A legend of the local graffiti and skateboarding scene recently passed away. In his tribute a mural is being created in Reno, part of which includes his trademark letter style. Our reporter for this episode Richard Bednarski interviews another graffiti artist taking part in the project who goes by Easoe. He has plenty to say about who he calls the godfather of graffiti in the Truckee meadows as well as about the local and national history of graffiti and the effects of gentrification.
