REYES and STEEL of MSK Crew In Chicago

REVOK, MSK, AWR, 7TH LETTER

A couple of days ago I came across a REYES and STEEL piece in the West Loop. I wouldn't of even known who they were, had it not been for the crew name on the margin of there piece. MSK. I had seen MSK for years on freights rolling through the midwest. The MSK crew name was always accompanied by AWR. An affiliate crew. MSK stands for master style kings and AWR stands for always rocking. These crews include such famous old school graffiti artists like REVOK. He rocks billboards on sunset strip with the best of them.

AUGOR, MSK, AWR, 7TH LETTER.

    Also include in these crews is Augor.
A graffiti artist of frightening depth and ability. Some of his pieces look like slimy, worm people made of intestines and fur. Truly bizarre stuff. He has designed skateboards, concept art for films and absolutely demolished walls, freights and highway overpasses all over the West Coast.












Probably the most well known member of MSK is
SABER. He is in the guinness book of world records
for having the worlds largest tag. He did in the LA
River, over two years using hundreds of gallons of
paint. He does movie work, has art in galleries,
has a clothing line with another crew, 7th letter and

shows no signs of slowing up. His style is
insanely detailed and hyper intricate. Its
almost as if its done by alien life form from another dimension.
    MSK. True graff kings in every sense of the word. It was a rare and special treat to see them in Chicago. I must also note, that all around the STEEL, REYES piece tags, pieces and murals were crossed out or painted over by other taggers. Not the MSK piece. No one touched that. Its was a sign of respect. No one crosses MSK out. To do so would invite ridicule and
rejection from the graff community.
