Interesting article on Alan Ket in today's NYTimes. I met Alan the last time I was in NYC with DEAR in the Lower East Side. KET has produced some very nice and thorough books about graffiti art and culture. Check them out HERE.

KET is also somewhat of an ambassador for the culture, writing semi-regualr articles for Mass Appeal Magazine and appearing prominently in Marc Ecko's Graffiti-themed video game, Getting Up. He was a great graffiti writer in the late 80s and throughout the 90s repping RIS, XTC and other reputable and respected crews. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say I hope that New York City doesn't succeed in making an example out of him.
