Some of his work can be seen on Flickr, including in the South Florida graffiti pool.

I was in Amsterdam the other day and kept seeing works by laser 3.14. Not what you expect, on almost any front.

Writer Highlight: Zimad TD4

South Bronx 1979, Zimad starts what turns out to be a pretty long standing presence in graffitidom. His style is consistent and varies all at the same time. Candylicious colors and smooth, clean, slick lines; if we lived in an animated Miyazaki graffiti world it would look like this. Peep for yourselves…

Writer Highlight- Paebak NSF CTW IPC

Pretty much any city you’re in, Paebak’s been there. There’s a wall with Paebak on it. And if not, there’s a train or a light pole or some wind strewn trash. Taking the train through some small West Virginia town and boom, there’s a Paebak throwie trackside on the back of a shed. His style carries the fun and color of a demented circus or cartoon but also generally adheres to a pretty traditional graf letter form and readability. Most importantly, he’s up.
