People News. City Canvases: Dork's stance on graf is pretty clear. It's one of those unexplainable counter cultures that anger and elate people at the same time. To us it makes life interesting. The creation of beauty despite social, physical and structural norms forces the imagination's hand. So, in the usual battle of whether graf is good or bad, the USA Today covers the story of an artist named KET.
As reported by the USA Today: "Until the vandal squad took him away in handcuffs, it seemed that KET had grown up. KET is the graffiti signature of Alain Maridueña, who as a teenager in the 1980s made a name spray painting subway trains. But he'd since evolved into an old-school legend — historian, publisher, lecturer, consultant — who supposedly hadn't tagged a train since his first child was born."
