AKA Croydon's King of Styles.
There was a time in my youth where I'd buy an all-zones travelcard just to ride the trains and check the tracksides pretty much every weekend. SER ran a graffiti shop in an arcade center in Croydon which is now shut down, along with Clapham's Graphotism store.
I always looked out for a bunch of writers.. Ser was definately up there, every piece was different, he never recycled the same handstyles/fills.. Zonk, Cosa, Fume, Neas, Dem, Memo were all up there too...
But there was one writer I'd always wish I saw everytime I went out, and towards the early 2000's it became rarer to find his new shit, that was Zomby:DDS/FBZ/DTB.. AKA Afro AKA Rate AKA London's King of Characters
You can buy some Zomby prints for your favourite graff lover this christmas at http://www.paintandbeatz.com
Including this one, still unsold, for a staggering £690.00
He also did a limited run of tees for Rare Kind, which are now sadly out of stock. He used to sell these at the stall he used to run with Teach at Portobello Market called 'Street Dreams' where Asbo & I used to go back in our teens to buy the big tins of chrome Molotov burners for £2. The good old days!
