"While Vulcan's street art has graced literallythousands of walls and trains in his native New Yorkover the years, and his artwork appears in pretty muchevery book on the history of spray can and urban art,the term "graffiti" hardly does his oeuvre justice.Vulcan's murals have shown in museums, his art can befound on platinum-selling album covers, and hisabstract canvases hang in countless private andcorporate collections... Vulcan is one of those unique individuals whosecreativity both reflects and drives popular culture.He first performed at Harlem's legendary ApolloTheatre when he was five, sang in funk and heavy metalbands, worked for years as a DJ in underground clubs,and produced chart-topping electronic music. He haswritten for VIBE, chronicled the undergroundmotorcycle stunt scene in New York, traveled the worldpainting live at hip-hop festivals, spoken at NYU andYale on the history of urban art (before being hustledout the back door to dodge police), competed ininternational video game competitions, and iscurrently working on his second screenplay. Vulcan'sart can be found on the walls of Danger Labs andGoogle in Silicon Valley, and he was recentlycommissioned by Sun Microsystems to paint live attheir Java One conference...."
