How was it coming up in Albuquerque?
Coming up in Albuquerque was really fresh. Doc from LA, Agree from NY, and Stack from Seattle really shaped the scene. Albuquerque writers like myself came up around lots of dope styles. I feel like I was schooled well and was fortunate enough to come up in a town where paint was easy to get and there was an endless supply of good walls. We also had chill train yards and the cops weren't really hip to graffiti like they are now. I have a lot of love for my roots in Albuquerque.
How long have been writing?
I've been writing for a little over 7 years.
How'd you get into it?
I just saw some guys doing graffiti in a ditch I skated at and thought it looked fun, so I just started painting. I wrote for a few months not knowing any writers, then hooked up with people and got schooled.
When did you start doing design for clothing/skate companies?
My first real gig was doing stuff for Tribal Gear around '91. I started working for Think Skateboards in October of '93.
Do you like doing rave flyers, t-shirts of board design as much as graf?
I like working, and I like graf. I like them for different reasons. I fucking LOVE doing graffiti. There are few things in my life that get me stoked like writing graffiti. But getting props for my graphic work is really fulfilling as well.
