CAKES sketch by Stae 2
THE EXCHANGE BOOK PREVIEW
On The Run Book # 8: THE EXCHANGE
Acclaimed graffiti collective The Exchange has created a stir with a dynamic style dialogue. The idea behind the project is for members to pair up, trade sketches and rock diverse styles outside of their usual comfort zones. These experiments are then posted online to be applauded and critiqued by members. A verbal and visual style assault from some of the finest active writers across the globe: EWOK, REVOK, RIME, PERSUE, YES 2, POSE, STAE 2, SNOW, BATES, SERCH, POET, KACAO 77, SCOTTY 76, ASKEW (just to name a few). This book is jam-packed with expert style antics. You might want to get your sketchbooks out and start taking notes.

Bates-Stae2
Yo Bates, thanks for the fresh outlines..
I painted this sketch you had given me way back the other day. I made small tweaks to reflect my style into the sketch as well as fit in the given space- it was real fun to paint. I liked how you had the suggestive 3d on the sketch and played with that feel as well. Hope you dig!

The Start.
An idea to try and push the Graffiti/Street art scene a little more within Dubai and the surrounding emirates. To show that it is possible to paint here within the limits and laws of this part of the world also for this region to see and understand what this art we all love is about.
Writers/Artist do pass through here and do paint.
I will try and document as much as i can on my travels around the UAE from events to street pieces so if any writers that have passed through and have taken flicks of their work drop me a line and i will post it up as some may have gone by now due to the heavy construction or the event ending.
