There
are a few “old school” living legends still alive from the graffiti art
movement. Out of these one of the most consistent is this man Lin
Felton, aka QUIK, aka QK, aka KWIK.
Since the early
1970s he’s been an active painter on the trains and since the 80s he has
been painting canvases and exhibiting around the world. When collectors
speak of collecting artists like Rammellzee and Dondi White I tend to
remind them that there are living artists that are important and should
be supported because they matter and are instrumental in this art
movement. Lin is one of these artists. In honor of him, his life’s work
and also because it’s black American history - I salute him. He’s a
king. I don’t forget and neither should you. – Alan Ket
