These cans were made for the Legends of Style 2 show with Seen, Ces, Med, and others in Boston, April 2005. The cans combine my love for vintage spraypaint and the great names sometimes given to colors.
The 4 colors are Depression Grey (0000), Suicide Black(0666), Slit-wrist Red(0001), and Still Blue(0001).
Each can actually started as a a vintage can of a 1980's Krylon "notch-top" or "paper label" spraycan. The cans were emptied and refilled with custom colors (each can of the same color may vary slightly). The caps are painted to match the color and paper labels are attached. The paper labels are reminiscent of the old Borden cans of Krylon, but with an "ALONE" logo, and slight alterations to the text such as "Harmful to All Environments" "Guaranteed Future Classic", and "Worth More When I'm Dead". To top it all off the bar-codes on every can correspond to the can number and the bar codes work.
4 colors were made with only 3 of each making a total of only 12 cans.
Each can is signed and numbered. Contact Me if you are interested in one of the few remaining cans.
