Q. What made you fall in love with Graffiti?
A. The way the trains looked in the 80’s made me fall in love with graffiti. While in high school I was fortunate to see the works of writers like Seen, Zoom, Web, Reas, Ghost, Wane, Sent, Dero, and others running on the trains and it was better than any museum you can imagine. Along with that growing up in Williamsburg there was a writer named Atom that had some of the best pieces in all of Brooklyn right in our hood. He kept Brooklyn colorful and fly even with all the abandoned buildings. Later when I first met the writers that were doing it and they broke down how it was done, I was hooked.
