ARTISTS

Stash exhibited his first canvases at a group show in 1983 at the Fun Gallery, New York, followed by his first piece 'The Wall' being published in the renowned graffiti book 'Spray Can Art' in 1985.

He painted his last active subway with Zephyr in 1987 and has since showcased work alongside some of the best, including Futura and pop graffiti artist Kaws, as well as performing live shows with the likes of James Lavelle / Mo Wax.

Stash has moved beyond the realms of graphic art and has now firmly established himself as an innovator and influencer in the world of clothing design. He is the entrepreneurial force and founder of the legendary clothing design studio Subware, where he was the first to use simple, sharp and bold graphics - elements of graffiti and the street environment that hadn't been used before.

He is also a collaborator on the clothing line Project Dragon and owner of Recon stores in both New York and Tokyo.

Art historian Ben Jones' fascinating and in depth interview with Stash is published in The Elms Lesters Book
