"When did you start writing?" After having been asked the question so
many times I do wonder exactly when was the instant when I started
writing so-called graffiti. I can't pinpoint the exact moment but I do
remember that I started to be fascinated by the writing on the hallways
of my projects when I was in the 5th grade. This was in 77 just before
the big blackout. I remember that the king of the hallways in the
McKinley Projects Building 905 on 161st and Tinton Ave was Jug... Continue reading...

in later years it evolved into ROCSTARS. When were you first attracted to the graffiti culture? I b... Continue reading...

 Born and raised in the
streets of Washington Heights, TOTEM was no stranger to the IRT #1 line

1 line at that time, when graff was graff, he got interested in it real
quick.

more as he attended ART & DESIGN HIGH SCHOOL IN 1984.

I could say I started graffiti when I was about 5 years old. At that
point I lived in Mexico and had a patio with this huge blue wall that
looked boring. It would make me think of the sea. One day I decided to
pick up a few painting utensils as crayons, markers, spray paint and
drew a huge whale and fishes with random letters on the side! Haha, I
remember this because I got my ass beat and my dad made me scrub the
shit of for days even though it never came off! Haha! After that... Continue reading...
