Visual ART
Featured Artist: Explicit VisUaLs, There are thirteen members of Explicit Visuals (EV for short) the crew spans from Hawaii to New Jersey. It was established in 1994, some members have been writing graffiti since the early eighties and are history books when it comes to the scene.

Some of their artwork can be found at prototype and too gruvz. The group can paint from cursive to characters to 3d pieces with plenty of pictures to show.

EXpliCit Visuals started in '94 and had about 5 artists then for a while it was locked then in about 2003 they opened the gates again and let 5 more members in until 2005..then in 2007 3 artist that have been painting since the early 80's joined in.. all of the crew are graffiti artists but have expanded over the last few years into canvas art.. doing shows here and there.. the graffiti art is done just mostly to relieve stress. None of the group are gang bangers or druggys, in fact EV includes a teacher ,an elderly caretaker, mechanic for a big car dealership and a solar installer.
