Ashford Street Press proudly presents a book on the life of Brooklyn Writer and Artist
George “ Crime79” Ibanez.
The book depicts the amazing journey told in pictures and stories of a Brooklyn boy that entered the secretive world of subway graffiti in the late 70’s. George Ibanez as Crime79- explores his journey dodging the tough streets of Brooklyn East New York and his climb as a pioneering subway painter to gallery artist and 40 years in the creative world. With many never before published photos, the artist explains stories and anecdotes of his evolution of painting New York City subways to the body of work on canvas that are held in art collections worldwide.
George Ibanez as Crime79- unveils yet another piece of the missing puzzle of the somewhat fragmented story and history of this emerging Art Movement that grew from a bunch of kids living a Tom Sawyeresque life of creativity and adventure in the streets of New York City to helping create one of the greatest Art Movements of all times.
