RIP ARKS (UBC)

#FREEVOKoneNOW from ARKS FOUR on Vimeo.

He was one of the indonesian graffiti pioneers,and also one of best indonesian graffiti artist that i ever know. It's ARKS aka ANSWERFOUR from UBC/Underground Business Club (Jakarta,Indonesia). I met him for the first time in Wall Lords 2010, shake the hand, then jammin' together. And i just realized that our first greeting would be our last time when i've got today-information that he has passed away yesterday. That's very sad moment, and i really shock when i heard about it. Futhermore, i couldn't believe that, even till i write this article, he has passed away. He is one who inspired me to do graffiti, to know how indonesian graffiti writer should be, indo writers' attitute, and any other things.

However, he doesn't teach me directly, he gives me lot of knowledge about graffiti. I could see his strong-will when i met him sometime ago. Sadly! He couldn't inspired us anymore,because God had another plan for him. Cool and Superb Indonesian graffiti legend was gone. Superman is dead, that's what i'd say..

Sad endeed to know, Mr. ARKS has passed away so quickly, yet we know that that's the best destiny for him by God. Sir, i'll never forget ya. Even, when somebody who wanna know about indonesian graffiti along the history, then ask me, in twenty-year-later " ...who is the indonesian graffiti legend exactly..?" i'll mention your name..and i'll tellem about you, as far as i know ya...

Good Bye Mr. ARKS, we gonna miss you and your name on the street forever, Big Love and Huge Respect...GBU!
