Lee Quinones was born in Puerto Rico and became known in the graffiti world in 1976 when he and his Fab Five Crew painted a 10 car NYC subway train. Then Lee moved on to painting a handball court in his Lower East Side Neighborhood. He then moved on to works on canvas and was noticed by the European Graffiti Art Scene. His work has been featured in documentaries and he starred in Charlie Ahearn's Wild Style, playing a fictionalized version of himself and painted many of the film's backdrops. He continues to paint and collaborates in the fashion and advertising world. After studying up on Lee, I can understand Dan's interest in his work.
