Zest

Zest X Crew – NYC
I write Zest (X Crew AKA Forever Up) I’m from The Bronx, New York City. I started writing graffiti in 2001, though I was a spectator for years prior to that.

I was influenced by bombers and piecers from the mid-90s to early 2Gz. Crews like FX, TFS, KIS, YNN, RIS, YKK, KMS, BTC, KD, TVT, KRT, IRAK, COK, SMART, KGKASS, HR, BRT, KGB.

Some of my fav writers include Yes2, Korn, Spek(rip), Ket, Revs, VFR, Nekst (rip), Sace(rip), Mista, Skuf, Jest, Louie167, Ryno, Giz.

I would say my style varies a lot, I’m always trying to elevate my game. Throw up wise, it’s very much a Bronx/NYC throw up. Specifically, bubble letters that are consistently shaped with round and sharp parts. I love dropping straight letters wherever other people are used to doing fill-ins and piecing in cutty spots. At times I drop characters and one of my ultimate favorites things to do is rollers, the bigger and higher the better!
