sotofish Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Thought this might be a nice thread. Los Angeles has produced some of the most influential writers in the history of modern day graffiti. There's always new shit going on; LA's continually progressing forward and destroying boundaries. I have too many favorites, here's a few (in no order): Tackz, Revok, Kofie, Steam, The Mac, Rich, Man One, Saber, Skill, Dove and Fear, Maxx, Japan, Swank, Gylt, Lapse, Frame, Toonz, Risk, Hex, Mear, Push, Hate(dbi), Cre8, Phable, + more.

Joker Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Originally posted by sotofish Krush too Personally, I think this guy was slept on by the rest of the writing community at large. Maybe in California he had a good fan base, but elsewhere... I couldn't get a conversation going about him. No one had heard of him or seen his work. Or claimed they hadn't at least. I'm a huge fan of his work and wish he had more coverage. His old pieces still hold today. Definitely one of the more innovative writers of our time. Much respect. I also enjoyed just about everything Skill ever painted. That guy could just do no wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daus Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 ...peace to the I.E. HEX and SLICK revolutionized how burners were executed and viewed in a lot of controversy both publicly and in the graff world. Most people still can't do the shit they were doing ten years ago. KISS ONE was the first graff writer I saw that didn't stick to traditional ways of getting your name out and gets my vote... Remember those punkrock KISS stencils back in the day??

Esai Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I remember OG Chaka, Cab's heavens, jero, sub, sleaz,toomer, soloe,spare, yr's fo one summer, stk, ska k2s,k4p,lod. the list goes on and on.Although LA is and always has been off the hook, I loved the way it was the year or 2 before that faggot ass Chris whatever exploited the whole tagbanger scene, that blew it up and severely fucked up the scene and left a scar to this day, people still associate writin wit gangs!!!!!!! Ive noticed a lot more bombin in the LOS all over the place when I go home to visit, I cant wait to go home. STOLEN LAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
