I first met Bates in Norway in '99 on the Scandinavian COD tour. I
had first seen his stuff from a mutual friend and crew member of ours
Raide (Goal AIO) in '95. Bates all around style is next to none.
Bates is a big influence of mine when it comes to letters. He was
there when I was first getting more letter style focused and was cool
enough to show me a few tricks. It is an honor to be crew mates
and down with such a cool cat.
ONE!
Bates on viewing the sketch:
Yo Persue, that blackbook outline looks like a silver piece!
Imma bust it out here in cold Europe. By this time its winter
and way too cold to rock full color pieces...But I am gonna try
and stay close to your outline eventhough I wanted to change a few
things,the style is funky. I think I can make it work!
Bates on executing the sketch:
The 3d changed, let me know how you like the outcome?
peace my mann...
