Everyday Criminals

It took a little bit to get this feature together with Houston's own EDC, but we all finally worked out our schedules. Short interview and a couple of photo sessions should be enough explanation.


Bridge Burner:  How long has EDC been around?
Seyes & Mihao:  Since 2008!  
BB:  Who are some local writers that have been an influence on you?
S:  Dudes like Abels and Lingo for sure, and then there's people like Ners, my old FEA homies.
M:  All of DTS/RTL, Munik (RIP) and Tums for getting me into sprayin' rap letters.

BB:  It seems like before there were so many forums and photo websites writers still took flicks of their work, mostly just to sit in a box out of sight. Now everyone gets flicks of anything from tags to burners and they show up online multiple times. Do y'all think this is a good thing, or is it too much exposure?
S:  I think its good for everyone. Writers get flicks of their spots, people can see what certain writers have been up to. And you can see so much more graffiti from different people.
M:  Its cool coverage. Get to see what's new on the streets. Although, its' also cool to have some flicks that haven't been leaked anywhere on the internet to show the homies or something.

BB:  Caps and paint may change for situation, but do you have a favorite paint or cap?
S:  Man, I love a NY fat on an ironlak can. So good. But my paint of choice would be Rustoleum.
M:  Montana Hardcore with a Euro Fat, Ironlak NY fat, and old school Krylon with a pink dot. Rusto forever.
BB:  What music have y'all been listening to lately?
S:  Hip hop...Some Big L, Gangstarr, De la soul and Jay Z's album "Reasonable Doubt", which was recommended by a good friend.
M:  Bits of everything. Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf, Big L, Antonio Carlos, Letherette, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Souls Of Mischief as of lately.


BB:  Does music play a role in your graff at all?
S:  It gets me in a chill mood when I’m painting, but It wouldn’t affect how I would paint.
M:  Depends. It either gets me pumped to paint a stupid hot spot or a chill clean wall I can take my time on and relax.

BB:  What are some other cities y'all would like to get up in?
S:  Before I would do any US cities, Id have to go on a little Mexico tour with some homies. And go to places like San Luis Potosi, Monterrey and Mexico D.F.
M:  Wherever I can in the US first. Anywhere in Europe. Then places like River City, Melbourne, Montreal, and Vancouver.
Big shout outs to all the crew members and homies!

Thanks guys for helping put this together.
