    Hey B, where did you hear about this? Not that I don't believe you, but I'm curious as to how he passed away. In his interview on that Style Wars 20th anniversary DVD he was saying that writing was seriously detrimental to his health. If that contributed to his death then that's really sad. Talk about dying for your art.

    Heads down -- peace out to the original. I can't hear his name without thinking of "IZ" throwups on repeat.

    RIP

    From years of using toxic aerosol products with no protective mask, Iz was diagnosed with kidney failure in 1996. In an interview in early 2000, he commented that he would give up all his past fame for full health. In August of 2003 he held a gallery showcasing his legal artwork in New York.
