Blade (Steven Ogburn) was born in the Bronx in New York in 1957. He made his first graffiti in 1972 and began to mark his name on buses and mail trucks in the city of New York. Nicknamed "The King", he ruled for many years on lines 2 and 5 subway with the band Crazy Five (TC5), which is the founding member. The Block Busters (letters stretched vertically) completely cover some of the packets. Nevertheless Blade constantly renews his style of lettering. His first work on canvas in 1982.
