Dripping with KRink

re-size
Craig "KR" Costello, an independent artist/entrepreneur from Queens NY, earned a reputation in the 90's for writing graffiti in his signature drippy silver ink nicknamed "Krink." Never imagining an illegal form of self-expression could become a profitable business, Costello's homemade "Krink" has since become a cultural phenomenon and Costello's primary source of income. This pod by vc2 producer Dan Bruun and Jason Schneider will expore the appropriation of KR's style and ink by the art world.
