IZ was in my mind the most prolific train writer ever, and for my generation from 1981 and on he was our IN TOP. I had the chance to interview him several years back when he was still in Rockaway and he was very candid and generous. I will never forget him telling me that he painted trains every single day in 1982. Coming from anybody else I would not believe it but IZ I believed.
A sad day in the graffiti world, we lost a true pioneer.
Rest in Peace Mike Martin aka IZ, IKE 327, CI…TMB Forever
