Bates on executing the sketch:

Revok's Bates sketch was done in the hall of fame
at the harbor in Copenhagen Denmark, Summer 2005!
Since I received the outline sketch by email, I just waited
for the right moment to blast it.. I didn't have the best
print out, so I kinda had to take it as a challenge. and work
it out on the wall. I wanted the colors to burn and come correct,
and I tried to stick to the proportions of the letter structure. Even though,
it's hard when you don't know the person behind the style and how
he goes about executing his pieces. I had to follow everything on the paper and gave
it the touch of a steady Bates hand. I am sure I'll fool the enemy, into believing
its actually done by Revok, I hope he's happy with the results...

Revok Said:

Holy shit! - Bates painting my sketch!!! - This is a complete fucking
honor! - Bates is a writer I have respected and admired every since my
beginning days of graffiti, I remember seeing one of his pieces in a
old issue of Can Control and bugging out wondering "who in the hell is
that guy!" oh yeah and, great fucking job! -It looks much better than
it would of had i painted it!
