Montana ICONIC SERIES BLADE
The 5th Montana Cans ICONIC SERIES featuring NY graffiti legend BLADE
Ever since the first words were painted onto subway cars in the Big Apple, the art form has been thriving. While most names have faded over time, some have stood out. With well over five decades under his belt, Blade definitely belongs to the latter category. In graffiti terms, he achieved the undisputed king status. Straight from the birthplace of graffiti as we know it today, he is one of the founding fathers of our beloved culture. His iconic bubble letters are easy to recognize and have achieved universal fame through cult publications like Subway Art. We are proud and humbled to announce our upcoming Iconic Series #5 Blade: Portia Ogburn-Red (Gold 2095 Blood Orange). The design is as personal as can be: while the shot of the classic 1970s panel was taken by Blade himself, he later realized the house where he was born is in the background — a lucky coincidence, the color is named after his late wife, Portia Ogburn, making it a testament to the love for his family and his passion after decades in the game.
