Im convinced all of these are 86,
That BBoy piece me & synko did was 87 and this was in Trottick for ages before that.
Always loved the symmetry of this one.
Just realised its a lower case "d" I could never work out how it said 3d, doh!
Did some old dude not catch you but tell you to carry on son?

the arrows reminded me on a skeme (I think) piece from subway art

Your right, without a doubt this was heavily influenced by some of the pieces from subway art/style wars. Those were the real starting point for us at that time and the only real reference point for studying styles and trying to develop our own.

Nowadays people have access to so much stuff via the internet as well as an extra 20 odd years worth of history therefore its much harder to pinpoint the influeneces within the piece.

As far as i can remember this was the one and only time i ever used a can of chrome.
