How Did I Get Here? With Ryan Poli

Episode 21 - Ernie Vales, Graffiti Artist

The Ryan Poli Podcast Season 1 Episode 21

In the mid-80s, Ernie Vales began spray painting trains with his friends. Eventually, a thrilling hobby turned into a lifelong career, as he pioneered the popular 3D-style known today, collaborated with massive brands (Pepsi, Google), and made a name for himself in the upper-echelons of the street art world. 

Ryan and Ernie talk about the talented artist's start in New York, the influence of music and food in inspiring him to create, and how he came to be known as a true force in both the underground graffiti community and corporate art space.
