![]() And if your just talking about regular old slaps I make them from time to time.Īs an artist, who has inspired you over the years? And I have several limited edition runs of 10 on my site. If this is in reference to my Outside the Box 228s I do them by order. Those guys had a massive influence on my interest in pushing the envelope stylistically. Looking to guys like Joker Ba, Giant, Cycle, TWS crew, TMF crew and TDK with Dream and Spie. Also the Bay Area had so many influences that added to the culture of experimentation graf wise. I know that many east coasters were the same way of course, but we really took it a step further. In contrast to what we felt we were seeing on the east coast where a guy would have a dope outline and would do that over and over. We always had to push and try new things. I would also say that the way we came up out West you wouldn’t just do the same piece over and over. But I will say that people have given me a lot of shine off always doing different outlines. How did you develop your eccentric style? Steve Powers has always been inspirational for me. In retrospect ESPO had a throwie that he did with a wing and I would be a fool to say he didn’t influence me. That throwie I started doing in the mid 90’s and at the time I would have said there wasn’t really anyone or anything that I could credit as influence except a ton of car logos like the Aston Martin and Chrysler logos. That throw up with the wings looks very familiar. When I was bombing alot, rooftops were a favorite. What’s your spot preference? Freights, ‘bandos, trackside spots? ![]() I was interviewing BIO from TATS crew the other day for my Podcast My Life In Letters and we both agreed that every time we grab a can we learn something new. In many ways we are always gaining more can control. Like you can get away with a lot on a train or a corrugated metal fence that would come off wack on a smooth wall. Different applications and different circumstances. There are different levels of can control for different styles. How long did it take for you to develop your can control? So I can attribute the look to the letters as some sort of mash up of those 3 dudes. I was biting my man MISK pretty hard back then and he was biting CRAYONE and SKEW just as hard. It was pretty damn good all things considered. I went on a Saturday night not too late and did a COF piece. My Mom owned a restaurant right near it so I felt super comfortable. ![]() I went solo to some walls along the Caltrans tracks in Palo Alto, CA. What was your first illegal painting experience like?
