About REVOK The easiest way to get noticed in the graffiti world is to paint high-profile, hard-to-reach spots. But the attention doesn't always mean respect: simply climbing a building and painting it means next to nothing if it's not done well. Los Angeles-based graffiti artist REVOK has been painting mind-blowing, seemingly inaccessible spots, with grace and style, around the country for 10-plus years now. Subsequently, tales of his exploits have reached folklore status within the graffiti world. REVOK's distinctive style has influenced countless artists, who have done their best to emulate his handiwork, forcing him to get more creative and broaden his stylistic repertoire. He has reinvented the alphabet several times over, giving his letters life and so much movement that they seem to jump off the wall. This past summer, REVOK has spread his name throughout Europe, appearing at numerous festivals to paint for fans and onlookers. Now European writers can join their American counterparts in admiration of REVOK's unparalleled talents. For more information, visit www.revok1.com.
