Sure (RIP) was born and bred in Brooklyn and recognized for his exceptional handstyle which brought together elements of classic New York graffiti with ornamental calligraphy. His script signatures could be found throughout the city and were a major influence on myself and good friend and partner in art FAUST, among countless others, like crew member Ader and OCNSM from ATM crew.

Surer has also received great recognition as one of the most prominent sticker bombers of all time. It’s Faust which led us to learn about Sure, and we instantly became fans for life. Of the thousands of stickers he put up, nearly every one of them was individually hand done in an incredible array of styles. This was back when stickers were hand drawn and eggshells didn’t exist yet. Faust and Sure are instrumental in understanding how stickers can be a primary force in the urban art world.
