TKid

T-KID (or Terrible T-KID 170) is a well-known graffiti artist from the Bronx, New York. He first got his start during the 1970s, tagging the name "King 13" every time he'd win a challenge, performing daredevil tricks on swings in local parks. He was a short lived member of a gang called the Bronx Enchanters (who would mark their territory by tagging walls and hanging red converse shoes on all of the light poles) ,much like animals mark their territory by urinating on trees, as well as The Renegades of Harlem, where he learnt how to really paint trains. He is the president of TNB (The Nasty Boyz) crew and ex-president of TVS (The Vamp Squad), one of the most notorious New York graffiti crews. T-KID is still active and his work can be seen in the Bronx as well as around the world. He is also a member of MAC crew from Paris. T-Kid was originally asked to be the narrator for the Hip-Hop documentary Style Wars but he declined.

Appearances in other media

More recently T-Kid has appeared in Marc Ecko's 2006 video game, "." Also in the book "The Terrible Nasty T-Kid 170," which chronicles the artist's life from childhood to the present and features pictures of his work by graffiti photographer Henry Chalfant.
