SEEN









Got to meet this guy briefly probably 12 years ago.. damn time flies.  I was still wet behind the ears just a kid tagging up shit and there was a big exhibition at a skatepark about an hour north of New York City.  I took a greyhound up there and tons of crews were there painting the hell out of the joint before it opened.  Just off the top I remember Ewok, Totem, the Tats Crew, Seen, and heads from everywhere from Germany to California, Rhode Island and everywhere in between were there doing massive pieces.  Definitely one heck of a weekend I still got pics but all off a disposable camera -circa 2000 style-  but I remember seeing this cat Seen and was like man I need to holler at him but he was real busy.. finally crossed paths with him and he took the time to scratch that infamous outline and tag in my book.  Looking back now that was pretty cool of him to do that.. With all the super heavy weights there and work that needed to be done he still spared a few minutes for my young punk ass at the time.  A pillar in the game, shit he laid the foundation before the pillars could even get up.  I'm going to dig that book up and post some pics when I get home.
