IN MEMORY OF BERNIE PEREZ a.k.a. CRUDE OIL
This post has been both an honor and a burden to write, because of the love I have for my brother Bernie and the sadness I feel remembering him. With help from friends, I am hoping that my homage to one of the most interesting people to ever come into my life makes everyone proud.
I remember Bernie most for that never ending smile that always lit up any room he was in. He had such a strong presence for such a small frame, always joking around and always ready for anything. I replay in my mind my brother hanging and banging on the beach with everyone else, getting busy inside the club with some of that MIAMI BOOTY DROP. My boy Bernie could get down! Bernie was also one of the smoothest people I knew with the ladies, a great wingman. I miss those days when all our lives were simpler.
Whether you loved or hated him, the one undeniable thing you had to respect him for was his skill in the art of graffiti. He was considered one of the elites, a Babe Ruth of handstyles if you will. He made it look so easy. At his services I realized how many people did love and respect him, from old school friends and faces to a whole new generation of aspiring writers.
Bernie a.k.a. OIL will live forever in our hearts and memories, I love you brother and miss you.
Knowing I could not pay homage on my own in order to do Bernie proud, I was fortunate enough to interview some of Bernie’s closest friends and ask them three questions about him. Here’s what BASH, JUNE, and BASER had to say:
BASH
How would you describe Bernie in one word?
“I would describe Bernie in one word easily…..”Radical”
Tell us your fondest moment with Bernie?
“My fondest memory of Bernie could easily be us walking out of a bar on South Beach lit, I look across the street and i see “enemies,” I turn to Bernie and say “you ready homie?” he’s like “let’s do it.” Mind you we are out numbered, out sized but never scared. I hollar wussup my nigga FSTV, they turn and said wussup, then we strolled down an alley and it was on. We just didn’t give a fuck and still I don’t, the fight was even, I got the last punch in, dude fell on the seat of his pants and we literally just stopped fighting with them dudes and went to another bar and continued drinking like nothing! Bernie was small in size but a giant when it came to his heart. I will never forget any of the time we spent together good or bad. Miss you homie!”
How do you feel Bernie has impacted the grafitti world?
“Bernie blessed this game of ours in such a huge way, his handstyles admired by the world, his throwies known by all and his pieces had a complicated simplicity to them.
He left a huge mark on society… and no one can take that away ever… CrudeOil lives!”
The Bash King
STV Prez!
JUNE
How do you feel Bernie has impacted the grafitti world?
His work ethic and no holds barred attitude were unparalleled in The Great Writing Culture!”
Tell us your fondest moment with Bernie?
How do you feel Bernie has impacted the grafitti world?
“Bernie’s impact on the writing world I feel iz still yet to be measured. His handstyle was one of the meanest and most infuential of someone his age. His commitment to mastering his craft can be compared to a lot of the greats. And what he did for all of the brotherhoods and families he wrote with and was a part of will always be cherished. He carried a lot of weight in that small frame of his… He lived harder then most and was respected coast to coast and abroad.
On that note I leave you all with one of his witty quotes.”
“You Know who the fuck I am”

How would I describe Bernie in one word? Influential. I and the people who love you will keep your spirit alive forever. Rauly Ral

WEST INDIAN PARADE
Yesterday my girl Thea takes me to her favorite parade, the West Indian American Labor Day Parade, and as we got there, what she had told me to prepare for the event was not nearly enough, because when we got off on Franklin Ave I thought I had been transported to Trinidad or Jamaica. The parade route along Eastern Parkway was full of all types of West Indian food, trucks repping each island, music thumping crazy loud, people in costume, it was really like being at carnival.
If you’re ever in Brooklyn on Labor Day, this is the place to be. As you can see from the pics I stuffed my face with Trinidadian bake shark, doubles, Jamaican patties, jerk chicken and a fresh coconut with a shot of Jamaican overproof rum (hardcore). My girl also had me try scotch with coconut water. I’m a big scotch drinker and love my poison on the rocks, but I had to admit it was pretty smooth and tasty with the coconut water.
I can’t say enough, the people were feeling it and the booty we saw out there was crazy. There was also a big New York political agenda, like most parades, check out the close-up I got of New York Governor Patterson.
Yo Ron I thought I saw you everywhere out there shun!!
HUUMMMBBYYY!!!
POP UP STORES
We need to look into opening up a pop up store, just like everyone else and there mom is doing, but we need a theme just like the JUICE popup store in Shanghai. I’m thinking PAN CON CROQUETA (for those who don’t know, it’s a sandwich with ham croquetas in it). Hit me with your ideas and check out the JUICE store:
Opening September 4th in Lu Wan District, Shanghai, Juice will open an exclusive pop-up store cleverly titled ‘Juice Stand’, with a refreshing twist on their previous logo. The store will be home to Adidas Originals, specifically for their current O by O, Neighborhood and Consortium 3-way projects and will bring the unique and creative design partners together in one space. Similarly to their Hong Kong based flagship store, Clot apparel will also be available. The main aim of Juice stand is to “encourage the creativity and originality of people”.
HUUMMMBBYYY!!!
