Smash 137 is one of my favorite, prolific graf writers. His letter styles and color combos are so versatile and numerous yet he still completely hones his own style. Props to a true style master.

Saint Seymour of Aerosol
I have often wondered, who was the first human to think drinking milk was a good idea? Why would someone see white fluid oozing out of an animal and even have the thought that it’d be a good thing to drink? Along the same lines who was the first to have the idea to roast animal flesh over a fire? I understand getting hungry and thinking animals might be good to eat but who took it to that next level and what made them think it was even a good idea to try? It’s genius and in hindsight seems so second nature and not at all some ridiculous crazy idea. (Vegans don’t start, it’s a separate issue)
This got me to thinking of other genius ideas that now seem so obvious. Spray paint. It’s so greatly taken for granted but who took that evolutionary step to dream of the combination of paint and aerosol? Enter Edward Seymour in 1949. Although supposedly it was his wife’s idea (ladies, holla) and he put it into action. And the first color, aluminum. So we definitely have them to thank for those classic silver fills.

Rafael Cerveglieri is 25 and used to wear funny t-shirts. He was born and still lives in São Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil. For some years now, he’s been working with stuff he loves: making comics and editorial illustration. He’s one of those boring guys who loves to talk about books, movies, comics and songs, and would love to talk about these things anywhere with anyone. Also, he lacks a haircut. If you’d like to waste some time talking to him or perhaps you have some work you’d like him to do, feel free to contact him by e-mail: rafael [dot] cerveglieri [at] gmail [dot] com.
He would be proud of it, and you can even eat some sandwich with him, but please don’t put tomato slices on it.
