autoteller Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 what can i say. this fucking sucks. RIP IZ THE WIZ We're very sad to bring you the news that Mike Martin aka IZ the Wiz aka one of the original kings of NYC graffiti passed away Wednesday morning as result of a heart attack. The work he did on the NYC subways is legendary and he continued to paint and be an active member of the scene right up until the end. You inspired so many people and for that will never be forgotten. photos and news via Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earl broclo ESQ Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Even if style wars was never made, I think IZ would have still had a powerful legacy for his bombing. He definitely put in work on trains, but his throw up is what most probably think of when they hear his name. R.I.P to a legend.

abrasivesaint Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 that painting looks like it should be one of those ORLY? owls. i agree earl that his throw is imprinted in my head, whenever i hear the name i get a visual of a iz throw, but that also goes for a couple people.
