Graffiti writing in New York subways was a creative evolution of lettering that shared artistic synergies with pop art movements.

“I began to having looked been in museums a lot and looked at the work of pop artists Andy Warhol Likenstein Rousenberg like I just absorbed all of that. I'm like wait a minute the stuff that we's doing in the subways is very similar. They inspired by the same stuff.”

The basic techniques of controlling nozzle pressure and distance from the wall are the most fundamental and important aspects of creating graffiti.

“the upshot of all this is the figuring out the nozzle pressure and the distance from the wall are basically the two most basic things that you can understand and learn about graffiti, but it's also the things that come up the most.”
