I wasn’t expecting to find much at L Dub the last time I went there, because I had it in my head that it tends to be fairly quiet there during the winter months. My assumption was rather scuppered though when I came across quite a few pieces I had never seen before, including this lovely classic style combination piece with a modern look by Veks.

The character is an update on the more traditional b-boy look, wearing a two blue tone hoodie and offering a fist bump with the letters ACAB tattooed on his knuckles. The writing too has a modern feel to it, spelling VEK!. The fill of the letters has a stone or rock appearance, with a couple of cracks running through, and the yellow (gold) drop shadow does an extraordinary at lifting the piece from the wall. Overall a great modern classic.
