"Graffiti writers around the world know the name that started it all: Taki183. A greek kid from 183rd Street in Washington Heights. Taki183's simple signature captured the attention of a reporter and, on July 21, 1971, the article "TAKI 183 Spawns Pen Pals" appeared in The New York Times. (PDF Download).  Just like that, he became a graffiti legend, with rumors spreading that he even tagged a Secret Service car and the Statue of Liberty. Amid all the rumors, Taki183 remained silent. Now, almost four decades later, Taki183 has emerged to tell a bit of his story. Our friend Roger Gastman  Sat down with 57 years old Taki for this ilovegraffiti.de SMALLTALK.

I've been noticing more and more bicyclists here in San Jose even with winter in full effect. I admire their love for riding but I also wonder how most of them make it through the frigid mornings, rainy days, and dark nights with so little clothing. Maybe it's a minimalist look they're going for and these Pro Team Gloves {$85} from Rapha fit their needs. I'll let you know when I find out.

I think I've said it before. I like things simple just like my posts and  this Makr Horween Black Flap Wallet {$120}.

As long as I'm on this accessorizing tip, I decided to post another bag I like from Master-Piece. Their Over Backpack {$305} looks rugged enough to withstand the outdoors and yet simple enough to use on a daily basis.
