Banksy.

So many mystery's and words behind this guys work and why he does it but He's crazy unique and hella good. My favorite artist in the world personally. Such creativity and mystery just flow out this guy. I wish i could sit down and talk to this guy and listen to the stories.

He brings politica, emotional, and anytype of modern day topic plus some history through his work. He is based out of Europe which may seem out of place for this blog but He's just so amazing i had to post about him.

Jigle...

This guy is a metal head if I've ever seen one. All ive ever seen is his work on trains. His mad block letter based flow is pretty ill. He mixes it up with the drips from time to time but overall he keeps it straight and real.

I think he might be based out of Memphis cause he's on alot of Memphis cars but I'm not sure. He's forsure orignal. He's a O.G. Metalhead and gets up with alot of the legends. Mad respect for this guy. One of my inspirations.

Ksra..

Ksra pronouced (ker-ser-ra) is a writer from Memphis.  There graff is pretty original. I respect the idea of not going to out of the box. I see them getting up with alot of UH members. UH know as Unholy Crew, Upper Hand, Unruly Hobos.

I beleive they are in but you'll see this person with alot of legal walls down in Memphis. I respect there game and hope to see them get up a little m ore in the Nashville area.

Joy Ride...

Joy Ride is a local writer of the Nashville area. He's known to be kind of a modern hipster type style. His paintings give me the idea of a good since of humor. They give kind of a funny vibe.  Bright colors and big fat cap tags. Reminds me of a circus.

He's a member of CF crew with Rotten Ren and Fourn. Cf stands for what's known as crooks family. I respect his graffiti and he brings a different vibe to graff.

Versuz

Versuz is a member of KOG. He has mad and unique style. He's doesn't  bite anyone. His peices have there on vibe and taste.  I believe he is originally from L.A. but he gets up in the 615 area.

He tends to peice with all the UH and 42 members and alot of Memphis cats peice with him. I have pretty good repspect for this guy. He's a true legend.

The Yams....

The Yams a.k.a. Kill Yourself is a local tagger in the downtown and west Nashville area. Youll find tags in white paint marker on just about every news stand eletrical box etc. He's a mass hitter which means he puts a lot of tags in a row at one time.

His work comes off as a bit mental and crazy or bizzare. But he does a few bombs with paint but not too many. Ive seen one throw up by him and it was just hollow. He's strictly a tagger. I have respect for this guys style and what he's laying down.

Riet, local graffiti artist and tatoo artist in the downtown Nashville area. He strictly does legal peices. He's not a bomber. He's does most of the peices you'll see on the side of venues such as  Rockettown.
He's a extremley advanced and talented artist. He has some of the best can control and color choices of seen from any artist in my life.

He's a tattoo artist at Black 13 tattoo parlor in Cummings Station. I personally plan to get my first tattoo from him. He mostly does characters and comic book style flow. But overall amazing artist with some mad respect.

Read More, Boanes, Book Man

Read More, Boanes, Book Man, whatever he or she goes by they are my personal favorite. They are also one of the most versital and travling artist I've ever seen. This guy gets all the way from Nashville to the roofs of New York. Everything he does is go big or go home i would say. He pulls off these HUGE roller bombs in the most random places.

This guy comes off to me as kind of crazy. Physcologicly disturbed. But i have mad respect and props for this guy. No matter what name he or she goes by Ive gotta throw mad respect for them.

A little bit of fun...

I thought i would have a little fun this time. This video isn't from Nashville but a lot of these writers have similar styles.  These writers are from the U.S. and Australia. There different lifestyles and cities show through there styles.

Augor is from L.A. He is also a bomber. You'll see his work on just about any billboard in L.A.
Enue is a writer based out of Brisbane, Australia. He's pieced pretty much his whole career.

Ewok, one of my personal favorites, is based out of New York City. The big apple. That brooklyn flow definitely shows through.

Hasp

Hasp is a local Nashville artist.  He's a veteran of the game. His style isn't necessarily unique its just weird. He's a member of KOG and 42 crew. Both of those are very skilled paint crews based out of Nashville.

Hasp seems to paint with another local artist named Smok. They both are members of 42. He does alot of track pieces but also bombs. You dont see to many new works out of this guy. I think he's about to retire his career. While he was in the game he supplied us with some great work.

Zew Lives....

Zew. What can i not say about this guy. He's a legend of Nashville really. You'll find him in just about any place you look in Nashville. He's been painting as long as I've been in the game. He's cool with pretty much everyone. He was one of the first Nashville graffiti artist i ever learned about. He started what was IA crew now known as 42 crew.

His style is kind of a tear slaughter type flow. Its got its own unique vibe to it. He is still known for his famous quote he tags on dumpster's and other public utilities "Zew Lives!" I would definitely say He is the most well-known writer in middle tennessee.  Its definitely easy to remember his name and crew incense they rhyme. But when your in nashville just keep an eye out and you'll see him I guarantee it.

Paser

This guy i cant really describe his work. he has kind of a round flow. He pretty much blends a bunch of flares for his fill. He also will do big whole car straight letters. I personally have mad respect for this cat though.

I'm pretty sure this guy is based out of Los Angles. Most of his work around here is on trains so thats why i question it. I have seen a few wall murals though. He is a member of MFK crew. But this guy has a completly diffrent flow and style from any other writers Ive seen. Mad props to this guy.
