i got into it becuz me and my bro used to walk around the city
looking at graffiti, on day a few years later i took a walk to go see some new writing, and amazingly every bit of writing was painted over with thick lime green paint, and some of the graffiti was like from the 80's so u know it was mad shit.

so i figured i start writing for myself and it just took off from there

A mate of me saw something of the movie "Kroonjuwelen" on MTV. And from then he was obsessed with it, he told me about it, and that's how it started.

I live in a small town and there's a derailed train that all the "hard-ass" preppy kids write their names on.

One of my best friend's friend did a bunch of absolutely sick skulls on the train and right next to it someone tagged "Bliss." After seeing that and some other sick pieces when I went into the city, I started messing around.

my dad was a graffiti writer so when i was like 7 he gave me a book and taught me to do letters and crap, when i was 13 he bought me my fist 20 cans of paint to do my art, before he died he left me a box full of rusto paint and caps and all his black books. so my dad was my influance on me

[BeesKnees]

I was always really good at art and i always drew my name in bubble letters since i can remember then one day when i was 12 or so i was climbing on the roof of an abandoned factory, for those of you in toronto it was the brickworks, but that was when there was next to no graffiti in it and anyways i found a used can on the roof and my friend identified it as spraypaint so i decided i would do my bubble letter but it ran out halfway through and i had to go back and finish it, and then for the next 2 or 3 months i would go about once a week and usually paint a face around the brickworks and then soon i realised other people did graffiti to, i met artist and realised there was a community with rules, about names, tags, throwups, pieces, and then i started noticing names all around the city, i noticed EYES first, and then it just took of from there
