Richard “Richie” Mirando likewise known as SEEN began spray-painting trains at a young age. Throughout the Seventies as well as Eighties he managed to develop up a track record for himself by tagging a lot of of the New-York subways with bright letters as well as funny cartoons that inspired lots of other artists as years have passed. After 16 years in business he lastly made a decision to step aside from the graffiti scene and open a tattoo studio as a way to continue making art.
Everybody who has seen his work knows why he is likewise called ” The Godfather of Graffiti” . Although lots of good artists emerged considering that he has stepped down from his throne, the street art scene is not what it used to be. Back in the days you would draw your inspiration from other graffiti artists, nothing different from what we do today. however let’s not fail to remember that the Internet was not fully developed back then, so the only way to see other works was to spot painted trains. To be a successful graffiti artist was a real job that required time as well as dedication. Nowadays, you can search the internet for any type of graffiti artwork offered from letters to numbers as well as cartoon characters. This is why SEEN considers that the scene has changed, making it much easier to show your talent.
To show our appreciation for the most well known graffiti artist in the world, I made a decision to share with you some of his throw-ups as well as pieces :
