For all those old enough to remember HEX TGO of the Hex and Slick battles, owner of the Hip-Hop shop on Melrose. Innovator of techniques never seen done with spray paint before. Hex and Slick were two of the most pioneering/influential graffiti artist of their time, pushing the boundaries of what you can do with a can back in the day when you actually had to learn and perfect your can control, unlike now when you can just buy a low pressure can and fool your self into thinking you can paint with a spray can.
While his contemporary Slick always stayed in the seen with his many clothing lines and painting steady in a while. Hex seem to have fallen of the Map. What ever happen to Hex? From what I know he never stopped painting but his work just took a different direction.
Recently he has been painting pieces and making appearances here and there. He recently spoke at the Crewest gallery in downtown Los Angeles about what he has been up to, the HiP-Hop shop and graffiti. I hope to see more of his work pop up in the city of L.A.
