SEEN: "THE GODFATHER OF GRAFFITI"

You Tube - Richard Mirando, aka Seen, born 1961 in The Bronx, New York, is one of the most famous American graffiti-artists, often referred as the godfather of graffiti. He started to paint on New York's subway in 1973. After the mid-1980s, Seen became known mostly as a tattoo artist, though he has somewhat retired from this profession in 1994, still owning his tatoo shop. His trans-continental crew "United Artists" (or simply UA) has gained great reputation around the world. Considered the godfather of graffiti by many of today's graffiti artists. He is now concentrating on three dimensional sculpture and a series of vinyl collectible figures. He appears in many graffiti movies and books, most significantly in Style Wars and Subway Art.
