In my book I quote SINER and RISK about the inspiration and influence of SOON ONE who came out to live in L.A. But to make it more clear about his place in L.A. history, he was the first to start bombing L.A. in ’82, from Venice Beach, to Pasadena, from Watts to Compton.

Everything in the world of graffiti in Los Angeles and sometimes around the world. I document graffiti and graffiti creators or artists and try to describe the art of graffiti.
More History at iamsoonone.blogspot.com , or Soonone’s Tag life .
Looks like venice blvd behind flexo go karts by the creak.mid town L.A. younglord stuff.Soon,Legit,Mikee,LiL T,J Kool,Dim,Lim,Ahmad,Max2000… ect.
Soon is a true living legend. I started following his art since about 85 or 86. His style was the best and everyone knew to take note.. He taught us all how to style and how it should be done. I was definitely influenced and inspired by him.
His blogspot brought back some great memories, thanks for sharing.. Peace and Respect to SOONONE!
Man its Dope to see people showing Love to true History and an Graffiti Legend!He definitely inspired me!Checkout mine http://nufaceartlife.blogspot.com
Soon is Defenitely a Legend!!! Much Love Baby! Keep doing your thing! ONE!
Soon makes all this noise about all kinds of stuff, how he “mentored” Risky, etc… etc… but I don’t see his influence anywhere in Risky’s work. The reality is that Soon borrowed heavily from Seen. Sure, the 5 pieces I always see by him came off, but they’re very similar to what Seen was doing in New York, at the time, and really, very similar to what many, many writers were doing in New York at the time. Chill out Anthony, you aren’t better than anyone else, and no one owes you anything, least of all Risk.
Derel you a funny clown like individual point blank none of my stuff looks like Seen or any other writer and to hell with mentoring Risk i taught the clown so all your cooning and dick riding will never amount to shit and all my shit is official there was no internet back then so what i did you basically had to be there to see it and seen is definitely not a writer i was into im from the 2s and 5s we not checking the 6 line out im not you ive been writing way before you or your small brain could comprehend get a life and get off my dick !
