Influencial to Taggers + Street Artists?

For years, I would see these hooded characters from Wizards in some of top graffiti writers works and never got the reference to the movie, especially the writers who went to Manhattan schools but were original from the outer boroughs, Pink Lady, Future 2000 , or were from Manhattan like Zephyr and Revolt ,- I do not know if Dondi incorporate any wizards imagery into his work but I would be surprise- yes wizards imagery was used by writers at the time I would not say that the movie was infulentical to writers aesthetically, as far as color or outlines yes writers used the imagery from the movie as they would any other contemporary cultural image on the time, Donkey King, Ed Koch, Micky Mouse.. but wizards images were more prevalent in a lot work you see in gallerys and in Black books and yes maybe Wizards did influence some graffiti artists to get into animation,-

Interesting footenote: Legendary and overlooked NYC writer Noc167 actually did a brief stint on the production of Wizards.
