NYC BLACK BOOK MASTERS 2 @ DIRTYPILOT.com A collection of drawings by NYC graffiti Legends...."Drawing in black books are still a common denominator, whether you wrote on trains, walls or whatever, black book trading is still something special and personal - the exchange of art between its practitioners. The result is something precious and ever lasting that can be held and appreciated without the inevitability of being whitewashed or blasted from existence.
There aren't many things that we continue to do as adults that we began doing as children. Black books are today's link to yesterday's dreams". Louie "KR.ONE" Gasparro c.1977 - 2011 Dirtypilot.com is thrilled to offer collectors a window into the private world of black books and chance to own a piece of history by one of your favorite NYC writers.

About Tools of War
Co-founded by Jorge "Fabel" Pabon and Christie Z-Pabon, Tools of War was named with the idea that there are many "tools" one can use in competing or battling within Hip Hop culture: paint, turntables, microphones, one's body, and especially one's voice. Although the name may appear aggressive, the intent behind it's use is actually to inform and educate people regarding not only Hip Hop but many other social and political issues. As we grow, we are finding that it has also become a forum for voicing opinions and sharing ideas which might help in unifying and uplifting people all over the world.
