Recently Turntable Lab LA held a book signing for CLAW's new book, BOMBSHELL The Life and Crimes of Claw Money. Thanks to Lax for the invite and James for the book I finally got my hands on a copy signed specifically to me. HOLLA.
The book consists of collages upon collages of Claw's (Claudia) life. Contributing authors includes her close friends Miss 17, Minya Quirk, DAZE, Sacha Jenkins, etc etc.
I fuckin' love this book because everything is raw. Collages of jewelry and pictures thrown together with spraycans, caps, and markers. It gives you a pretty good idea of who she is. Pretty photoshopped shit aren't necessary. It's left as real as it is.
Matches for your swishers. Looks better in your purse than the ugly lighters from Mobile.
In my personal opionion, art-wise I don't think Claw puts up the most artistic pieces on the map but the woman gets up and she demands the respect that she deserves. Girls in the graffiti scene are always viewed as weak little bitches that shouldn't be walking up in the alleys and freeways at night, but Claw works the opposite way. She puts her shit up in riskier places along with her partner Miss 17. You better recognize her presence!
Besides bombing the city, She's got her own clothing line going on called CLAW MONEY if you didn't already know. The line carries tank tops, tees, hoodies, jackets, jumpsuits, purses, pillows, accessories, sunglasses, and now it's moving on to cut and sew where she's using vintage designer scarves and transforming it into the infamous bomber jacket. These jackets are under the CLAW MONEY COLLECTION. I heard prices running at about $1,500 but no confirmation on that info yet.
Jackets only available at Colette (Paris), aNYthing Boutique (NY), Bodega (Boston), and Arrive (Miami).
