Dr. Revolt
Dr. Revolt began his practice in 1977 as an original member of the historic New York City graffiti crew, The Rolling Thunder Writers (RTW). Known for doing both tags and elaborate and colorful murals, Revolt developed his reputation by taking over the Broadway #1 line (and later taking it "all city") with his colorful psychedelic and comic art stylings. With his contributions to the seminal classic hip-hop films "Wild Style and "Style Wars", various music videos and his tour of duty in Baltimore where he, like a messenger of style, single handedly kick-started a graff-scene that still feels his influence today.
Dr. Revolt's accomplishments far surpass his early NYC beginnings. In addition to designing several t-shirts, album covers and logo work for various artists including THE FUN LOVIN' CRIMINALS, THE BLACK CROWS, CAMP LOW, GRANDMASTER FLASH, SLY-n-ROBIE'S TAXI DJ, LINK, and SKARHEAD, he also created the classic "YO! MTV Raps' logo. His work has been, and continues to be seen in various publications and art galleries globally.
