History of Writers

~ Hand Style 4 ~

What is in a name?  Everything!  How a name is written however, is even more important.  Hand writing is the first step in becoming a Graffiti writer.  Writers put in much time and pride into there tags.  Writers developed there tag, to stand out from others due to the competition.  In time, a writers tag became a label of who they were, and who they are today.

******************************************************************************************************

DIME 139 shows us a highly stylized hand style.  He may be one of the most over looked artist of his era, however his list of credits is the painting of the Freedom Train.  DIME was the Queens president, of the crew, SSB and helped take it a step further onto the E, F, GG and RR train lines, in the 1970's.  DIME still holds the index card of all the members he put in.
