While living in San Francisco, he quickly garnered attention when his signature &#8220;KR&#8221; tag popped up throughout the city. As he became one of the more prominent figures on the streets on NYC and San Francisco, he began to hone his craft by creating better tools launching his own line of homemade markers and mops, combining his moniker KR with the word INK.
