Bombing Science recently caught up with Chi-Town graffiti artist Pose for an interview.

“Bombing Science: How did you get into Graff and what were your early inspirations?

Pose: Boredom and the unbelievable urge to be up everywhere and rock burners.  In the early nineties (pre buff) Chicago’s graff scene was BOOMING!  There was so much good graffiti and so many writers, shit was destroyed, riding the trains as a child it was the most unbelievable shit I had ever seen, nothing could describe it.  With Graff visually sinking in your whole childhood you just get to a breaking point where you go out, rack some shitty cans and try your hardest to figure it out. Then comes the wildfire that takes over your life, the excitement, bombing, chases, beef, wars, court cases, racking, friends, fights, good times, stories, travels.  The next thing you know it just completely consumed the last 17 years of your life.”

Peep this new interview with 123 Klan from Grafica Real.

“The self proclaimed title of ‘Graphic Sniper’ comes suitably to mind when I think about the artists that comprise 123Klan, Scien and Klor. They have been keeping me on the edge of my seat for some time now with their inventive characters, killer logos, and seemingly hard to get fashion collaborations with labels such as Stussy and Adidas. They are the ultimate example of graffiti artist turned graphic artist that has taken the scene by storm, while still staying true to their roots. Originally forming 123Klan as a graffiti crew in 1992 in France, they now run as a creative studio in Montréal specialising in character illustration, branding, toy design, and touring the world speaking at conferences. With a list client list with the likes of Nike, Adidas, Lamborghini, Coca Cola, Stussy, Sony, and even Nasdaq, it becomes clear how much the graffiti style has infiltrated the maintream martket. Style really is their message…”
