gevatter69 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 RIP IZ!!!!!!!!! from bombersblog: Heute morgen von Quik und Zephyr bekommen. IZ the WIZ, einer der Legenden des Graffitiwriting aus NYC schlechthin ist an einem Herzfehler gestorben. IZ’s Arbeiten und er selbst waren u.a. in der Graffitikultbibel Subway Art und im Film Style Wars zu sehen. Er gehörte zu den Writern, die weltweit Beachtung fanden durch die oben genannten Medien: Dear Friends, I have just learned that our esteemed colleague, Michael Martin has left this life for one of comfort and serenity. Please keep him in our hearts and perhaps prayers when appropriate. Mike was a kind and thoughtful man, who has struggled most of his life, yet bestowed upon us memories of his boundless creative energies and humor. Michael Martin was true royalty, reigning creative over our NYC landscape like no other warrior. Michael Martin November 30, 1958-June 17, 2009 …I shall miss you, Mike and cherish the memories of the best times we have shared. Lin FRIENDS, I AM SO VERY SORRY TO USE E-MAIL FOR THIS MESSAGE. IT IS WITH A VERY HEAVY HEART THAT I CONVEY THIS DREADFUL NEWS, THE PASSING OF IZ THE WIZ. IZ COLLAPSED AT HIS BROTHER’S HOME IN FLORIDA, AND WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS HEART FAILURE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DUDE. A MELLOW, POLITE AND PEACEFUL MAN. I AM GLAD THAT HE WAS SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS, FANS AND FAMILY AT HIS TUFF CITY SHOW IN THE BRONX, JUST DAYS AGO. A MONUMENTAL OCCASION, AND I KNOW HE WAS HAPPY AND PROUD OF HIS MOMENT TO SHINE. AS FURTHER INFORMATION COMES MY WAY, I WILL CONVEY IT. PEACE TO ALL, ZEPHYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droolo Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Massive respect to the all-time NYC subway king, rest in peace IZ THE WIZ. I clearly remember when starting to write back in 1978 everyone spoke of the two kings, IZ and VINNY. But IZ was by far the all-time king, for many years before that, and many years afterwards. Seeing the IKE and SIKE pieces rolling by on the J's is permanently burned into my memory, not to mention the countless IZ fills every year on practically every line I ever rode. Then, 20 years later in 1998, a brand new red and silver IZ THE WIZ piece on a white B&M boxcar rolled by me while benching a freight, and was just so incredible and inspiring to see. Rest in peace IZ, and thank you for the unbelievable and unmatched amount of work and inspirational continuity you put in throughout your lifetime.
