While Irina was in NYC doing fancy schmancy things for Columbia Journalism School, she called her long-time Flickr friend and graffiti artist Royce Bannon to catch up. Irina met Royce when he was the photo editor of The Source hip hop magazine he sent her a hand-painted tshirt that she wore an early episode of GETV. Irina and Royce discuss how he got into what he s into. Royce Bannon aka R. Bizzle is a member of New York s infamous Endless Love Crew and his work will be on display on the west coast at LA s ThinkSpace Gallery from Jan. 9 - Feb 6, 2009 in a show called From the Streets of Brooklyn. (GETV would like to thank Matt Matossian of For Your Imagination Studios in NY who shot this episode for us. He is also the world-famous Shirtless Apprentice)
