Standing in the midst of it all, neither higher nor lower, with all those who are working and struggling is The $tatus Faction (T$F).  Change itself is the very basis for our continuity as people.  Located in Hollywood & established in 2007– T$F is a multi-dimensional collective composed of artists, designers, musicians, and elite creative individuals.  Bonded thru respective past experiences, and fueled by congruent future ideologies, T$F is determined to resist conformity.  All things being equal, T$F sets out to create their own scene— while avoiding the invasion of your available ones. 

The $tatus Faction has no rules, restrictions, or familiarities.  The distinct goal is creating quality results– soley to appease our unique perspective and desire.  Although proven successful with visual & commercial art, T$F remains eager to utilize variety in method and media.  Having no mold to the collective’s configuration creates a carefree mind-set, which refrains T$F from all conventional stereotyping.

The $tatus Faction was formed by members of L.A.’s highly respected L.T.S. graffiti crew, the world famous custom printmaking HIT+RUN crew, and New York City’s shining H.B.T.K. graffiti crew.  Simultaneous to aging, we started growing tired of the common practice and resentful of our culture’s present state.  The name Status Faction is obviously a verbal play on “satisfaction” – something missing in our lives.  It is also a description of the people willing to remove themselves from compliance.  Those passionate about creating something absent from society but not to exploit it, rather relish in the success of it’s construction.  T$F, although not opposed to it, was never founded on any ideas regarding financial gain.  It’s an opportunity for us to create the ideal mental and physical environment together.
