TIE THR (RIP)

SAN FRANCISCO // CALIFORNIA

Jonathan See Lim aka Tie One was a graffiti artist based in San Francisco. He is well known in the graffiti community for his aggressive style of graffiti art and the large amount of work he produced. He was shot and killed at age 18 on a fire escape outside a Tenderloin apartment, having been taken for a burglar by an armed resident. The resident was not indicted for the killing. In its aftermath, MQ and Fate created a 100-foot memorial mural on a ship for him in Mission Dolores Park. The death of Tie and the subsequent lack of any prosecution in connection with it had a profound and lasting effect on San Francisco's graffiti community.
