Lee says: This is a CD cover I made for Boundless Radio and DJ Shiftee. Shiftee always makes the craziest mixes and is certainly a world class DJ.

Lee says: This is a screen print that eventually became a series of stencils for the streets. It's kind of my steeze.

Lee says: This piece i mounted up about 20 feet high with a ladder and some wood glue. It was right by Faile and Bast pieces. They're probably my favorite dudes on the planet. This was up for like three weeks and then it got stolen. It was inevitable.

Lee says: Lets just say this took a long time to draw, and alot of agave. And maybe some other stuff, too.

Lee says: This is some street shit I did outside of Boundless in Brooklyn NY. It's a little different from my graphic design style, but it's definitely still a representation of who I am as an artist.

Lee says: This was a piece inspired by So-Me, ESPO, and the beach.

Lee says: This is another typical TRICE poster I created. "Just Doing It" is inspired by a few of my favorite illegal activities.

Lee says: These were all images I either found, illustrated, stole, or killed for. I scrambled them all up and then collaged the shit out of them. At the time I liked using these black and white pieces to screen print or use to wheat paste, and I still do actually. One of the street art pieces I created is an assortment of these images rearranged, enlarged, and then painted.

Lee says: This was another great photo I came across, I kinda had to steal it. At the time I was drinking a little bit to much and not really sleeping. So it made sense that, "I need to get my shit together 2010" was born. This was also printed on tees and stickers.

Lee says: This piece was done for "The Brooklyn Artist Project", I was definitely a bit dosed when I made this. I started at 3am and finally stopped around noon the next day. My eyes were so crispy after squinting for 9 hours straight. I still have some of the vinyl di-cut stickers and t shirts that were made from this.

Lee says: I call this one Trice Cream Team. It's just an old photo I found at a thrift store that I then scanned in. A couple gradient bars, and voila!

Lee says: This tall bastard I thought up about three years ago while doing some freelance work for aNYthing. We all know the, "15 bucks little man, put that shit in my hand" from Jay and Silent Bob. I think I was watching it in the background when I was sketching this dude out.
