One day I was drawing with chalk on the asphalt when I noticed the letter "F" in script was not only very outstanding but full of beauty, style and grace. Then I started practicing the letter "F" with different names until I came up with this name and number; the name and number I came up with was Flint 707.

When I graduated and had a bigger appetite I wanted to see my name in bigger letters with nice designs around it to give it a sensational look. I then started using El Marko felt tip and 3M markers. Then the markers called Pilot and Nijis dominated the modern world until later on then came the mini and uni-wide. No word's had to be spoken, the writing in the books, then the desks, and then onto the walls. It was beginning to evolve into the biggest art revolution in. Because everyone could not afford it, this baby separated the men from the boy's.

Then I started to use spray paint to make my tag more permanent. You could see it written in all the most popular places like 42nd St., Times Square, Central Park at the Fountain or in Coney Island. All the bridges and grand location's fell victim. As a leader I challenged the other artists by painting styles that were more intricate and defined. By using multiple fat caps and variations of colors that eventually separated them into categories of writers or stylemasters.
