In this episode of “Between The Lines” we meet up with Legendary graffiti artist RISK. Risk talks getting up, Michael Jackson, Ice Cube, and his history and future in the art world.
Unfortunate, I had multiple photo albums, big, with a ton of pics from early years, WestCoast Tracks, National, Sunset (behind AM/PM), Etc, full of WCA/RISK photos I wouldve contributed to the book! I lost them all in a storage unit! Shit I used to rack a shit ton of spray paint from a paint store off Robinson (Dunn and Edwards) where MINOR worked. He knew exactly what we were doing and kind of gave a look then walked away like yeah the next generation. Anyway cool video, amazed there are no comments! Risk sorry my cousin & I did a piece over your West Coast Track infamous Risk 2:32 "end" wall at the tracks - BET ON3! BUST ON3! SOR ON3! Then we found out that you cant do that sh1t. Well the original was fuct cause of us, then he came back and went over our shit w/ the updated version saying “we’re back” Well at least we went over one of the best! All of the pics you had on this, I had in my photo albums from back in the day! I think it was at 2:04 when WC and BC bombed all over the place, and ran the National Yard! I remember walking around and thinking damn dudes are so good! Still one of my favorite was the West Coast piece on the freeway! Crap was the best. Also at national KAOS I think from KGB it was a real simple piece blue and silver was for some reason or another one of my favorites also! Cool to see this. Was looking for my shit on some of those walls. Anyway im writing for the sake of it, not really giving a shit who reads this! Unless you cared to make it this far or are reflecting like I just did!
Fuck yes bro. Right when I was coming up, I would see Risk in every copy of Can Control I had.... which was the like the only graff mag out .. But Mass Appeal and On The Go pumped out a little bit of graff too... Shortly after, 12OZ Prophet Mag came out and was just something like graff had never seen before....Immaculate production, quality inks, in depth interviews, thick glossy pages.. 12 ounce set the Bar HIGH for graff mags, which honestly I've yet to see outmatched..but I'll be damned if I didn't see Risk in every single issue of the OG graff mag Can Control!!! RIP to all the dope graff mags. ..
Theres a lot of wisdom for young artists here, be larger than one medium or mark keep improving your skills and investing in yourself and one day everyone that said you would never make it will be there saying they always believed.
He’s a good dude. I call him “mr Hollywood” because he was always the biggest self promoter. He was never the wild style guru or anything but I always thought that he had an amazing sense of piece placement. His pieces always fit the wall perfectly. I love him because he helped with the “myshka” piece at pan pacific. Nuff said. I wasn’t surprised at all to hear that he lived next to Seen now days. Even though I’m a member of a rival crew ..I’ve always thought of Kelly as a peer..and a friend. Thanks for letting me crash at the Ivar pad bro 😉 Cano...Kinda Still Nuts. LA. 🤘🏼
Dude, you were and are an idol to graffiti artists like me, you taught me to not label myself a Tagger cause that limits me and my skill, and oh do i remember alk the brown and yellow in the late 80's, that when me and several writers on the Valley learned about upside down cans, started jacking those cans from construction sites and started doing pieces in the middle of the street. Man u still remember the 2 and a half story M.W.A. that was done with a fire extinguisher accross the street from my high school in the Arby's parking lot, then after like 2 years there biggest enemy A.O.B. tryed to do the same but didnt put enough air in the tank and the cross out was at the very bottom and didnt really cross them out then the did a 1 story AOB next to it, lol epic fail. Lol
At the start of the video of sound like a song Ik. “Pain is brown. Hate is white. Love is black. Stab the night. Kingdom of Numb. Closet of Hurt. Feelings are dumb. Kisses are dirt.”
there is an amazing artist writing RISK in europe too... probably many writes this. but the one mi thinking of now lives of makin art for the govt and busses, canvases and still murals too :D
Love that he doesnt give a shit thats he's making money off of it. Its annoying when people bitch that you shouldnt be making money off of street art for w/e bs they came up with.
He lives next door to Seen now days. They’re best buds. Kelly was a major part of making the old “can control” magazine. I used to live at a loft he had access too (his dad owned it). For a while it was an after hours bar called “fuel”. I’d sit there and pour over hundreds of graf pics that were “maybes” for can control. If Kelly saw your channel he’d go “why’s this dude bitin our name?” In a way where your not sure if he’s kidding or not. P.s.-Where you been at holmes? Put out a new bench vid...I have addictions that need feeding.
