About

I was in college when I saw my first street art tour.  I have been living and breathing street art ever since. I created the longest running street art tour in NYC going for over 13 years strong. After many years of requests, I also founded NYC’s best graffiti art class. Fast Forward to today and I am the owner and operator of Graff Tours – The Street Art Studio in NYC and LA.

Bringing European style and immense talent, LEA is showing the entire world that girls go hard. See some of her amazing work here

Leaf (real name not disclosed) is originally from Upstate NYC but has made NYC his home for the past 5 years.

Most famous for his grim reaper and Staff Checker Board, Staff continues to create great art and showcase the history of the art form for all those that cross his path. Check out his insta here.

Audrey, aka Bytegirl, is a life-long photographer and a self-professed history nerd.  Photographing artists at work is her passion and she has an unquestionable knowledge of the street art scene in NYC.  Friends with many of the artists and often a den mother to those visiting from out of town when she isn’t leading tours, she is likely to be found somewhere on the streets watching paint dry.
