PART ONE entered the Subway Graffiti movement in 1974 just after the foundations of piecing had been laid down. He began doing the bubble and mechanical styles of the era and by 1975-76 he truly came into his own. From 1977 to 1980 few writers could compete with PART ONE and his ‘TDS’ partners and he was one of the most accomplished artists on the New York City subway trains, in 1985 he took a brief hiatus from painting only to return in 1990 as a leading figure in the re-emergence of wild style pieces in murals in Harlem.

His art has been featured in the classic film Style Wars as well as the critically acclaimed book, Martha Cooper’s Hip Hop Files, and most recently the books, Burning New York, New York City Black Book Masters and Graffiti Planet. His biography, PART ONE – The Death Squad chronicles his art spanning more than 30 years.

PART ONE is active today painting both on canvas and on walls around the world and is truly a giant among giants.
