http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DONDI

A lot of people considered him to the best that ever was during the height of graffiti fame. You can see him in the pics that @NewLife posted up. The first pic is from his "Children of the Grave" I think that was the second one. There's a great scene on the second bonus disc of WildStyle when one of the guys said it was incredible that DONDI did a whole car/top to bottom without having to step back and gauge his spacing.

Even his simple tags were dope

If you really want to get into it, there's a great book that was done on him, here's the link from Amazon:

seriously breh? graffiti is a crime. thus, someone being a snitch is serious business.

:beli tell me something i dont know breh breh. Whether he a snitch i couldn't care less. However when it comes to the discussion of bottom to bottom. Fill in's, the growing popularity of scratchffi in the metropolitan and being all city. You cant deny his contributions


get off his dikk

Weak ass rebuttals . secondary assessment that dont amount to anything. Given that i have indulge in graffiti on both a legal and a illegal level you might want to spent more time responding like someone with no knowledge on the subject at hand and some childish shyt that makes you look silly as fukk.

One thing folks need to understand is Dondi handstyle was something you would consider different in his time. Now day you find the transition of wildstyle throughout the and truthfully it isnt a difficult task to do. If you know about blocking and boxing in.
