TimeOut for Street Art

It’s here. The issue that is sure to make Peter Vallone Jr. red in the face, and most likely, a whole bunch of haters in the ‘underground’. TimeOut NY presents its official ‘Street Art’ theme. The fun loving-event listing magazine asked ‘street artists’ to submit sketches and the best of the bunch were selected. CYCLE, LADY PINK & SMITH, HOPE 169, and Ellis G (he has a graffiti name but we won’t blow up his spot) were all chosen to create ‘limited edition’ covers, you know, so you can “collect ‘em all.” We shot off a quick round of questions to CYCLE to find out more about the project. Interview and details of the four pro bono ‘limited edition’ covers after the jump.
