Crayone is considered to be a Bay Area Graffiti Pioneer. He has been filmed and published many times, but his seminal exposure was a book called SprayCan Art, Freight Train Graffiti, Graffito and in a recent video documentary called Piece By Piece. To his peers he is known as a person who brought the use of intricate colors and skillful technique to his graffiti pieces. His legendary crew called TWS (Together With Style) has brought world wide recognition and was known as the crew who invented New Wave. New Wave was an attempt at coining certain individuals who were trying to take graffiti to the next level of technique, color and style. He was the first writer to have a one-man gallery show exhibition on the West Coast, has won several hip-hop awards online for creating graffiti style websites. He is still involved in many murals activities and has expressed interest to go back into the gallery arena. Currently is an art director and web designer for a local newspaper.
