To Nekst http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/12/writer-highlight-special-r-i-p-to-nekst/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=writer-highlight-special-r-i-p-to-nekst http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/12/writer-highlight-special-r-i-p-to-nekst/#comments Mon, 24 Dec 2012 18:13:39 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=2539 The graffiti world has lost another king, another too young king. I saw something on the internet a couple days ago but waited to believe anything until I talked to someone who actually knew. I didn’t know him personally but it also seemed like there would always be newer and more epic Nekst pieces popping up. He will always be remembered not only as a prolific bomber but for his fair share of pieces and freights and trackside rollers as well. Everything got hit. And got hit BIG.

All I can say is that hopefully in his life and death, there’s a lesson for all. Go big while you got it and live to keep getting it.

This first pic is from a piece done when I was working across the street on the Bowery and the first time I really opened up to him being a major player in doing big things, and doing them in very insanely high profile spots.

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.
