FSD Feature: Kane One’s Top 10 Chicago Graffiti Bombers
Words by Kane One (@Kane_1)
If you’re even somewhat familiar with the local graffiti scene, then you know of Kane One. A staple in the streets and on the walls, Kane One has been an active graffiti artist in Chicago since 1989. With a graf career stretching over 20 years, he’s a member of the storied Def Con 5, Dirty Thirty, and Just 4 Fun crews.
But on top of being your average graf writer, he also has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (2000) and a Masters of Art in Teaching (2011) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He teaches the History of Graffiti at SAIC and will be curating a Chicago group graffiti/street art exhibit at the National Museum of Mexican Art in June 2013. This October, he will have a solo art exhibit at Modest Skate Shop.
With plenty of big projects on deck for the remainder of 2012 and beyond, it was only right that we caught up with Kane for his Top 10 Chicago Graffiti Bombers list. A thorough and in-depth look at Cook County’s finest — it’s off the wall

Wow FSD where did you come up with this COMPLEX strategy?
I appreciate this feature right here it’s def on point, figured Sivel and Temper would be at the top of the list. I took a pic of that same Sivel piece back in the day LOL Bel, Joke and Made U Look crew got up a lot too, and the list goes on of course
you want to compare Bel & Joke to Sivel thats sad go back to school
who is still around from the old school (sub 2000)
DARE Shoudl’ve Made The List RIP
Respect to Kane and every one of these cats listed since theyve put in work but some of these niggas don’t even paint anymore and if they do it’s legal or freights…If it’s top 10 it should be about longevity and being an all around bomber…Temper..Fact..Sivel…Depte..Only dudes on this list that should be there.
