I found one of my son's black books from his early years at FIT -- anywhere between 1998-2001. This is among the tags I discovered.

Kove's black books are among my favorite. Whether his art work or some other writer's, the pieces and tags are among the most vibrant I've seen.

I met Over up in the Bronx a few months back on my first visit to Da Bakery on Southern Blvd His knowledge of Bronx graffiti is as astounding as the black books he shared with me.