I do not get it, why are they not in Jail for Graffiti, showing his Face and Stuff, talking about illegal Actions and other Writers do a little Tagg and have to pay the Bill or even worse... Why?
Graffiti is such toxic masculinity. These goofballs need to focus on real art like stencils and try and spread some positivity rather than all the toxic "bombing"
nah fool.. he was apart of pioneering the shit. u call yourself a writer you better learn to respect that shit fool cause youll get put in a situation and get checked real quick if u dont know your place. this the graff game, not an internet style contest. u put in work for years and years and your gonna get the respect u deserve.
Crazy personal paint stock, nice. Never seen planes hit before haha
Sier painted a concord
@@thachubbmonster9013 i was gonna ask if you break locks then i got your name. 🤣 love it. I write cant say tho.
Misanthropist whoever did that is a beast
man i remember risk as surf, rolling around mid city...long ass car...like a caddy pieced up on the sides. dope dude! legend
What part of mid city
It would be so nice doing graffiti in the 80s because there was not as many cameras as there is today
"I want my name like that" "Yea well we're out of paint whatever whatever"
Legend! Respect!!!

Lol amongst the cans, my eyes went to the pump sprayer ASAP!
wish this video was longer
I used to see risk tags in Springfield ma.
At the start of the video of sound like a song Ik. “Pain is brown.
Hate is white.
Love is black.
Stab the night.
Kingdom of Numb.
Closet of Hurt.
Feelings are dumb.
Kisses are dirt.”
Cool content
I could really do this some of those cans
That s very rare in my mind anyhow, for some one to master graff, and so many other artistic ways. Maybe someone should ad more elements to hip hop!
Nice
Respeto!
I think everybody thought the first song was TNT by ACDC
Cool

Love that he doesnt give a shit thats he's making money off of it. Its annoying when people bitch that you shouldnt be making money off of street art for w/e bs they came up with.
Seen his shit in Vegas
(RiSk)!!*
Sorry 2 say Mr "risk" u ain't active no mor,u stay inside,I stay markin the streetz
The dudes still active. Benched him, Seen and Ces just the other day
Downtown spot with the blue background??
He lives next door to Seen now days. They’re best buds. Kelly was a major part of making the old “can control” magazine. I used to live at a loft he had access too (his dad owned it). For a while it was an after hours bar called “fuel”. I’d sit there and pour over hundreds of graf pics that were “maybes” for can control. If Kelly saw your channel he’d go “why’s this dude bitin our name?” In a way where your not sure if he’s kidding or not.
P.s.-Where you been at holmes? Put out a new bench vid...I have addictions that need feeding.
LA King👑
0:06 thats a fucking rooster
Dude theres like 10 Risk's in each town in America.... why the fuck did you pick that name??
CHAKA
School bus yellow
KRYLON school bus yellow 👊🏾😎
Risk is a Toy! (He knows why)
I do not get it, why are they not in Jail for Graffiti, showing his Face and Stuff, talking about illegal Actions and other Writers do a little Tagg and have to pay the Bill or even worse... Why?
Off brand Thunderstruck intro song lmao
I tag risk here in Ireland
hitting someone's plane is just wrong
But fun
Who is this guy?!? Not the real #riprisk
He’s from the 80’s Wym he’s not “real”
@@groovy8048 Propably talking about Risk from Finland...
You must not know your graff history rookie🤦♂️
brags to much...
i dont think his bragging, sounds like you're just a toy who never made a name for himself and as a result is jealous
It’s a interview about his life and he worked with MJ fur fux sake!
Graffiti is such toxic masculinity. These goofballs need to focus on real art like stencils and try and spread some positivity rather than all the toxic "bombing"
MarvinMonroe you sound dumb as fuck
You’re a fucking dumbass nobody’s gonna wanna bring the peace
This guy thinks alot of himself
Overated not even hateing
nah fool.. he was apart of pioneering the shit. u call yourself a writer you better learn to respect that shit fool cause youll get put in a situation and get checked real quick if u dont know your place. this the graff game, not an internet style contest. u put in work for years and years and your gonna get the respect u deserve.
stop talking and do a live session so we can learn something.
Faroek Nasierkhan rookie need to learn 😂
