Greg LaMarche

You may not know the name Greg LaMarche, but if you count yourself as a connoisseur of urban artwork, then there's a good chance you're familiar with his work. LaMarche spent his early days spraying tags in the streets of Queens in the early 80's, under the monikers Spanky, SPY, and most notably SP One. He even went on to found the graffiti magazine Skills in 1992. Just as LaMarche's name has gone through an evolution, so have his skills as an artist. While he still employs the ‘clean-hand style’ he is noted for, his new work is fused with certain ‘collage aesthetics’ as well as that of other mediums that reinforce his own sense of personal style. It's that personal style that has LaMarche in high demand from folks like Zoo York and Quiksilver, as well as magazines like Mass Appeal and Juxtapoz. He's also had his urban aesthetic displayed across the country from Brooklyn to San Francisco. If his particular sense of street style hasn't hit you yet"¦maybe you're living on the wrong street.
