Zephyr (New York) Photo by Zephyr Untitled: NYC subway car, 1986 In 1995 Zephyr was dubbed "The elder-statesman of graffiti" by the New York Times. Zephyr began his public art career in 1977 by surreptitiously painting New York City subway cars. In the early nineteen eighties he traveled the globe with fellow aerosol artists Dondi and Futura, spreading the graffiti doctrine worldwide. He is a veteran of New York’s Fun Gallery, which also produced such art luminaries as Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Currently, Zephyr divides his time between painting, drawing, writing and lecturing about various forms of modern art, with special attention to graffiti art. He is the author of "Style Master General" (HarperCollins, 1981) the biography of the late artist Dondi White.
