I had been writing LEAF for 19 years. Started painting walls with spray paint in the Southwest when I was around 15 after the death of a close friend (DEF) who was a graffiti artist. It was here where I began my journey of self-discovery with style writing. I began to realize that it was important to cultivate a unique style and become well versed in the many various schools of graffiti; lettering, bombing, characters, blackbook, hand style, rap letters, blockbusters, rollers, and wildstyle. My lettering is influenced by late 80’s/90’s colors, West-Coast Latino style, and New York bombing.Bio-mechanical art was invented by the late great H.R. Geiger and perfected for tattooing by Guy Aitchison and Aaron Cain. Aitchison took this style and made it more organic and colorful than Geiger’s work, and many have since done the same. It is with the influence of this bio-mech style coupled with the rendering of LEAF piecing where “LEAFMECH” is derived from. It has taken me a lifetime to combine all of this art into one form, that art is LEAFMECH.
