SHANDU | THE GENIE OF LOS ANGELES STYLE WRITING
Shandu was one of the earliest native L.A writers to use the spraycan on walls. Along with fellow L.A Bomb Squad members, Crime and Risco, he is credited with being the first to put a piece on the infamous Belmont Tunnels under Crown Hill. He went on to develop a unique style and now conducts graffiti tours of Downtown Los Angeles.
