What ever happened to the tager Miner ? Did anyone know him
There use to be this tagger back in the mid 80's named Miner, I met him back in 1985 when I first became an official resident of Cali from Cleveland, Ohio I was 14 years old back then. Miner he was pretty cool guy from what I remembered and I use to see him at the Beverly Center often when I went up there. He was a pretty popular tagger back then, you see his tags on buses on walls, stores, and at the Beverly Center when you go through those doors that you was not suppose to go through where everyone that tagged, tagged there. I was just wandering what he is doing now, he could be running a Fortune 500 Company for all I know. lol.

I knew him a little. We were both regulars at the Pico-Sepulveda yard (a happening graff spot in West LA back in the day).

He used to do block busters up and down labrea.
I think he was the first to number throw ups before wisk.

We was definately a prolific graffiti artist/writer. He was both a member of West Coast Artists and Sacred Reich/LADS ( a minor league gang that did alot of hit ups)xxx wrote:He used to do block busters up and down labrea.

I didn't know he was part of SXR. He must of backed up from that scene once he went full fledge WCA.
SxR and Pozerz were whacking eavhothet out back then.
Miner faded out around 89/90. I started seeing another kidwriting miner in the 2000s

Re: What ever happened to the tager Miner ? Did anyone know
by 1989 and 1990 Miner was probable 20 or 21 years old so he had a long run because I met him in 1985 and we hit a couple RTD on Wilshire & Crenshaw in '85 or '86.xxx wrote:I didn't know he was part of SXR. He must of backed up from that scene once he went full fledge WCA.

Re: What ever happened to the tager Miner ? Did anyone know
Al do you remember me, I use to try to hit up tag with You, News, and Tyrone from New York, when I first moved to Cali officially from Cleveland in 1985, Summer of 1982, 83, 84 I use to come out to visit my My Mom for a few months before officially moving to Cali as an official resident. I could not graff worth crap, I tried I even had a week name that you all use to make fun of Capt. L, I would tag Capt.L You all would laugh in good fun, I was laughing with yall. Then I guess You and I went different gang paths, I had a family friend's who was on your set, I use run into you when you went from Alski to becoming Al B.@1 wrote:by 1989 and 1990 Miner was probable 20 or 21 years old so he had a long run because I met him in 1985 and we hit a couple RTD on Wilshire & Crenshaw in '85 or '86.xxx wrote:I didn't know he was part of SXR.
