Ghost is one of the last purveyors of the New York City train writing era. He has developed his own funky letter styles that defy convention. A mad bomber at heart, he thrashes out a few hundred throw-ups without a second thought. His styles possess that same casual blast, with a combination of loose letters and psychedelic cartoons that drip off the wall with his Boogaloo charm.
Sabe is a true master of styles. Adept on many levels, he is able to switch between advanced mechanical compositions, bubble styles, throw-ups, characters and photo-realism with ease. With a ‘paint now, think later’ attitude he mixes up these styles to suit the occasion, leaving a legacy of playful hybrids that sit left of mainstream. Never one to be called a slacker, he has an execution rate that leaves most gasping for air.
