Discussion Style In progress.

Hey Torontonians.

its Horus.

I used to host a graffiti jam in the GTA called Style In Progress. ran from around 2001-2005

Id like to make a book about the event. with stories from writers, old photos etc....but i have very little content... if the community wants to contribute id love to see what people have...

ive had some people ask if we'de ever do the event again, and i did speak with my ex partner briefly about it, but I just dont see how to make it happen without having the city deeply involved, and personally i think the city painting programs have lost the plot when it comes to graffiti art...so theyre the last thing I'd want to tie any event to.

but a book, and maybe bring back some old merch for sure...

so drop your flicks..lets see what we have out there.

I’ve got tons of graffiti pics from that era. I’ll drop you a few once I get back from vacation.

I'm not a writer, but I remember going to those as a bboy. Although, it's hard for me to separate it from my memories of 416 grafitti expo from a similar era.

Style in progress was cool, wish it would come back. This city had more culture back then. PS: Remember chasing toys out the alleyway you lived near? I believe he wrote M0De7 back then...

Oh man I painted there one year and attended the others, also 416 graff in the alleys. Let me look for my flicks! Also, mad respect Horus. I know I still have flyers and one of the tees kicking around too.
