RIP IZ The Wiz...
a true gaffiti legend...

IZ THE WIZ: All time all-city king
Aliases: IZZY, CI (CRAZY IZ), IKE 327, CLICK
Started:1972
Primary affiliations: TMB, POG, TOP, 3YB, TC
Local origin: Queens, NY
Main lines: ALL CITY

Iz The Wiz is without question one of New York City’s
most prolific writers of all time. He holds the title of
the All time All City King of New York City Subways,
and only one person holds that prestigious honor.
In aka Kill 3 is credited with the most extensive all-city
bomb in NYC during 1975 and 76, but Iz was the longest
reigning all-city king in NYC history, taking the title
many times throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Iz was
well known for his throw-ups in the mid 1970s on the
IND and BMT subway divisions. In the late 1970s he
broadened his focus by working on top-to-bottoms,
burners and scenery whole cars on the prestigious 2
and 5 lines of the IRT subway division. During this
period he simultaneously maintained all-city throw-up
king status. He painted for a variety of top level crews.
He has served as president of The Master Blasters
and the Queens division of Prisoners Of Graffiti.
He has also painted for The Odd Partners, The Crew,
The Three Yard Boys and others too numerous to
mention. Iz appeared in the documentary film Style
Wars and portrayed a transit police detective in the film
Wild Style. His work has been displayed in museums
and galleries throughout the world. Iz played a
major role in the development of writing and provided
inspiration for every generation of writer that exists.
Hailing from Queens Iz took over the city subway
system line by line. During his career, there was a time
when he was doing at least 100 throw-ups every night,
for an entire year. The dedication and love for writing is
apparent in all of his works, from the burners on the
trains, to the sketches on paper, and the canvases that
capture the essence of writing, Iz often drops little side
notes next to his the pieces, a little message that takes
a minute to sink in and when it does, you always get a grin.

Iz is also known for his epic role played in the film Style
Wars. His witty remarks remain some of the most
quoted words and phrases in the writing lexicon.
When just the words you have said 20 years ago are
recognized and used in current conversations, you
have successfully made your mark in the world.
In the film Iz was asked “when will you stop”, and he
replied “will come back every now and then to let people
know I am still around.” The true beauty is the fact that
he never left and continues to bless the people with
gems that capture the essence of what graffiti writing
all about. (from at149st.com via whatyouwrite.com)

Respect to Iz The Wiz and all our fallen soldiers.

Last night....at the California College of Art
in San Francisco....



I was invited to be a part of the panel following the
San Francisco Design Week screening of
HANDMADE NATION!
(They are probably sorry now!)

As you may or may not know, Handmade Nation
documents the Handmade Craft/Design movement
sweeping the nation, which San Francisco has been
at the forefront of!

I didn't really know what I had signed up for, thanks
Eden;P and when we got there the screening room was
full..totally packed. When it came time for Q/A, I got that
nervous, hollow feeling in my stomach...I always think
these public speaking things are cool until the moment
I have to do it! I think Eden (Secession) and Kelly (Indie Mart)
did a great job of sharing their stories and experience.

And for the record, if anyone who attended really needs
some small business advice, business mentoring, etc... 
Please email me for more info: nate@nate1design.com

I want to thank all the people working with SF Design Week
and Kristen for letting me tell the New Skool story. Woorrrd up!

And the movie is so dope..I loved it!
(Can I be in the next one? Please!!!)

There is nothing more gratifying than "doing your thing."
But being able to teach students about it is another level.

I am currently working on a Graffiti Art Mural in dedication
to one or our Bay Area's finest...Mike "Dream" Francisco.
Rest in Power...



There will be more news on this when we, MPC, finalize the mural.

As for New Skool....things are doing really well...ALL the local stuff

Thank you everyone who has written us about the
most recent knock off of New Skool....you guys are so
funny...I'd hate to be them..yall sound more mad about
it than us! Go NEW SKOOL CREW!!! Get 'em!!!!

Thank you for bringing it to our attention in the first place.
I thought I would let you know those suckas contacted us.

This local company had some of their "robots" email us...
I had a good laugh seeing how they are so worried about
tarnishing their little image. Too late suckas.

You are going down... just like your stocks. Why don't you
do another "cherry" line...that's more you guys anyway!

Have a good weekend!
