One of the graffiti artists who did work for the game Jet Grind Radio (see earlier entry). Other graffiti artists are:-

Extremely influential New York graffiti artist, created the graphic style associated with hiphop music when it began in the 8o's. He has worked for Public Enemy, LL Cool Jay the Beastie Boys, and MTV. His style of hand writing, visible on the cover of the Beastie Boys album "Check your Head" is often imitated, along with his style of drawing.
Like other artists in this blog, he has a unique style which others often try to immitate and which has won him alot of work. His drawing and handwriting styles 'evolved' through experimentation and trial & error - he started out as a graffiti artist in the New York subways.
As well as music, his graphic style has also influenced that of surfer and skater culture. He has produced special edition skate decks and shoes.
He is very popular in Japan. His Japanese site is http://www.haze.jp/
