Debbie Millman Instagram – In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Leonard Hilton McGurr was a young artist writing graffiti on subway cars in New York City. But then he joined the Navy and was overseas for four years. When he came back, the graffiti scene was beginning to merge with the East Village scene and generating art stars like Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. McGurr started working on canvas, became integral to the movement, and over the years his lush and lyrical paintings have turned him into the legendary, magnificent art star we know as Futura aka @futuradosmil. He’s also designed album covers, performed onstage with The Clash, designed sneakers and…even automobiles.
