Jersey Joe is at it again……His newest project, The Exchange, has six of the dopest graf writers from across the country, Revok, Sever, Ewok, Rime, Yes2, and Geso, all trading outlines and styles.  The project was conceived in order to create an awareness of distinct letter forms, as well as expand each of the artists’ personal graffiti styles and techniques…..we thought the resulting pieces were good enough reasons.  For more info and pics on The Exchange, peep here.

Undead dogs created in labs right here in the US?  Frank151 followed up on a frightening article that the Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has actually discovered how to turn dead dogs into Zombie Attack Dogs. According to the Safar Centre, however, they claim that even though they are using animals in their resuscitation research, they have not actually created these Frankenstein-like dogs; but would they seriously tell us the truth if they have?  Check out this article and judge for yourself here.
