PHASE 2 (aka Lonny Wood) is one of the most influential and well known New York City graffiti artists. Mostly active in the 1970s, Phase 2 is generally credited with originating the "bubble letter" style of graffiti writing, also known as "softies". He was also influential in the early hip-hop scene. He is from the Bronx, and attended DeWitt Clinton High School along with a number of other early graffiti artists. Many famous graffiti writers of the early 1970s would meet at a doughnut shop across from the school called the Coffee Shop before heading down to the subway station at 149th Street and Grand Concourse to watch tagged trains on the IRT line pass by. He was mentored in graffiti by his friend and neighbor Thomas Lee aka Lee 163rd, one of the pioneers of graf writing in the Bronx.
