Tie One

Jonathan See Lim AKA Tie One (1979–1998), was a graffiti artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was well known in the graffiti community for his aggressive style of graffiti art and the large amount of work he produced. Lim was born in the Philippines to ethnic-Chinese parents. During his early childhood, his family moved to California. -pilipinas-streetplan http://pilipinastreetplan.blogspot.com/2009/03/tie-one-19791998-rip.html Saint Patrick’s Day has always been difficult to celebrate because on this day eleven years ago, our friend and soldier Tie, Jonathan See Lim, was murdered in the Tenderloin of San Francisco on Turk and Taylor.

He was a major influence to us all and his memory will live on in our hearts. - saberone http://saberone.com/blog/2009/

The Birth of Venus by Sandro Boticelli Labandera by Victorio Edades But often times in humanity’s grand pursuit of art and beauty, it is easy to forget that women are not only muses.
