More styles from back in the day. This drawing is from '94. It's the first page in one of my old graffiti blackbooks. HIVES was my girlfriend at the time, my first love.

I'm hoping you can see that my black and white aesthetic was already locked in back then. I also had 5 years of graffiti writing under my belt at that point so that part of my style was already locked in too. I'm sure you can see my interest in tattoo style was already there too. And my dedication to the women in my life should be pretty obvious in this spread too.

I know it's easy to copy the look of my stuff, but you can never copy the life I've had or the people I've known.

Real recognize real.
