Mike Giant is one of my favorite Graffitti writers/tattoo/ fine artist(say that five times fast). He was born in upstate New york, and soon moved to Albuquerque New Mexico. There he started getting up with the tag Giant as a Graffitti writer, A name he recieved from a friend when he fell off his skateboard and it sounded like a giant hit the ground. He later took a job with Think skateboards and moved to San francisco, where he formed Rebel 8 clothing with several fellow artists. I am going to paste his bio from his personal website below as well as a ill writing technique video from his youtube channel.
