one of the most classic throw ups ever.

[DO NOT HUMP]

I still clearly remember the first day we chilled. Damn, that was like 14 years ago or so. Crazy how time flies. We had no crew affiliations back then, and didn't really know anything about each other except for the fact that we both did graffiti. I looked up to you as one of the hardest writers out their. And truth is, you've been repping that hard for years now. Day after day. Night after night. And that's why I still look up to you, even today. But graffiti isn't the only reason why I look up to you. Most graffiti writers wouldn't give the time of day to someone they didn't know at first. Most writers act hard and try to be dicks on purpose to other writers they don't really know. That's where you were different. You were one of the most down to earth and chill niggas I have ever met, even from day one. It wasn't about graffiti that made you the person you were. It was something else. Something that a lot of people are missing these days. Even though we only chilled here and there since we lived in different cities, you've definitely left a lasting impression on my life. And for that, I'm thankful.

Rest In Peace Bernie. You will always be missed.

he was a stand up guy, and a hard core go getter.

There was no one else like you, and there will never be another person like you.

You were one of the funniest, toughest and most sarcastic people I've ever known. You gave me strength and confidence that you never knew.. You were my biggest supporter and even exaggerated my accomplishments to many people because you were so proud of me.

I am completely devastated and don't know how I'm going to make it through the tough times without you to cheer me up and make me laugh... No one could ever make me laugh like you did.

I will never forget that morning on Jacksonville beach, it was one of the best days of my life.

I love you always.

Please refrain from posting any more pictures that have his face.

Thank you.

[KING OF THE SOUTH]

Yo Bernie...
I want to say thankyou for always making me feel like I was important when I was around you. Anywhere I ever traveled I was happy and more importantly proud to call you a friend. I remember the first time we met we were supposed to fight each other and I showed up nervous out of my mind and we spoke and we squashed it and I remember still shaking during the blunt that we smoked because I was really just happy to be cool with you. Me and you could have taken a different route but I knew the day I met you that regardless of whose right or wrong, I had your back and there was never a question of you having mine. You were the gasoline on any fire, like Bash said having you at the house was like having an entire party in the house.

I never really got to tell you what an inspiration you were to me throughout the last 15 years. From the first week I started doing graffiti I was writing my government name and my friends who already knew about graffiti were like "you cant write that, one of oil's friends writes that." My response was "yeah and I'll battle them." The minute I got home I started looking for a new word. But i was not satisfied yet, I had to know more about this OIL person that all my friends were so scared of. I started noticing your work around Miami in about 94 and you instantly became my favorite writer ever, when you bombed you bombed hard, you went through wars on the streets, you had the freshest style in the city and the best can control I had ever seen. People at school were constantly talking about OIL fought this guy this weekend or OIL did this spot on the highway, and I would seek out those spots to document (bite). I remember me and my counterparts would hit spots and the next night there would be an OIL hollow next to us and I would think "YES!!! He had to have seen that! and he didnt cross it out!!!" It was an honor always. I followed your lead bro, you put an ER on your name I put an ER on my name, you pluralized your name I pluralized mine, all the way down to the stars and arrows that decorate the tag.

I remember when we had our differences and you were telling me to come fight I had fought a hundred times prior and I was never nervous but I did not want beef with you from day 1 and I was scared. Then we chilled and after that the nervousness that I had when I was going to meet you that day a new type of nervousness set in where I would just be so happy to be chilling with you and possibly painting my name next to yours that I would usually just stay quiet around you hoping not to say anything stupid that might make you not want to hang out anymore. You were a character man, always made whoever you were chilling with feel fresh, even when my stuff looked horrible and everyone knew it but me you would still encourage me and tell me to keep going.

There were trivial little nights to you that we chilled like the night at Amos' house where you unknowingly gave me my throwup on the pizza box just fucking around with my name or quarter beer nights at Senor Frogs that were like some of my best memories ever in all my years because of the energy that you put off. I took anything you said very seriously, i had beef with anyone you beefed with, everything I ever painted I basically painted hoping you would notice. Anytime you painted or tagged around me I studied your motions to the point that people make fun of me for trying so hard to pull off what you made look so easy and effortless.

In one of our last conversations you asked me to put my ego aside and dead all my personal drama with our family members. I will more than honor your request from here on out bro. I wish i could have done more and the chance that i might have been able to is keeping me awake at night. I miss your antics I miss never knowing where you will pop up next. Your life was cut short tragically but your name lives on forever on all permeable surfaces and in our minds and hearts. You were the ultimate savage. I'll never forget the "hey im starting a new crew, WGE, Worst Guys Ever, and everyone here is down" and I looked around me and I realized that I was indeed surrounded by the Worst guys ever yet no matter how derelict anyone got you still did nothing but support and encourage. You were genuinely proud of all your friends and you were always eager to find your next apprentice. Your impact on the crew and the city and graffiti community are unmatched.

