One of the seminal artists that came out of the streets of Brooklyn, New York is Flint707. He grew up in the Bushwick section which is now considered the Graffiti Mecca of the World. Since his early years on Siegal Street, then Nostrand Avenue near Myrtle Ave to corner of Evergreen Ave and Cedar Street and finally settling on Hart Street near Broadway.

This is where he emerged as one of the pioneers of modern American graffiti, first tagging his name on the bottom of light posts and Fire Alarm boxes. He then after starting High School in Jamaica, Queens ascended to painting his name in 3-D letters and sometimes images of his face onto the BMT M and J Train lines in Brooklyn, New York.

He is also most famously and recognized for the article in Newsweek magazine from October 1973. It has Spiro Agnew, then Vice President on the cover and showing this amazing color striped painting that he painted for the Razor Gallery show on Broadway in New York City.

Details of the rise of American Graffiti Art aided by the timeless striped Flint 707 3-D masterpiece that now identifies with his name were photographed and are now a part of American history circulating throughout the world in various exhibitions, books and magazine articles.
