A reader recently sent us this fascinating four minute mini-documentary by John Wikstrom about L.A. graffiti pioneer Karlos "BUMPS" Marquez, and the strange path his artistic life has taken. Once one of LA's O.G. writers, Marquez had his life go off the rails due to drugs and alcohol. Entering corporate life to make a living, he put his artistic ambitions behind him, only to have them resurface in an unexpected way. Watch the video above for the full story, and keep reading for a gallery of BUMPS' work...
We also got the chance to ask Karlos what his favorite taco spot is. The answer?
"My favorite taco spot is El Taurino I love their sopes and tacos de asada."
The image gallery below features both Karlos' commercial furniture work (which you can buy at Cisco Home), and some recent handstyles.
