~ Hand Style 13 ~ What is in a name? Everything! How a name is written however, is even more important. Hand writing is the first step in becoming a Graffiti writer. Writers put in much time and pride into there tags. Writers developed there tag, to stand out from others due to the competition. In time, a writers tag became a label of who they were, and who they are today. |
P 13 (PHANTOM 13) and OE 3 (OLD ENGLISH 3) were two very effective bombing partners in the early 1980's.

JOE a.k.a. JOE NUTS ( REST IN PEACE ) BOM 5 - "JOE NUTS was one of the best writing partners I ever had. He was like my right-hand-man back in the day. I took him out to the Bronx to hit places like the 4-yard or Esplanade Throw-Ups on the 5 line. In turn, he took me to the spots out in Brooklyn. JOE NUTS was a dude with a big heart, he will truly be missed!"
