    1)Saw my cousin's toy ass shit (He bit Mr.Wiggles I Think)
    2)Google'd "graffiti"
    3)Artcrimes.com
    4)Learned what it was about.. and then saw the pieces.. wow.. the first writers I saw were like eros, sket, skam, maze, bacon, msk/awr crew.. all those guys inspired me and graffiti just took over

    seeing it around town as a kid always facinated me so it was only a matter of time before i tried it out myself. never had anyone to show me the ropes just kinda invented the ropes as i went... thats kinda how i roll anyways tho so it kinda fit in.

    basically my bro used to draw a lot as a hobby but it wasnt graffiti. Being the younger one, u always try to imitate what ur older bro was doing. I tried drawing but i sucked ass. I still do...anyways, i always used to see graffiti around my town but it was some sucky ass toy shiz. But, it inspired be nonetheless. I suppose i wanted to try graffiti since i was a piece of crap at drawing objects and anime characters or whatever u wanted to draw like trees or whatever. Haha, guess i wanted to show my bro up. I never really did get into...i just looked at it and was like, "hey, thats cool...even though it looks funky....and it is illegal...cool." So i decided to buy the game Jet Grind Radio for dreamcast and i think the designs and that badass game is what inspired me the most. I fricken beat the game and was looking at all the designs and tried to note what was what and how it could have been done. There were many different styles so the best thing i could do at the moment was to create my own. I was a piece of crap toy in the beginning....as is everyone....but kept on practicing and practicing and praciting and..........

    I was running "STEALTH" back then...and now, i have the names Craze/Sare under my belt. im not a fricken king of the streets or anything close to that but i can hold my own. at least i am out of the toy stage.

    wow i cant really remember, i think i started because i saw a guy doing bubble writting and some simple bombs and that inspired me to write but i didnt know how to do it but later like in 7th my cousin got me into writting and then the rest is history
