RECOGNIZE! Dondi White! Legend.

Donald "Dondi" White (April 7, 1961 – October 2, 1998) is considered one of the most influential graffiti artists in the history of the movement.

Graffiti became a serious part of Dondi's life in the early 70's. Dondi adopted "NACO" as his moniker, and he became a member of TOP (The Odd Partners). In 1977, Dondi created his own crew, named CIA (Crazy Inside Artists). For the next 20 odd years, Dondi became recognized as the stylistic standard, influencing a generation of graffiti writers.

His most famous work was Children of the Grave Parts 1, 2 and 3—three whole cars in the New York subway in the years 1978-1980.
