Shy One is a graffiti artist from the Monterey Bay. Shy One is one of the first graffiti artists to combine Anime characters and hip hop art. Shy One was also a early battle mc on the radio. Shy's style dates back to the early 90's. Shy is also a represenative of a famous Hawaiian crew called the "True Islander Style". Shy's career in graffiti has been very good. Hip Hop art is alive in stores and available online as a artform of Black culture. Shy's art is a style of bubble letters and stock tip can art. Shy's style ranges from painting three-haired characters to cartoon dogs in aqua blue. Graffiti is still alive in techno, rap and rock and roll culture. Shy's style continues to evolve even today. Shy's style of art was saved by westcoast California artists and New York artists. The Cool Anime Style, the name of the crew affilated with Shy's art was also saved by Japanese artists involved with Toei. Shy says "I remember I knew this guy and he asked me for a ride to go paint the Bill's Wheel's shop in Santa Cruz". "I didn't know this guy for too long but met him at an adult school in Salinas". Alot of popular graffiti artists made it into the art & entertainment industry. Some are in stores, videogames and videos on MTV and BET. The artform has been recognized all over the world. "When I first started I had a container of shoe polish and Orchard Supply paint" says Shy. "I started with flowmasters and government pens and then moved onto sakura markers and keropi pens". "I also like cans of red devil paint and cans of American Accents" says Shy. Shy would like to thank all the people who walked up to the freights and took pictures. Shy's career in pop art took off even more when pictures ended up on the Internet. Shy says "graffiti is still a great popular artform, when people from Greenday to Michael Jackson saved it. I realized it was still a platform for artists to stand out on their own"."The artform was illegal and still is but for decades the artform can be seen on tv almost on a daily basis". Shy says "I remember seeing somebody's hand writing in cement". It said "Elvis No 1." in front on the sidewalk where I lived". "I always wondered why people were able to put that on the sidewalk" says Shy. "In the end I figured I would put a art book out but never knew how to do it". 	Shy would like to say the artform has survived even today. The designs are those of the original graffiti artists. Graffiti started with kids writing letters incorrectly."How many artists would tell you that" says Shy. Shy continues to be seen on sites like Zazzle and Lulu.com and is still recognized all over the world.

Progression of the hip hop movement in California would include World War 1 (an early breakdance competition) & the B-boy Summit in San Diego and Cyberfest.

Shy would like to give a shout out to FNS and Hawaiian Punch.
