🎥 At Skintrade / Yardwork Gallery, we had the privilege of hosting the legendary Ernie Vales — a pioneer who helped shape the visual language of graffiti and tattoo culture in New York.

From his early days pushing boundaries in the streets, to his evolution as a fine artist, Ernie’s work has carried a raw energy and authenticity that continues to inspire new generations. His pieces don’t just sit on walls — they tell the story of a movement, a time, and a spirit that refuses to fade.

This reel is just a small piece of our exclusive interview with him, led by Rene Soto and AL Razor. More is on the way soon — you’ll want to see the full story.

@ernivales may be best known for his development of the 3D graffiti style that has influenced thousands worldwide to follow his technique; however, Vales, has a portfolio reaching far beyond what might be expected from a graffiti artist.
Now a creative powerhouse, Vales has completed many successful projects ranging from large-scale murals, to art directing films and videos, fashion, photography to restaurant and nightclub interior design worldwide. His collaborations have placed him in the heart of Google’s NYC office and the surreal world of photographer David LaChapelle. He has also worked closely with video director Hype Williams, spanning his art across all mediums
It was at the High School of Art and Design where Vales was introduced to graffiti and the emerging culture of Hip Hop. Painting at a feverish pace both on subway cars and on canvas the artist was soon to start showing at Graffiti Productions Inc., one of the first galleries to feature authentic graffiti works by the legends of the era. These shows, greatly received by press, fans and collectors became the solid foundation to a spellbinding career.
Vales would hone this talent through an array of many mediums: a foray in hand painted clothing led Vales to creating large murals in nightclubs of NYC. Having practiced large-scale pieces on the flanks of subway cars, he was well qualified to execute fantastic large-scale murals, quickly. Vales executed murals in Limelight, The Tunnel and Gil and Erni’s Rock and Roll Bar to name a short few out of more than 500 at least.
