Piece 

Here we see a piece of street art by Stay High 149, whose real name was Wayne Roberts. Roberts came of age in the Bronx during the late 60’s and 70’s, a period marked by urban decay and social unrest. Like many young people, particularly those from marginalized communities, he found expression and agency through graffiti. His tag, "Stay High 149," was born from a playful nod to the TV show "The Saint," whose haloed stick figure he adapted into his own signature. Roberts' work became known for its distinctive lettering and cartoonish figures. It was a visual rebellion against the systemic neglect and social inequalities faced by his community. Graffiti was more than just vandalism; it was a voice, a claim to public space, and a declaration of existence. Though the exact date is unknown, this piece embodies the spirit of a generation finding its voice and identity through art in the streets.
