STESEK

Born and raised in San Fernando Valley, California. Been writing for over 30 years and now living in Tucson AZ for the last 18 years. I’m in several crews and blessed for all the memories created over the years with my crew members.

The streets inspired me heavily. When I was just starting, I remember seeing Smurf & Ghost (rip) UTI tags by my house and I was inspired by their hand styles. My friends Kause & Dr. Myk from USC and Phelon & Nopes from NTS also inspired me with letters, tags, etc. I got into my first crews USC & NTS because of them in the early 90’s and learned a lot about the culture. In the late 90’s I was scribing the MTA busses daily. Around 2000, I got more into bombing and joined MTA. I thank K9er MTA for showing me how to climb the heavens.

The last 10 years I’ve been piecing more and joined the YPN Krew in Tucson and they’ve been a huge inspiration. My style feels like something straight out of the 90’s. I love doing outlines the most. They save paint and leave little room for error, but I love all aspects of graffiti, tags, throws, pieces, characters, rollers. It’s all fun.

Shout out to my wife CHY and kids who have always supported me. Shout out to all crews, crew members and their families. Peace.
