Birth of Graffiti

Check out John Naar's, of The Faith of Graffiti fame, new book the Birth of Graffiti, plenty of ill photos from the golden age of handstyles, before all your fancy 3D pieces came into vogue and back when writing wasn't about hip hop

Apparently two letter tags are more prominent in Queens. You have JA, MQ, SP, and two KR's. One of the street bombing, Krink fame and an earlier one of the Subway Art fame.

The latter reached out to me recently with this little gem of a handstyle. Enjoy.

Just put their names into any search engine. They are world-renowned. They’ve lectured at M.I.T. and exhibited at the Smithsonian.”

We've come a long way since the early days of graf photography. Vandals site copyright protecion and lawyer up. Loving it. Click the link above for the full stroy at the NYTimes,
