I Guess I Got Time So Heres Probably What Alot Of You Never Knew....Or Well Uhm Heres What I Remember:I started as a lazy 10 year old... it was the beginning of 4th grade and like always the teachers hated me for not doing anything.. or atleast thats what my mom says i dont remember alot but i do remember a beige little notebook they gave me in class and i remember the inside cover had a little bubbly tag on it but i dont remember what it said i think it said sifer cuz i also remember later that year i had a folder covered in graffiti that they took away and it said sifer which is what i tagged i guess not for long though cuz that same year i met another kid he was older and was also a tagger but he was sick as fuck and he ended up helping me out by giving me the name "crook" so theres where i really started to graff... and by 5th grade i was going to beswick elementary in tustin and i had some pig for a teacher but he never caught me and i guess the only people that knew i was tagging was a few friends and my sister... i went on to currie middle school in tustin where i really tagged but still never bragged about it i started getting into art and it was getting easier and easier for me to tag so i started looking for a bigger challenge so i tried every form of art i could think of i started with simple animations but it was too easy...i went on to trying japanese animation and sketching random things which helped me ALOT with shading but was still way to easy and so then i got the fucked up news that we were gonna move i had no idea were but it was summer of 02 and i was happy in tijuana with my cousins and when it was time to go back to school i ended up comming straight here to riverside .... i guess i started 7th grade and it took me a while but i went right back to tagging ... and right back to ART were i kept drawing anime and blending it with graffiti.... for some reason... and when i started my freshman year i decided to put everything off and start tagging ALOT and in 10th grade i guess i got caught tagging by a stupid bitch teacher and i changed my name from "crook" to "krook".....uhh... i went on until i wanted to try another shot at art and tried abstract art and mixed it with graffiti and i took a shot at realism but failed... until 11th grade were i tried realism and calligraphy and finally i got a chance to draw myself haha... and it took me almost a month to think about it but in may 2007 i changed my name from "crook" that ive had for 6 years to "estrikz".....kinda stupid but i had to do it for alot of reasons........ so now here i am... 2008....... so far ive changed my style in graffiti to a 3d letter and abstract twist and im still trying realism and im also gonna work on calligraphy and using charcoal pencils and im gonna change to a more cultural form of art and try cubism later this year.. next year i can work with watercolor and oil pastel and on giant canvasas and hopefully by 2010 im still tagging and i will be able to celebrate my 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of graffiti and im already planning something big..... so well there it is my whole art life in i guess a couple of paragraphs...and the reason i felt like typing is because its 1:30 in the morning and i aint sleepy haha... nah the real reason is because im tired of repeating myself so instead if you wanna know something for the 10 motherfucking time you can read instead... its all i can remember and i guess the only ones who might remember more is my old friends at tustin or my family that knew when i started oh and so my full alias is ESTRIKZ99 and the 99 stands for the year i first took a shot at graffiti....ahhh and there it is my biography...2006?2006?200620072008
