I'm starting a website.
It will offer paid downloads of NYC graffiti writers handwriting.
I've already gathered many character maps already from some of NYC's finest.
I need someone who's interested in NYC graffiti history as well as talented in font creation.
Any takers?

GROUND WORK 1966-71
Graffiti was used primarily by political activists to make statements and street gangs to mark territory. It wasn't till the late 1960s that writing's current identity started to form.The history of the underground art movement known by many names, most commonly termed graffiti begins in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the mid to late '60s and is rooted in bombing. The writers who are credited with the first conscious bombing effort are CORNBREAD and COOL EARL.
