Hooked Up - Espo

According to Espo, MELROSEandFAIRFAX is 2nd in a shitpile (and we are aiming for first!).

Currently accepting all offers on his sticker~

Lol, Espo hit up a postal sticker for us, but instead of writing his name 'Espo', he wrote 'Ebay'.

We laughed and told him we wouldn't be selling it and hooked him up with a few stickers.

He was cool for about 3 seconds as he stuck out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Steve Powers." But when we told him that we run M&F, the 2nd biggest street art blog in the world, he said "That's like being second in a shitpile!"

"That's what we're going for," I told him, "top of the shitpile."

We didn't expect the guy to be very personable. We have seen him interviewed and he once told a friend of ours to "Choke on a bag of dicks and die!", so we knew there was an edge to him. And we have since been told that he is a fierce graffiti loyalist who things street art sucks, which explains his view.

But it always sucks when you meet someone who's art you enjoy, but they are not so cool in person. And we really liked Espo's 'Love Letters', and think its almost as cool as what Eine is doing.

Oh. Snap~

(And just kidding about offers on the sticker. It is not for sale, or ebay. The story is priceless~)
