Long story here, but basically Alan - Maridueña - has been charged with a dozen felony's all relating to grafitti in NYC. If foudn guilty he could face up to 10 years in prison....for some art! Let's face it, NYC looks ugly for many more reasons that some pieces of art.
Since 1986, Alan Ket has documented the New York City graffiti art movement and been an active participant as a painter and supporter. He has helped graffiti to be recognised as an important and legitimate art movement by documenting its pioneers and its protagonists. Traveling to universities nationwide, Ket has been an outspoken advocate on graffiti history, criminalization, and issues concerning public art. So take a look here and help pay for his legal fees.
Go to eBay and search for the seller: "The Walls Belong To Us". The Dalek and NYCLase pieces rule.
