Don't know how this will go down in the forums but as a kid i loved bubble writing and quickly got into letter forms and then eventually "graffiti." I did my first piece at the age of 13 in some underpass and the age of 16 starting using the name of "Lacey" - i'll use Lacey or Lace'd Taste on various forums now. Had a good run and had a few articles in the local papers before police came over whilst me mum was having a party (not the best of memories), Lacey became legal and i ended up studying fine art at Uni. I'll post some examples scattered around my home town of Barnstaple.
Sorry due before i checked out your location i though it was the Bronx NYC ffks.. move immediatly
