Sekt. definateley sekt. im from D town and sekt is the craziest motherfucker in dallas, plus his art is beautiful.
For me my heroes are Agree One (R.I.P.) (TC-5.ATK) old school writers from the bronx came to the 505 Rock One (UKS) Hearo (MTA) Afue (CYM.KYS) Nese (CHE.Z) Sofa (ROF.TUM)
View attachment 585337 ALIE - FDC. Always has. always will be. this is a still frame from graff video i directed with him in it. Thats actually my roller in the top left.
I wouldn't say local because im from the uk but i love cope 2 and seens pieces, there the pioneers of graffiti in the bronx.
SEER, ETCH, CHOKE, CHEMIST, and PASK. I met ETCH and he was the only open person. His buddies IOWA and AFRIK are secretive but I understand that I'm a toy, but Etch was a good man. My favorite by far is Choke though, simply because his tags are simple and not all crazy with add ons.
etch is the dude.....so is pask and iowa and alll them cats. crow, mees, christ 2, all them nigs. and awal . heard choke got popped though

Sometimes sdk makes all these fool s in Vancouver wanna be hardcore writers and gangsters... these guys are just bad and won't try to get help... But I would be nothing without NWK and INK from vancity!
NM (Northern Monkeys ??), TNS (The New Style/They Never Sleep/The Night Shift) and VSD (Vandal Squad) Local crews, not always directly related but always seen together, quite possibly the best artists from 90's - 00's (in my opinion). Don't see to many of their work these days, I guess a lot of them quit, but I've always loved their stuff. INCH, SEBZ, SAER, KEZAH/KEHS, DISM, RAPE, SONE, ROYAL, MASH, among others all put out some of the best pieces in my area. INCH especially is probably the mosty notorious for his levels of tagging and cost of damage to property, as well as the quality of his work. Their work is always very simple, but the quality of the lettering and coloring is always great and it kept getting better the longer they were graffing. This is probably why I like simplistic graffiti so much, from seeing their work all over the place, I'm sure you'll be able to see a lot of influences in my work as that's just what the style was like our way. I'll try not to post too much, but here's some of my favourites (all from 90's - 00's)...
