"As a graffiti writer, you have your primary name, right? That's like the name that you're known for, your people call you, you recognize it's like your title. And I started writing WISH sometime in the early to mid 90's as just a secondary name. If I was doing some spots that were hot and I really didn't want to put my name per se, I didn't want that attention. But as other writers get to know each other, we can tell if a particular writer does something because you know his style. So I was writing WISH during those days, which was more if I would paint a train or hit a spot, like I said that I didn't really want that attention."

CES [AKA WISH] is a prominent figure in the New York City graffiti scene. He began his career in the early 1980s and quickly gained recognition for his innovative style and techniques. CES is particularly known for his 3D letter designs and 'Wild Style' graffiti.
