While working on my graffiti photo essay and poking my head (& camera) into various corners of the city, I came across a series of James De La Vega's paintings in Spanish Harlem. I found him at his store in the East Village and unfortunately couldn't really interview him in the context of this particular project (he staunchly asserts that his work is art, not graffiti), but it was still nice to attach a face to the murals.
