Mr Zee started experimenting with Graffiti styles by taking the outline away the the Graffiti art piece and pioneered the 3D and textured light styles of mural art street style graffiti. Over the years this developed into ‘Light Styles’ with neon styles of street art lettering.
The third Teem Krew first existed around 1984/85. the original members included ‘Snake’ ‘Freck’ and ‘Tomma’. Mr Zee ( real name Barry Mcnab) joined the North East Graffiti crew when encouraged to join with his exceptional talent for writing graffiti mural art on walls. Mr Zee explained people were dropping out the scene as they seen the whole experience as a ‘fad’ of the elements of the large hip hop movement sweeping through the world at this time.
Mr Zee the mural street artist embraced the community and heavily involved himself with the youths of the Meadow Well Area of the Newcastle upon Tyne and further afield. Meadow Well, at this time, made international news when riots broke out after two youths were tragically killed when they were ‘Joyriding’ whilst being chased by the local police.
This unfortunate incident was met with complete outrage around the council estates, which led into a full-blown riots that swept across various deprived areas of the north east of England including Elswsick and the Scotswood area of the west end of Newcastle upon Tyne.
With the help of local Support workers Mr Zee embarked on his first trip abroad to New York city, which at his time was the ‘mecca’ of street art Graffiti. It was at this holiday Mr Zee met the renowned Graffiti artist and political writer ‘Phase 2’ ‘Vulcan’ and ‘Dome’ . Naturally, all artists became life-long friends and shared the love for graffiti art on walls.
