Rest In Peace: Nekst MSK

[Fecal Face]

Another prominent member of our culture has left us too soon. Nekst was the type of writer I would like to be if I were still active today. He like too few others kept the spirit of bombing alive in the almost forgotten rebellious , balls to the wall, illegal fashion that the culture was founded on. He went hard for big prominent spots in multiple cities. His work was big and clean and had great impact. He was a loyal stand-up guy to his friends. He was loved by those who knew him and his untimely passing leaves a mountain of grief to those lucky enough to have painted with him or been his friend. My condolences to his brother, extended family, friends and fellow crew members.

I heard from a local writer Mase, who paints with MSK occasionally, that Nekst overdosed last night. I'm really upset about this, as Nekst was easily one of my favorite graffiti writers.

He was a visionary and a fucking ballsy motherfucker. He did shit that I wouldn't even imagine. He was certainly one of the greats.



















Rest In Piece, Mate.

Well he'll certainly be remembered as an Angel in the graffiti world <3

Yeah, it really sucks. I hate to see people go like that, he was in his mid 20's.

Damn dude, I can recall seeing more than a few of his pieces in person over the past 4 years or so......This fucking sucks man. Definitely a talented dude....but its usually the most talented who go out early....Definitely Rest In Peace.

A Nekst tag at a popular, slightly downhill ledge/pad spot in Williamsburg (You may recognize it from Stay Gold)...It was covered up like 2 years ago.

around the corner from my old bushwick apartment (think this ones still around)

Ballsy tag on the old sugar factory (now hip hi rises) I think this ones still here too

And OF COURSE there's the big ass one in chinatown you already posted.

When he painted with ADEK it made my PP hard.

They both are such talented bombers, RIP.

EDIT: Here's a sick flick I found on 12oz today.
