SKEME - "Once Upon A LIne" Drawing

SKEME - "Once Upon A LIne" Drawing. Marker & Ink on Bristol, measures 14x17. From 2014. Skeme began writing in 1979 at the age of 15. He “got up” on the 1, 2, 3, 5, A, CC, and D lines and also hit the 4, E, F, M, and J lines of the New York City subway system, quickly going “ALL CITY”. He wrote with many of graffiti's greats, to include Phase2, Chain3, Kool131, Tean5, Kade198, Smily149 (RIP), Dez, Part1, Kase2 (RIP), EN005 (RIP) and Daze.  After "bombing" the insides with one of Graff's most recognizable hand styles, Skeme ventured to the outsides in 1980 and went on to execute numerous “window down-panel pieces” (both straight and wild styles), “top to bottoms”, “end to ends”, “whole cars”, “simple silvers”, and “throw ups”. Together with his partners Dez, Daze, and Spank, he went on to produce what are arguably some of graffiti's most iconic masterpieces.    Skeme also enjoyed membership and affiliation with some of the top writing crews of the day to include: INDS, TDS, TMT, TNT
