STAY HIGH TOMORROW

Stay High 149 started doing graffiti in 1971 when he was a messenger on Wall Street. This was back when everyone in "graf" had a number at the end of their name that I think was supposed to be what street they lived on, like Turk 182 or Cornbread. Wait, sorry. Anyways, Stay High is best known among graffiti people as the first guy to actually draw shit instead of just writing his nickname.

There's a new book with all his wall-drawings from the last 40 years, put together by Sky Farrell and Chris Pape. The release party is tomorrow night at Shut Skates and Stay High will be there signing books, which is kind of like graffiti for fancy old men.

Think about it.
