GORK
Born and raised in the Midwest. Chronic doodler. I've been drawing and sketching since I was able to hold a pencil. I've always had a fondness and admiration for graffiti. I have an associate's degree in graphic design but haven't pursued art as a career as I had originally intended. My artistic style and approach have shifted and changed over the years. I certainly, hope to strengthen my letter game to the caliber of my original character illustrations that have leveled up over the course of the last year. I currently rep ECSK, OTN, RGB, and BKI. My favorite writers as of right now are Geser, Vogey, Kever, Icky, Bugs, Amuse, Aerub, Stuck, Sege, Kaisy, and Kesti (and that is just to name a few)

GOLIATH
I grew up in Baltimore Maryland, was born in 72”. Came up into my own in mid 80s early90s n tha’s about the time hip hop n art caught my attention. We were seeing early tags in Baltimore. Ouch was doing his thing then Shaken, then by early 90s a lot of us inner-city kids were tagging, was even spreading to suburbs at that point. So we all tried our hands. Right after that, I found the rave scene n branched out that way meeting a lot of writers. I got wrapped up in drugs n alcohol and that fkd’ me a while. I ran some restaurants and then I got into tattooing and took that serious for a good while. I had a sadness in me until I started painting again now in my late 40’s. If you ever feel the call to create PLEASE ANSWER IT!Huge props n Shout Out!: ADAM, STAB, KAR, KUZIN, MEEK, GASE, MODE, SHAKEN, ZEK, LURK,RIDE, HUSKE, RANDOM, ISSUE AND PRAISE

Mask
Born in Italy in a small town where I started doing writing with my friends. Shoutout to Kelp.Going often in Rome and charmed by the style of the city and the street life that a big city can offer. Understood that a small town was not for me I decide to move following my research. Moved to Uk, traveling and painting around Europe I stay definitely in London where I am right now active. I want to shout out all the people and friends met over the years and especially to my twin Cora. 2w!n$

Iph OFA AEK
Started in 87 in Compton, had to change it to "If/Iph" when I got switched on by Purr (KD) in like 1991. THE first SD crew I got in was NM. My crew history/lineage is NM, RTS, PGK, OFA, AEK, K187, TNE, STP. In 2001 became a firefighter and started giving back to the community. Helped start a couple of nonprofits helping youth get off probation and help them in their art (MAAC and Turning the Hearts Center). In 2013 I started Aerosolympics, a graffiti art and battle show/event that eventually grew to tour many Southern California Cities when we were absorbed into the Extreme Autofest car show circuit. DyseOne being one of our supporters and sponsors in its second season. Currently, I curate several walls in San Diego, Pacific Beach, and Chula Vista, CA.; Seligman, Yuma, and Phoenix, AZ. I also am in development with the County of San Diego's Probation Department to create a mural for their new Probation building in North Park, San Diego, while being mentored by an art professor from Southwestern College. ...all while still catching tags, slaps n bombs here n there.
