Bodé Expo in Paris
With great excitement to present the first Bode
Gallery show of its kind
in Paris France. Vaughn Bode visited Paris in the mid 70s before his death
in July of 1975 and loved the city and its people and met and became
friends with many of the great cartoonists of the time such as Tardi,
Moebius, and Drulliet. Vaughns’ style of bubble lettering and characters
became New York City's very first inspiration to the earliest graffiti
writers on the subway cars that ran in the 70s and 80s in NYC.
The Bode style has since influenced countless artists in Hip Hop and
Graffiti culture around the globe and is touted as the very foundation of
the spray can art movement.
Mark Bode is the heir to this legacy. His father trained him as a young boy
to think of the Bode characters as real and the worlds as a place to share
and visit. Mark has faithfully carried on the family style and finished many
of the projects Vaughn never got to finish in his short time with us. Mark
continues to build on the Bode legacy and art in his own right as well as
continue to build onto the families legacy in comics and art.
"Le Monde Erotique de Mark Bode et Vaughn Comics pour Graffitis" the
focus is on the voluptuous and sexual Bode Broads and the characters made
famous by the Bodes and the street artists they inspire. Many of Vaughns’
classic original drawings will be on display as well as his personal sculptures
and memorabilia.
Mark has done 30 new paintings on canvas and NYC subway maps adorned
with his and his fathers beloved characters to be seen for the first time at
the show.
Also a very special night it will be as the premiere of “THE BOOK OF ME BY
CHEECH WIZARD” will be released to the public for the first time express
mailed straight from the printer—a 150 page full color hard cover book
featuring the complete Cheech Wizard stories by Vaughn, photographs and
new comics and stories by Mark.

Well, here it is…
Today, the Nike Bruin is released by NikeLab. It is accented by
a bold red
swoosh, which is particularly prominent due to the absence of heel tab
and tongue markings.
Whatever happened here...we don't know
