KEO X-MEN on the history behind his "Fulton" piece

Purchase our "Fulton" Print Edition 
(VERY Limited Quantity Available)

"In 1979-1980 I used to walk Fulton Street in Brooklyn to get to Junior High School everyday. The bus that ran along the Fulton Mall was bombed, often with full color pieces. SIKO TB and KIK NSG were two of the names that stood out. KIK would often do these sunflower designs in his pieces, and SIKO would flip his “O” into a face, or an 8 Ball, or a bomb. Years later when I would talk about the buses, most people looked at me like I was crazy. I searched for photos with no luck, so I decided to try and recreate that memory as best I could. R.I.P. to SIKO NSG."
