#SEEN created his first painting in 1979, and in the early 1980s, he began exhibiting his work in galleries throughout the United States and overseas together with great names such as #KeithHaring, #AndyWarhol, #JeanMichelBasquiat, #Dondi, #Quik, and #Blade. During those years, #SEEN opened his tattooing studio – Tattoo Seen – which quickly became one of the most successful studios in NYC. Additionally, SEEN’s work has been published in many acclaimed books including Subway Art by #MarthaCooper and #HenryChalfant, and American #Graffiti by Margo Thompson. Also, his oeuvre has been featured in Style Wars (1983), a documentary that chronicled the rise of subway graffiti in #NewYork in the late 1970s and early 1980s. #seen #house2six #TheGodfatherofGraffiti #graffitiart
