Topic: Graffiti

My first graffiti post is a tribute to the writer whose style I most admire. RIP Dondi.

When I was writing I always looked to his letter styles for inspiration. Raw and fresh. Still hold up today.

Do it your way, because everyone else is just weird.

Re: Graffiti

where to start? too difficult to decide as there's so many graffiti writers that have profoundly affected my life with their work.

in terms of New York I'd have to say Duster is pretty special:

also Skeme:

and Seen:

and T-Kid:

of course Dondi too as posted by Communicator... legend.
