New York City - The Big Apple. It’s said that there are eight million stories deriving from the 13th largest city in the world; this is one of them. Raised in the tough streets of Brooklyn during the 80s, Jay Torres strived to excel at everything he did. Becoming involved with graffiti during his high school years, Jay eventually found a way to turn the negative aspect of graffiti into a positive one. He obtained ‘permission’ walls to do his art, and earned money painting everything from store fronts in Puerto Rico to clothing throughout the city. As time passed Jay began to tire of the work/college routine. Upon the loss of his fellow U5 members, Soni and Slick, Jay decided to enlist into the US Army. Fifteen years of service later, and nineteen years after their deaths, Jay’s promise to honor his friends reaches fruition with this work.показать меньше
