SNAKE 1 Art Talk - Pt. 1

SNAKE 1 Art Talk - Pt. 1 — SNAKE 1 (Eddie Rodriguez) emerged from Washington Heights in 1971, dominating the 1, A, and CC subway lines with bold, elegant single-stroke signatures and multi-car pieces. As a core original member of United Graffiti Artists (UGA), he helped pioneer the transition of graffiti from train yards onto canvas in historic 1972 SoHo gallery exhibitions.
