From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tselone is a graffiti artist from Chicago. He began his career in the graffiti underworld in 1984. He learned from his older brother, who in turn learned from his buddies at Senn High School. Chicago graffiti was brought from New York. There is a direct link from New York to Chicago. Many say it was brought over by "Nick Salsa". Nick Salsa was a New York graffiti writer before he moved to the Humboldt Park area. From there, he influenced many other graffiti writers like: Scorpio 134, Flash, SEEN, Take 2 and Trixter to name a few. And it was these graffiti writers who influenced the graffiti writers from Senn, like: Hate, Enoz, Fas, Oops, Heckle and Page.

Tselone continues to paint American graffiti, legally and illegally. He has painted in the famous Belmont Tunnel in Los Angeles and has also travelled to Europe where he painted with Mookie in Barcelona.

Tselone resides in Chicago with his family.
