Lee Washington, Mini Mural

Lee Washington born in San Juan, Puerto Rico is an airbrush and aerosol artist who is most active in the Houston area. He is most known for painting realistic portraits and 3-D lettering. Lee first noticed he could draw in the 2nd grade, in the late 70s he got into breakdancing, Graffiti, and BMX Freestyle. It was 1982 when he picked up his first spray paint can to see if he could put a sketch from his black book onto a large wall. After a few years of practicing and improving his talent of graffiti he decided to move his artwork onto t-shirts. In 1988 Lee painted his last graffiti wall. Then in 1993 he attended the Art Institute of Houston to learn the business side of art. Now, after 20 years hiatus he returned to airbrushing and spray painting.
