Iz the Wiz @ Tuff City Tattoos | Print | E-mail Wednesday, 17 June 2009 14:49 Behind an unassuming tattoo parlor in the Bronx, a meeting of legends took place. They were there to pay their respects to the master of the graffiti world, Iz the Wiz. The setting was perfect. It looked like a block party with Jimi Hendrix blaring and 40s in hands. Walls covered in vibrant colors, depicting everything from straight tags to women showing off their “assets.” A subway train was taken apart and propped up against the wall. These were to be Iz’s canvases. But the scene was more about a reunion of players in the game than just a glorification of one man. There were artists there who defined the movement during their respective decades starting from the ’70s to the present. Everyone there had their own story. Every person carried a piece of history with them and they were there to share it with each other. Each artist carried around a black book that they were passing around to others, having them sign their signature tags. Each signature was s sign of respect. There was one kid from Connecticut who came to see his idols. A grin never left his face as he passed his book to each one, gaining more and more signatures, and gathering more bits of history. Although it was a friendly environment, many of the artists could point to someone who covered up one of their pieces, and little bits of animosity were still present. There are rules to the game. If artists tag their name, another one can come along and add to it, but covering it is a whole other story. If you asked any person what has changed about the game, they would say the rules and regulations. One artist talked about how back in the ’80s he was caught for tagging and he was slapped with a fine of $58.42. Today it’s considered a felony. With every underground movement there is a stigma, and it would be easy to classify these artists as delinquents. One of the artists, who goes by CES, was contacted by detectives to decipher tags by gangs, but for him it was almost offensive because his art is not gang affiliated. Iz was rather illusive during his time at the parlor. In the beginning, he sat for autographs, but the Wiz is getting older and is much weaker than he once was, and become tired shortly after. He is a sick man, and some say it’s from the lead that surrounded him from his days of painting. Many of the old timers said they felt the effects of their years underground too. But the movement is out in the open with many artists now wearing masks for protection. Walls are commissioned for art; some men travel the world spray painting for crowds. Although many of the spray painters lament that they miss the thrill of sneaking around at night, and waking up in the morning to see their work on the subway trains of New York. If you asked anybody they would tell you that Iz covered the most territory out of anyone they knew. Iz put in the work, and he earned his respect with each train he covered. And that day behind the tattoo parlor Iz brought together a community of artists, and proved that graffiti art can produce a family. Words by Jenna Browning Photos by Jim Kane
