Encyclopedia : I : IZ : IZG : IZ (graffiti artist)

Iz "The Wiz" was one of the most prominent graffiti writers of the New York graffiti movement of the late 70's and early 80's. Known primarily for his quick, simple two letter tag and his devotion to painting every train in sight, Iz represented a new breed of fame-obsessed writers concerned with finding the perfect balance between quantity and quality. From years of using toxic aerosol products with no protective mask, Iz developed extensive nerve damage and various other medical complications. In August of 2003 he held a gallery showcasing his legal artwork in New York.
