Juxtapoz Presents: Kunle "EARSNOT" Martins for KROOKED Skateboards

Kunle "EARSNOT" Martins has been a stalwart in the NYC graffiti scene for decades, a unique figure that captures the spirit of street culture and its growth. In this short documentary by KROOKED Skateboards, Martins talks about his studio, the place he lives and how it plays a role in his art-making process.
Martins also goes into detail about how IRAK was born, how skateboarding has influenced his career and how a serendipitous mis-read of "earshot" in SLAP Magazine birthed the legendary moniker, EARSNOT.
Released in conjunction with the EARSNOT x KROOKED skate deck release.

Many of the most legendary graff artists started as kids at the free park or skate spot that were just a little more artistic than athletic.
