He had a brisk trade in spraying   logos onto his blank truckie caps. Rap tags and New York skylines were his favorite themes. He was very adept with the spray can, creating  on a very small space, logos with clever perspectives and his silver pen highlights finished the images in a slick shiny apple way.

This gig had taken him to Japan where he demonstrated his skills in the hat shops in Tokyo. This has been his living for the last 7 years.

He claimed  to be  the best hat maker in New York!

I paid up and commissioned one for the road.
