7's Series: February

7’s Series is a new edition to Heavy in the Streets that I think will add a much needed visual element to my blog. The series will focus on the artistic endeavors of my friend Jake Thomashow, who I met in one of my senior art seminars in college over two years ago. Jake, who is also known in the graf world as 7, is an extremely talented photographer and graffiti artist. Jake will be sending me a mix of photographs of other peoples work as well as his own. Our goal is to bring you seven new images every month, with a mix of black and white and color. I’m very proud to present the work of Jake Thomashow in the first installment of 7’s Series.
