Mar 12, 2008 - Not many people are able to bring back the magic from that place we come from and in the end all return to. But he was one.

willsclassic Says:

Apr 4, 2008 - This is fascinating video. You'd think from Bode's work he'd sound much more out there, but he actually sounds\sounded level headed and quite intelligent. Too bad he never did any work for Warren, beyond a few collaborative covers with Jones and Todd, as he'd've probably been given fairly free reign.

CyDaSnake Says:

May 18, 2008 - Dangit, I don't wanna break up the 22 comment count that being "Bodes number" through my eyes as he was born on the 22nd of July (2:22PM aswell but I could be confusing that with Cheech) but I wanted to mention that I STRONGLY agree with Vaughns idea of "You'll succeed very well as long as your work is your own stuff" as I myself make that one of the main rules when I draw and he's also correct about how many copiers there are, just look at how many people limit themselves by Animes rules!

Jan 22, 2009 - Thank you so much for this video, its fantastic to see Bode at work, drawings, talking about his work.

Aug 21, 2009 - This man was a genius. He was WAY before his time.  As an ex-graffiti writer from NYC, I grew up seeing him idolized by the top graffiti artist. It wasn't uncommon to see Cheech Wizard and the Bode females characters illustrated on the trains. To this day, I still look at his magazines for guidance. Peace to Mr. Bode (RIP), Stan 153, Noc 167, Dondi (RIP), Snooze TC5, and the others...

Oct 12, 2010 - His death was due to autoerotic asphyxiation at age 33. That's pretty weird

Nov 16, 2011 - Heritage Auctions on line.  Expensive.

genkijin Says:

Nov 17, 2011 - thnx saw that Cobalt 60 page for $1800. An orig Cheech wiz page must be ridiculous but I think its definitely worth it to be able to say "I have an orig BODE on my wall" AHHH!

leesagrrl Says:

Dec 1, 2011 - Vaughn was a seriously talented fella. Some of my favorite 60's Artists have had such serious accidents... Vaughn and Rick Griffin were two of the best.

KingOfThe4Way Says:

Feb 6, 2012 - word.

lowlypeasant Says:

Feb 12, 2012 - Like Vaughn Bode, I'm a Cheech Wizard. Never quittin', so won't you listen?-Sure Shot / Beastie Boys

lowlypeasant Says:

Feb 12, 2012 - He always reminded me of Marc Bolan. Can you imagine what he would do with graffiti?
