CREWLEAKS: RIOT GIRL ATTACK

Image
Crew: RGA (Riot Girl Attack) Founded: In the middle of summer 2017, in İzmir. Country: Türkiye. Original members: Jaku , Rikid , Hemon . Current members: idem. Philosophy: Bond of sisterhood and the merging of different styles. Tradition: Fast bombing nights meeting up after not seeing each other for a long time. Collective memory: The early days of the crew, we were in Izmir, we were painting the metro together for the first time. It was a very dark environment, and it was difficult to see anything. We didn't even take our glasses. One of us looked up and saw a man standing still, pointing at us. We keep and eye on the man for a while and then continued painting. The strange thing was that the man did not move and kept pointing at us. We were stressed and couldn't understand. We finished quickly and went out, and realized that it was not a human but a statue of Atatürk . Bullshit funny moment ahaha. And another: one day we were bombing, early in the morning.

FIRE AT WILL: PABLO NAKE

Image
Name: Pablo Nake Crew: City-country: I'm from a small town, Cájar, in the belt of Granada, Spain. But this is just a place, my real homeland are Jacin Megías and Manuel Ferrer, my parents, that's where I'm from. Active since : I started tagging in 1996 but it wasn't until 1997 when I did my first piece. First piece:  I only have a very bad picture. At that time only a few had digital camera and almost everything was analogic. The piece was a Nake with the letters in blue and white. Before that I only had seen graffiti a couple of times. The one that marked me the most was a Jam held in a well known hall in Granada where graffiti writers from different parts of the country came and brought new tricks I had never seen before. There were only a few magazines, no internet, blah blah blah blah I'm very old ha ha ha ha. Favorite piece:  I have no predilection for any of them, it's like asking me for my favorite child. I love them all equally (pieces and da
