Crayone discovered his passion for spray-can art during his youth, a path that led to fame early in his career. When Hip-Hop culture exploded onto the Bay Area scene with documentaries like Style Wars and Wild Style, Crayone was hooked. At first, he was a breakdancer who went by the name “SpaceGhost; after a short time in sports, he switched to street art.
As his name, “Crayone,” gained recognition, he expanded his reach beyond San Francisco, forming the iconic TWS (Together With Style) crew—the first Bay Area spray-can art collective. This progressive company of artists incorporated fine art, illustration, graphic design, and the San Francisco style with European affinities. Together, they evolved and advanced spray-can art to a higher form that defied imagination.
