Out of South Philly is some of the most precise airbrush work I’ve ever seen from some punks who must of been taggers, cause the quick turn around is flawless.

These cats have a whole list of services none of which include selling t-shirts down by the pier. I’ll be bold enough to say that there’s a certain stereotype attached to airbrush artists and owner Fred Sicoli’s damn near legitimized the craft; a nice approachable studio in a South end residential community, accessible to those with the money to pay them, riff-raff no where to be seen and the man even lands invites to some of the sickest bike shows across the country.

A majority of the clientele seems to be the street bike crowd who have enough surface room for the artist to create a tip to tail masterpiece and enjoy the attention the vivid work awards them. Not much for street bikes? That’s ok too, Killer Kreations will take on any truck, rod or chopper that desires a drive through the studio, they even have a signed contract with Pat Laughlin aka Lumpy the fearless BMXer. I’ll take one sexified bike please.

Don’t go thinking these guys spend all their time designing and driving, they spend weekends giving back to the creative community. That’s right kids, wicked cheap, three hour long airbrush classes. If we could get them hooked up with South Side Kustoms, the NorthEast would be a helluva place.

    Great article, I like the mention of “taggers” they never get enough credit for the art except in an exceptional forum like this one.
