I don't get it... did he get it trouble for painting on the side of the store that he was allowed to paint on? 

Or was it just the fact that he had those things in his possession.  Such bullshit.

yup...if you click on "development" in the product info here: http://lineskis.com/skis/blend it tells the artwork story, this is also the case for all our skis, we have used independent artists from day 1. Here's a sick video of Revok talking about his art and the need to go into the commercial realm:

such bullshit, his work is sick and as long as its not inappropriate what's the big deal?
imo it adds interest to cities, id rather be looking at graffiti than at a blank wall.

im meaning to say as long as theres not curse words all over the place or anything that would be discrimination or anything, i see graffiti as more of a work of art not a hinderance. thats true that its someone elses property but if i were a shop owner i wouldnt care too much.

I agree.  I think Revok's shit looks sick and all and he should be allowed to paint where people are letting him, but he should be arrested if he does it on people's stuff who didn't want him to.  He is good, but if you go to like Albuquerque NM the Graffiti sux and I wouldn't want it anywhere.  By letting him do what he wants then we allow anyone to do what they want.  Trust me you don't want me to put my "art" on your house or store.

And that's your opinion so you don't have to call the cops, but I personally would want graffiti off my store walls.  I don't need my hood to look like the projects.

graffiti art is alright as long as its not on a nice building or somewhere it should not be.   Tagging however,  is absolutely retarded.  Especially if its that 13 or 14 bullshit.  Fuck mexican gangs.  Bunch of little pieces of shit.

thats just because its all gang related shit. Albuquerque doesn't have any graff that isnt somehow associated with a gang.

Its stuff like this that makes me want to start a revolution to overthrow the entire US justice system. 20k bail for possession of legal paint and 1 fake badge? I can't understand how legit graffiti art like this is so illegal, yet commercial ads in public places, ie. billboards  are completely legal and even encouraged. I'm sure most CITIZENS would find his artwork much more pleasing to look at than a 50 foot tall Viagra ad.

 America has seemingly thrown out all of its cultural, logical and ethical values for MONEY. that 20k was pulled out of his pockets for no good reason at all. America's greed has made us slaves to the system.

Wu-Tang had it right, C.R.E.A.M.

He was creating ART; not tagging gang signs.

so

To everyone who doesn't "get" street art (which includes graffiti).

FUCK YOU.

unbelievable. since when has it become illegal to own spray paint? and how does owning spray paint make the cops eligible for a warrant to search your house?

They did say he was on probation... but seriously, what the fuck... it was a live art demonstration that he was invited to and he was the ONLY person arrested?  What a load of shit.

Graffiti probation forsure.  I had a probation officer when I got arrested for graffiti, but Revok's probation was prob much more harsh.

this wasnt the first time he was arrested for graff...so if someone is under the possesion of paint specifically made for graff (montana hardcore and montana 64 in revoks case)...they assume u are active.

it makes sense, its jsut the store owner that fucked revok over in the end.

PS. he has long since been released and seems to be doing well back in LA.

he has a pretty dope blog see below.

I wouldn't speak definitively on that. I was reading an interview on Clouts website about 2 guys from NM who went on a road trip and blew the fuck up. I can't remember their names off hand and clout took the interview off the site, but they killed it. They said a LOT of the graffiti in alby was shit but there was still talent.

As for Revok, I will say this. It's depressing that an artist like Revok, who is clearly trying to make a profit from his talents, can be arrested for having spray paint. Let's over generalize here to prove a point... An artist's tools are deemed illegal and thereby possession of said tools is a crime. That's some fucked up facist shit. The head honcho policeman they interviewed even seemed a little stupefied as to why revok was arrested.
