Through a series of blood-pumping adventures, it paints a vivid portrait of a creative but harsh environment of extremes: friendship and rivalry; respect and conflict; adversity and prosperity; and, reveals the incredible risks that artists take, day in, day out, to win their place in the graffiti hall of fame. Ed Zipco, acute and empathetic commentator on the ways of the street, relates Darius' and Downey's most memorable experiences. Along the way, we witness their artistic evolution from conventional graffiti tagging to ambitious street installations that are both wittily entertaining and strikingly subversive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; overflow: hidden; position: relative; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size: padding-bottom:\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 4px; margin: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 6px 10px !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eLeon Reid IV (aka Darius) grew up in Cincinatti before attending Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London.
