I received a package in the mail over the weekend. I opened it and to my surprise I found a signed print from Ed Emberley that Roger hooked up for me. So dope, it even looks like he drew Leroy!
This is almost 30 years full circle for me, since I had a few of his drawing books as a child in the late 70′s, early 80′s. I still remember drawing his characters. Good to see he is still publishing.
Thanks man!

Book Description
Over 400 eye-popping photos provide a decade-long tour of graffiti in New York City. Walls, trucks, and subway cars are featured with graffiti by the crews X-Men, KD, TNB, 156, RIS, AOK, TC-5, FAME CITY, COD, XTC, TFP, MCI, IF, DYM, 718, TD4, SMART, TATS CRU, FLY-ID, GFR, AKB, and many more. Because New York City has made a concerted effort to remove graffiti from the city, the images captured here will never be seen again. Walls were repainted and some buildings were demolished, keeping graffiti crews working fast to keep ahead of the trend. The author worked even faster to capture their ephemeral efforts. If you have a fascination with urban life and colorful expression, this book is definitely for you.
