Throughout the past 10 years the Wildstyle discipline has  started to slowly die in the graff game. Ni**az have changed – they ain’t the same no moe. Writers merged and adjusted their styles to adhere to the new sloppy trends, them ni**az are soft! Cats be like, fuck wildstyles and shit. Them cats is playa hatin, on the strength I never seen them cats bust some hot shit. The new generation are stuck on simples and don’t evolve. It’s too easy to hate on what you can’t do or what you can’t figure out. The graff game has gone super soft lately, although let’s not forget that there’s still some real killaz that still keep it grimy and gully out there.

KES-ONE has been a heavy weight in the Australian Graffiti scene for many years, crushing toys and chugging beers. Big Kes got that Wildstyle discipline on lock! There’s a very big graff scene out in Australia and Ima let it be known. I know some mooks out there that don’t even know the difference in between Austria and Australia, well, hell, today Mook-Life came through with this interview to bless you toys with some wicked education. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you one of Australia’s fines:t Big Kes One. Yea I said it, evil wildstyles and nothing else!

Mook-Life: KesOne! Word up, whats good my duke? In a few words, introduce yourself and let these motherfuckers know where you’re coming from.

Kes: YO! What’s up? I write KesOne, I been writing since 1999 and I rep TFH and FX.

Mook-Life: Bloody Wildstyles, razor sharp letters, ill ass fonts, grimy characters and effective color schemes. It’s dat evil madness repped to tha fullest. There’s nothing soft about your graffiti, I see how you gets down. So break down the math behind your approach to graffiti and all this wisdom.

Kes: Well I don’t like soft euro shit with no soul! And what I do has always felt natural, it ain’t for everyone. There’s not many people doing it here in my state, let alone country, which is good. I’m about quality also and paint costs too much to waste on quick shit!!

Mook-Life: On the real, we all graff writers and shit but we couldn’t care less about graffiti. Let’s talk about Australia. What’s the most grimy and fucked up hood in all of Australia?

Kes: Probly somewhere down south in another state. I come from Inala, which is a more fucked up suburb in my city/state. Mixed culture, a lot of Asians and aboriginals live there which was cool when I was a kid though – most of my friends were aboriginals.

Mook-Life: Out here, the Mook-Life staff loves hobos and bums. Are there a lot of homeless people in Australia?

Kes: Yeh man, we got that shit too. Go out in the valley, you have bums hitting you up for change so they can either go drink or buy drugs…Cunts love to chrome here, u spray chrome paint into a bottle, and breathe it in… I guess u can see why they do it, being that I’m a writer and I don’t use a mask, it would fuck you up doing it directly like that. You have bums doing that over there?

Mook-Life: I’ve always wanted to explore Australia’s breathtaking landscapes. I need your advice though. Which national park would be the most appropriate for me to do some LSD in?

Kes: Hahahaha! take your pick! We have good landscapes here, some of the best in the world they say. Not too long ago I ended up in one up the road from a mates after a 2 day binge on alcohol, fuck all sleep and eating weed cupcakes and I don’t even smoke the shit!! Haha – that was fucked.

Mook-Life: Did you ever get arrested with a Kilo of Cocaine in the trunk of your vehicle?

Kes: Nah, never been into drugs a whole lot and haven’t been driving for too long… Had mates run into problems though.

Mook-Life: Kangaroo meat…can you eat it?

Kes: Yeh, Ya can…but people use it a lot for dog food.

Mook-Life: Now, there’s a insane amount of poisonous snakes, deadly spiders and sea monsters all over Australia. Did you ever have any mooked out encounters with any fucked up animals in your life?

Kes: I hate snakes and all that shit! Once, I was getting out of the shower, flipped my towel over to wipe my back and I must of collected this big ass spider and it landed on my back.. I shit myself, I aint going to lie!

Mook-Life: Are there a lot of great white shark bites or attacks up in the hood?

Kes: Hahaha, No! Except for them shady fuckers stabbing u in the back, they the worst kind!

Mook-Life: Now I’ve gotten drunk with thousands of Aussie’s in my life, and I must say, ya’ll sure know how to party hard and pull off crazy stunts. So how is the drinking in public scene in Australia? What time does the liquor store close, what’s your favourite local beer and is the bottle easy to break?

Kes: Around 10 I think bottle shops shut. They’re getting strict here cos a lot of violence happens, so they have like lock out times around 1am I think it is. If u walk outside of the pub or club after a certain time, they won’t let you back in! I don’t know about bottles, but I’ve glassed a dude that was being cheeky! I used to be wild in my younger days, win or lose, didn’t bother me! Take on bouncers, slapping bitches on the ass. Hahaha. Hittin on women in front of their men. Good fun!

Mook-Life: Evil Kes, much respect for coming through. Mook recognize Mook worldwide son. Any last words or shout outs?

Kes: No problems at all! Big shout outs to EF, my crews TFH and FX, Crush city and South of Heaven shops. Peace!
Big KesOne, TFH.FX.
