8- Erni blue outline, circa 1979

Here is a really old piece, I dont even think I was down with any crews yet when I did this outline and I was using a red marker to indicate highlights which in my right mind i would never do today, i also started in lower case (e) and finished in upper case (r,n,i) which is another thing i wouldnt do today although not for any reason except my own preference, i think its the Virgo nature in me that is bothered by non matching cases in graffiti. i type these days in mostly lower case but thats because i type so slow its ridiculous.
either way i think the lack of fill in works, its a simple neat early piece, letters all leaning left and a decent flow going right. Sometimes not filling in pieces only meant that i didnt have any markers to fill them in with, graffiti back then was a poor mans game, i dont remember any wealthy graff artists at all, certainly not me.
