MPC Subway Prints – Bronx,NY 1979–1980
These trains were born in the Esplanade Tunnel and Stickouts during the peak of New York’s graffiti era. Painted by a crew of young kings—Rock, Colt, Reck, and others—most of whom aren't with us anymore. This isn’t just art. It’s memory, movement, and Bronx legacy frozen in time.
