Art

Graffiti artist / Graffiti writer

from 1986, my last piece in a Train was in Chicago 2000, and my last wall mural was in Chicago also in 2001, I retired to pursue

other dreams.. and I refused to continue doing it as a commercial use.. graffiti is for the streets not for the canvas, I rather stop than to sell out.

some of my work is at artcrimes under ReK2, but those pictures are bad quality, and took by someone else visiting

I have the real ones and many more if anyone is ever interested let me know.

Here are a couple if you are really curious
