Mask - Salt Lake City Graffiti

MELROSEandFAIRFAX had the pleasure of meeting Mask at Suicide Rock.

Mask has held down this spot for a long time. It used to be a sick burner til it was fucked up by local hack Stonie. Mask told us this throwie was just to claim the spot back and he was going to bring the heat soon, (and he left some messages to Stonie).

Mask is up all over Salt Lake, with tags, pieces, and prime rooftop freeway spots. He was the only one to make the difficult hiking trek from Suicide Rock to make a tag in a prime spot in between I-80 and 215--if you've driven it, you know~

This guy has balls bigger than his pieces. Mask was walking around with a dog, and an open bottle of beer. He said that the beer was his cover for painting. (crazy. not only is it an open container, but this is in Salt Lake where any drinking is frowned upon.)

Dope stuff. Stay up~

Suicide Rock is Salt Lake's constant canvas.

This spot is encircled by the I-15 and 215 Freeways, and the top of the rock has great traffic visibility. However, up top is usually painted with a fraternity symbol from the University of Utah or a 'Welcome Back' to someone returning from a Mormon mission. But all around the base of Suicide Rock itself is a chill place to get up.

Every beginner with a can of paint comes here, as well as every serious writer working out a new style. The canvas is always changing and the spots don't last long with a lot of turnover. All of these things make Suicide Rock a great place to vibe the pulse of graffiti in Salt Lake.
