Suicide or Revlon?
[edit]"He has said that REVS is short for SUICIDE REVS" I thought it was REVLON. One of us must be mistaken.
- Revs is not short for anything. Sometimes he wrote Revlon, sometimes he writes Suicide Revs, but his tag is and has always been Revs.70.18.40.61
I read Suicide Revs in a New York Times article, but can't truly say if Revlon is wrong.
Poetry?!?
[edit]Revs is far more famous for writing his autobiographical stories in subway tunnels than writing any kind of poetry. A few examples: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=32710191&size=o http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=30886959&size=o http://www.flickr.com/photos/ensel/148882018/in/pool-34777310@N00/ More can be found online. It should also be noted that when Revs ended his partnership with Cost, he began making art in tunnels with a graffiti artist named Scope, and they were arrested together.70.18.40.61 16:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
