Time to celebrate one of our Day Ones, ernivales ! 

About the Artist: Way back in the 80s, A very young artist was sneaking out from his home to find his way, and his name onto the flanks of NYC subway cars and walls. 

Then the 90s came and while you partied in the most popular clubs of your era, Erni Vales painted murals, turning the walls of over 300 clubs from NYC to Chicago to Miami into his own personal canvas.

The early 90s Vales found himself in Hollywood where he would paint murals for 2 TV series, The Flash on CBS and Viper on NBC along with murals on many other notable movies like Seven, all the while beginning his collaborations with famed photographer David LaChapelle, creating sets for many celebrities like Madonna and Elton John.

Currently Vales, no longer a young teen running from the law just to create art now boasts many enforcement agencies as clients, US Marshals, Interpol, as well as an A-list of corporate clients from Pepsi, Dos Equis, Absolut, Wu-Tang and Def Jam.Now, after almost 4 decades of designs for everyone else Vales had turned back to his one love and passion - his own paintings.

Thank you for being a part of Loupe!
