Eric Haze is a well known graffiti artist and designer from New York City. During his early years as graffiti writer in the 1970s Haze was tagging the name "SE3" before taking on his more popular identity as "Haze". He is also known as one of the earliest designers of streetwear clothing and has a Haze Brand store in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan.
Some of his works include the now iconic early hip-hop logos for Public Enemy, EPMD, and MTV as well as album covers for the Beastie Boys and Tommy Boy Records. His handwritten text for the cover of the Beastie Boys' "Check Your Head" album is probably one of the most imitated handwriting styles to this day.
He has his own limited edition versions of G-Shock, Nike, and New Balance shoes.[1][2]
His graffiti was featured in both Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future.
