FREE KUTMAH

www.freekutmah.com THE BACKGROUND STORY Kutmah was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US with his mother when he was 12 years old. They immediately applied for residency to keep them from being sent to Egypt. As a British citizen the court ruled that he would be able to live in the UK which in their eyes wasn't such a bad place. They denied their applicatio...

An underrated, under-the-radar country in graffiti yet it has some of the
most talented most active graffiti writers I've ever seen. With a booming
scene that has been recently creating a global buzz, 50mm heads down
south again…to Mexico.

Earlier this year, Asylm, Eyeone, Mear, and
Yem flew overseas to Montpellier, France as participants in the
Battle of the Year France 2007 festival. Yem AM7 organized things
on the L.A. front for this trip, in coordination with Association Attitude
in France. The following is a somewhat memory-lapsed account by Eyeone.

Panic

Interview by Gabe the Saint
50mm Staff Writer



Panic is one of the most recognized names in Los Angeles Graffiti. He is what I call a 5 point player…Hand- styles, throw-ups, background, pieces, and characters. He has done it all. Back in the early 1990’s it was difficult to travel around the city and not come across a Panic and Poize throw-up. Years after I was able to sit d...

Writer Spotlight: 125er

Interview by Gabe the Saint
50mm Staff Writer

As 125 and I cruise through downtown during rush hour, we stop directly behind a, Rapid Metro bus. On the back of this bus is a poster of a cartoon with the word T.AG. Scrawled in cheesy graffiti-like font. T.A.G stands for Totally Against Graffiti and is a campaign spearheaded by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. I look over ...

The New School Can't Be Stopped

By Sharp Blade 50mm Staff Writer

Take a moment and consider the vast numbers of graffiti writers and crews that come and go in any major city over a period of years. Factor in law enforcement, gangs, politics of the streets and the time and effort needed to maintain a presence. Odds are that most crews alive today won't survive tomorrow let alone remain dominant through several generations o...

Hello My Name Is: SERCH

Interview and Photography By: Unit One 50mm Staff writer
Transcribed by: Jayleen



Moms always said It's the little things in life that count right? But who would have thought that statement could apply in the world of graffiti where it's the highest spot, the biggest letters, the wildest styles and the fattest fat-caps that get the recognition. Witness the so-called "lowly" slap-tag. Faded ...

Third-space Farmers

by Devon G. Peña, Ph.D. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Imagine a space where families gather everyday to work on the community farm. Imagine they have made this special place into a sustainable source of local food. They have created an edible landscape: a green mosaic with an endless variety of food crops, medicinal plants, fruit trees, creepers, crawlers, and cacti. Imagine the peop...

Latrinalia: "It's all in The Head"

By Mark Ferem
50mm Los Angeles Freelance Writer and Photographer
In the world of graffiti, bathroom graf is not so much like murals or throw ups, but more like regurgitations. We now occupy a space that is infiltrated by global multi-media carpet bombing where our mental environment is in the last death throes of private space. The bathroom has seemingly become a sanctuary or bomb shelter whi...