When you passed away a part of all of us passed with you but your energy and fire will forever light up the Miami skyline. Its funny man, when Thomas died I couldnt picture his face in my mind for months, but with you I swear I hear you laughing in my head. I will miss you especially. I will always be able to say that I learned the game from some of the best writers ever and I fucking thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. Thankyou for showing me how to party like a rockstar and be as humble as a street sweeper. Thankyou for never taking shit from anyone and thankyou for sticking around long enough for me to get the opportunity to paint with my favorite writer but more importantly chill with the person I always wanted to be. You Changed my life and regardless of the pain i am in now it will forever be remembered as a positive change. From your death only good will come. Much Love Bernie, your crew and your name are in good hands, rest well brother we're gonna take over that bitch when I get there and burn it to the ground.

Talk whatever shit you want I'm just being real with my friend.

I was cleaning out my room the other day & I found that hoochie shirt you made me for my birthday and how much we laughed when I tried it on & it barely covered my chest. We used to laugh so much and play around all day, all night. You were always laughing, always joking.... the life of the party, always making people feel welcomed & always spoke your mind. You didn't give a fuck if they liked it or not. You were a real nigga.... always stood up for your friends and took shit from no one.... no matter the situation... u were a g.... thank you for the oppurtunity to be such a big part of your life. I am truly blessed to have known a king.... you were just too special, just too good for this life.... baby your memory will carry on forever, through your art, your tattoos, through the love that all your people have for you.... I don't think you realize what an impact you made on so many peoples life. This has effected everyone who's known you & even the people who were never lucky enough to be graced by your presence.... I'll bare your name til the die I die.... til the day I see you again and we're reunited.... I know you're in peace now & all the pain you carried melted away.... you may not be here physically but I promise you we'll never let your spirit go...... I can't believe I'm writing these word to you but RIP BB.... I know you're smiling down on us doing fill ins on the clouds.... I love you...

R.I.P OIL..never had the pleasure of knowing him....his work was fresh...my heart goes out to his friends and family

[KING OF THE SOUTH]

Somethings I learned from OIL:

-Swing first, ask them what they write when the beating ends.
-Drink Newcastle beer.
-Do a thousand tags and a thousand throwups before attempting to wack a peice out.
-I Wont give it away, but its the correct way to do a proportioned throwup.
-Get a haircut hippie. And some new shoes.
-Whatever bags you brought your paint in, wrap your new shoes in it like a biohazard suit to avoid getting paint on them and having to jack someone for their new shoes.
-Listen to the most ignorant music possible in any given situation .
-Lortabs are bad.
-A good peice isnt shit if the dude who did it has no handstyle.
-If you cant win fair, clobber him with something.But dont lose.
-Dont set trip. Dont steal from your friends. Tell no lies.
-Things are never as cool as they seem.
-Represent your culture.
-Women are a necessary evil so are toys.
-Being a pervert is ok and in some cultures socially accepted.
-In general its probably the best idea in any given situation to run from the police, jail is for scrubs.
-Always keep them wanting more. Quality over quantity.
-Protect the weak and young.
-the name drizle is wack. you should write DZ.
-HANDSTYLE. HANDSTYLE. HANDSTYLE.

Party on my friend, I hope your clouds have cleared and you see with 20/20 that you were the franchise player on our team and that everyone from the cheerleaders to the coach are destroyed right now. Me and you are gonna have a longgggggg talk one day buddy you got some splaining to do.

[raina]

Bernie was such a special part of my life. As soon as I heard the tragic news my mind flooded with thousands of memories of all the time I got to spend with him. More than he was anything else to me, he was one of the best friends I’ve ever known. He stuck right by my side through some of the lowest and saddest points in my life- and carried me through to the other side. We kept in touch over the years and I was always so happy to catch up with him. He was one of those rare friends that I could go months without talking to and when we did it was like we hadn’t missed a moment. The last time I saw him was one of his last trips to Miami. He was in a rush to get back on the road, so we met up in a parking lot just to say hi and give each other a hug. After that we made plans for me to come up for a long weekend so he could finally show me around Jacksonville. We had a bunch of fun things planned and I was so excited, but at the last minute I couldn’t make it. I wish more than anything I would have dropped everything to be there. I really wish I had that last opportunity to hug him, laugh with him, and just enjoy and fully take in all the happiness and zest for life he exuded. Although I’m sure his legacy will be beautiful and profound- I’m absolutely devastated, as is my family who loved him very much too. I am so very sorry for everyone who loved him and is surely grieving this enormous loss.

BB, I love you forever and always, and until we meet again I will miss you every day. Glad you’re finally happy and whole.

3 seconds later we are rushed by what felt like the whole pro-am but it was like 15 dudes.
i remember Bernie clocking the first dude square in the face and I new it was on. We scrapped
for a few seconds and the rest of our crew showed up and those pussies ran away.

I remember which crew it was but those toys will remain nameless.

