from Los Angeles, representing the following crews: WCA (West Coast Artists), LOD (Loks on Dope) and AM7 (Angelz of Madness). I am co-founder of the legendary LA crew STN (Second To None). I started writing in 84′ and like many writers, have had different names. Names such as: Fraze, Axis, Mine, and Time (as featured in Spray Can Art). One day, while watching Style Wars, I saw Mare139, I liked his style and demeanour and so I swapped the “R” for a “K” and
MAKE was born. I have been writing Make or FakeMake since and also rock my real name, Galo or LoveGalo.
I am a proud born and LA raised native who’s of Mexican/Ecuadorian descent.

CAN - by Kaymen Barber

What's up people? -

Last year I had the privilege to work with a film student by the name of Kaymen Barber; a student from The Echo Park Film Center. The Echo Park Film Center is a non-profit media arts organization that is located in the Echo Park. They focus on developing young and local students in film and media.

Anyhow - this is a short film she did for her "Persistence of Vision" class where each student met with various Graffiti Artists and/or Muralists in Los Angeles to talk about the significance of street art in our neighborhood. The film was screened at The Downtown Film Festival In Los Angeles. The tiltle of the film is CAN and it interviews some of my old students from Art Share LA: Jonathan "KILOE", "JANS" and Ivan "AISE". oh...and of course it kinda interviews me too.



Make sure you also check out her other short films such as La Nueva Vida and L.A. River.

Keep your eyes open for her...she has mad talent. Kaymen Barber

There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer?)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer?)
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
(How much longer?)
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
(How much longer?)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer?)
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
(How much longer?)
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
(How much longer?)
(give him more, give him more)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer?)

There's a devil crawling along your floor
(how much longer?)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(how much longer?)
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
(how much longer?)
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
(how much longer?)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(how much longer?)
And he's old and he's stupid and
he's hungry and he's sore
And he's lame and he's blind
and he's dirty and he's poor
Give him more, give him more, give him more...
Give him more, give him more, give him more...
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(how much longer?)

Loverman! Here I stand

There's a devil lying by your side
(how much longer?)

Loverman! Loverman!
