UNCOMMON iPHONE CASES X MQ + DAVID ELLIS
Uncommon offers a variety of iPhone cases, with a HUGE roster of graffiti artists in their stable and will also produce a custom case just for you...with your graphics...yes, your graphics. SICK! They have some fancy-schmancy 3D TATT robot thingee that rams the inks DEEP into your blank case. Check them out, they kill it!
MQ started painting graffiti in New York in the mid 80s. He is also known as MQUE or MQIZM. MQ has earned himself legendary status for his relentless painting. Around the world you can see his colossal throw-ups, gigantic block letters and subliminal tags. Today MQ’s works is geared towards making poster, paintings and metal stickers. His art works are multi layered; often combining stickers and reflective vinyl with abstract shapes and subliminal writing. His core palette of silver and black with elements of graffiti makes his works easily identifiable. His work is fresh, innovative and constantly evolving.
David Ellis is an artist born into a family immersed in music. In his youth Ellis had little patience with piano lessons or reading sheet music. Instead he absorbed everything on The Super Mix, a Saturday night radio program broadcast from the nearby Fort Bragg military base. Each week a new cassette tape of emerging New York hip-hop found its way into the life of a child growing up in a log house in North Carolina. By the time Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 released The Message, Ellis was writing rhymes and banging out beats with his friends on the desks at school. Things have since become much louder.

SUBCONSCIOUS ART OF GRAFFITI REMOVAL by MATT McCORMICK
'From Tugboats To Polar Bears' (a collection of short films) is an Indie-Doc from 2002 by Portland filmmaker Matt McCormick, combining original sounds with abstract observations of contemporary culture.
"Towlines" explores the role of the tugboat in modern society; "American Nutria" examines the plight of a species imported to our shores and now reviled; "The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal" observes how destroying one art form creates another; "The Vyrotonin Decision" reflects on some of advertising's most embarrassing moments.
McCormick received the Golden Gate award in '02 for Best Short Film.