I cant believe this. Oiler was one of the first dudes i saw up when i just started writing graffiti. He was a king of florida and beyond. I was looking forward to meeting the king one day now to hear of this passing is really depressing. had a a big influence on my work and will continue to inspire me. a king among kings. rest in peace King Crude Oils EP WH COD

There is no one like you, and there never will be. I have so many memories, that posting one just isn't enough. But the time I think that really made us laugh was the night we went out and bombed that place near the strip club. the cop in his car freaking me out and he was just doing paperwork.. going to huddle house late at night at getting you a blt with no mayo and watching you do watercolor. going to shows and watching you walk around the pit like you didnt give a fuck. holding your hand and watching chappelles show and cracking up. ay okey and gucci mane. you drinking heineken and me with my bud light. our roadtrip to jacksonville, nc and getting somewhat lost. you kicking ass at pool.. cliff bars, your smile.. i will never love any tattoo more than the ones you put on me. having your tag on me will always put a smile to my face. you will always have my heart. I will never forget the things you told me and I will never tell a soul what is between you and me. I honestly don't know how to go on without you. But your last day you told me something I will take with me forever, and hugging you goodbye will always stay with me. You are my rock and I will love you for all my life. I will see you soon, and we are going to party it up. I'll bring the Heineken. and the blts. <3 I love you.[[/[/B]B]IMG]http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/2009-07-11012128.jpg?t=1250050628[/IMG]http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/l_19da422337e141fa94ac90b5be0d5436.jpg?t=125005096 4http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/2009-07-12174017.jpg?t=1250051072http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/2009-07-11012144.jpg?t=1250051321http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/2009-08-06142225-1.jpg?t=1250051356http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/l_89c0fe69ddd048caab6e3faf61872db2.jpg?t=125005138 9http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/2009-07-17221706.jpg?t=1250051517http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt65/jess_sauce/2009-07-27044835.jpg?t=1250051535

everymorning i keep waking up and realize this is no dream.i havent been able to look at this thread for more than a minute without breaking down. bernie saw something in me and my friends no one else could see at the time. before any politics were ever involved bernie was the most str8 up guy i had ever met. bernie changed my fucking life . i remember the first time meeting him. me and crons had been painting the night before and i went to take flicks. right down the street from where we did our fills over some toys bernie had gone and done a silver over some beef of his at the time. i wigged out and was amazed at the fact that this guy went out in our vicinity and didnt wait to catch us or rob a brand new fill off our garbage at the time. i snap flicks of our work and his and the next thing i know im on the 836 getting a call from a girl saying shes at a tattoo shop with some guy who calls himself oil and he wants to meet me. i didnt know what the fuck was going on. did this guy follow me watch me paint and then find my girl to tell her to bring me to him? was he going to beat me down or tell me i wasnt allowed to write my name anymore? the stories i grew up hearing about bernie had me scared and somewhat confused but i knew i had to go step up. i get to the shop and this guy comes out and gives me love like we had known each other for decades. bernie and i had no affiliation with letters and for all i was worth at the time he could have ended my career that day. but instead he jumped in with the homies and we ended up on a week long party with old and new friends enjoying eachothers company. from that day on my life was never the same. we didnt need to paint to be down, this guy was about being down then going and wrecking. not about wrecking and then hoping we can chill and get along.if we were chilling i felt on top of the world, if we were painting i felt on top of the world.if my letters came out like complete boof bernie would be like but yo p u handled that color scheme like no other. there was always a positive note to end on with bernie. bernie was in the handful of people i could call a close personal friend. and his legacy will forever continue to change my outlook on this world every fucking day. i really wish i never had to write this but i miss you bernie. my life and many others that followed will never be the same.

Yo i remember that day at Kev's shop like it was yesterday. Bernie calling me over to the shop to meet these 2 young kids that were destroying everything and everbody. For a while already Bernie, Are, myself and a few others had an eye out for these young cats. Who were they? Where did they come from etc...When bernie found them he was like yo get over here right now i found Proks and he is young, from the neighborhood and seems to not give a fuck, your type of people G. It was amazing how stoked Bernie was on these young cats. I pulled up and wanted to survey the situation but Bernie gave me no chance. He was like yo this is Proks and yo this is GS, Bernie them pulled me aside and said G these guys are the crews future. I said to him like that, he looked me in the eyes and said LIKE THAT! History has proven you right Bernie. Today they have become some of my best friends. Thank you for having the insight and vision to help put together this "lil thing of ours".
See you soon again Oilski
Love your big brother G...

My brother Bernie, it was like yesterday when we were in elementary school. not worrying about the responsibilities of life. just having fun and laughing. who would have figure we would become professional vandals. you gave us style, smiles, and some of the best memories ever. like the time u mased some fool in front of society hill. how about the time when you visited me in the hospital when i broke my leg in front of the school. not even knowing me very much. and almost 20yrs later you inked it. eka allday!! my homie, my comrade, my brother. see u soon. -LDAWG76

[criminal mischief]

being from the east coast i was definately familiar with oilers graffiti,and man could this dude paint,take notes kids this is what graffiti is supposed to look like.classic,readable and tough as nails.the man had style and i hope to catch him rolling on the lines for years to come.rest in peace forever
