    word, i remember i started graff in grade..ughht..10. I had two dumbass in my class that had failed grade 10 math like 3 times (they were much older then me) and i started hanging around them and one day in class buddy pulls out his blackbook and starts workin on a piece and i was facinated.. He showed me how to form letters and shit and i have been working and dropping bombs ever since. I have come hella long way from where they started me, but they were hardcore in throws and tags so i became hella good at my handstyles

    My bro was hella in to street art but I didn't really pay attention to it until I was like 13, than I was like "Holy Shit, This shit is tight". All it took was a sharpie, can of flat black speed enamle from the local ace and a mailla folder turned stencil.

    damn was I a toy :huh:

    I First started getting interested in gaff when my brother pointed out ha-ha 's ned kelly stencil and he explained about who it repressents and crap. but never knew how to do it, till this year when i saw the documentary Rash and got into stenciling more and started doing it.. till now that i am getting into writting after just trying to figure out a cool way to sign my stuff and looking at more of others
