Norman 'VOGUE' Chuck is a pillar and Crew Admin of Oakland's legendary TDK (Those Damn Kids / The Dream Krew), founded alongside the late Mike 'Dream' Francisco in 1985. Vogue's mastery of both razor-sharp East Bay wildstyle and hyper-realistic spray-can portraiture has made him a Bay Area institution.

WISK is an original West Los Angeles style writer and street bomber representing both On The Run (OTR) and West Coast Artists (WCA). From the legendary Belmont Tunnel and Venice Pavilion to RTD transit lines, Wisk helped establish the visual vocabulary of 1980s and 1990s LA aerosol culture.

Bridging Southern California's On The Run (OTR) and Oakland's TDK crew, SENTO is revered for razor-sharp mechanical wildstyles, vibrant color gradients, and decades of steel and concrete burners across California.
Mike 'DREAM' Francisco (1969–2000) founded Those Damn Kids (TDK — later honored as The Dream Krew) in Oakland in 1985. Combining socio-political consciousness, Filipino-American heritage, and supreme East Bay wildstyle mastery, Dream remains the undisputed spiritual king of Oakland graffiti.

KING 157 is a foundational Northern California b-boy and aerosol writer active since 1984 across San Jose, Union City, and Oakland. A core member of TDK, King 157 is celebrated for classic funk-driven wildstyle burners and youth mentorship across the Bay Area.
SAZE is a longtime Oakland writer and core member of Those Damn Kids / The Dream Krew (TDK), painting major East Bay productions alongside Mike Dream, Vogue, and Bam.

TWIST (Barry McGee) is San Francisco's most influential graffiti writer and co-founder of The Melting Faces (TMF) and AWOL, celebrated worldwide from freight yards to the Venice Biennale.

VOGUE (TDK / AWOL / CVA) is a cornerstone of East Bay and San Francisco aerosol history, celebrated alongside Dream, Twist, and King 157 for his mastery of photorealistic characters and West Coast funk lettering.
