the best

10 of the Best Graffiti Writers in the World. Style Masters.

This list isn't exclusive, of course. There are plenty of other incredible artists out there that I could have chosen. With the worldwide spread of graffiti there are so many talented artists working in the graffiti style it's almost impossible to come up with a definitive top ten list of the "best graffiti artists."
These 10 are pretty damned good though

Dondi

The Style Master General.
One of the most influential writers of all time. The ultimate stylist.

Revok

My favorite of the LA style writers. I eat that West Coast style up and Revok has taken it all to an impossible extreme. So fresh.

Vulcan

"The Style Messiah."
The stuff he did in the 80s is more complex and thought-provoking to me than 99.999% of the work done since. His photos in Spraycan Art (one reproduced below) are amongst my favorite pieces of all time.

Daim

The 3d master. Daim takes what, in the hands of some is basically a cheesy novelty style and brings it to the absolute top of the graffiti style game. Top notch color, form, design and draftsmanship.

The classic wild style practitioner. Very influential.
