SEN ONE IBM MOS

The father of one of the most revered and adopted Graffiti names in the world. George “SEN ONE” Morillo was born and raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in New York City. He has been a Graffiti artist since the early 1980’s, the golden era of Hip-Hop culture. He first started writing graffiti in his neighborhood in 1980, and started painting subway trains in 1982. That same year he joined "Incredible Bombing Masters" (IBM). Incredible Bombing Masters, as a crew were pioneers of their own style of Graffiti. The crew first started bombing (writing) on subway trains and school yard handball courts. Incredible Bombing Masters was a legendary crew that was created by Graffiti legend Doze Green, and legendary B-Boy Ken-Swift at the time members of the famous Rock Steady Crew. In 1982, the crew that Doze and Ken-Swift created was passed down to Dino aka “Poke” a close mentor of George and a mutual friend of both. George along with Gilbert aka “Epic” both joined Poke and became one of the first members of this crew, one of the most revered Graffiti crews in Hip Hop History.
During this time George “SEN ONE” was also attending Joan of Arc JHS and that’s where it all began. The New York City school system was failing and falling apart, this gave students the opportunity to do what they wanted. Students began to teach and learn from each other rather than their teachers. This young group of kids learned designs, styles, and letter techniques that where being passed down from older Graffiti masters before them. As a main member of IBM, George was bless to come across many talented and skilled young urban artists. Around this time Hip Hop was in it's golden-era, and the world was getting it's first taste of this fresh new sub-culture and Africa Bambaataa (Zulu Nation) dropped the classic "Planet Rock", in which a young Sen One can be seen in the video for that iconic song.
1984 when George was 15 years old he was commissioned to do a live art show and canvas for the late, great photographer Richard Avedon (RIP). A few years later, New York City began to change, and street artists and their art would be outlawed and the old canvases (subway trains) gave way to less rebellious ones (fabric).
In the 1990's George was involved the New York City music scene and he was a prominent part of a Rap/R&B group on Sony label called “Menageri” whose music producer Kevin “Stash” Perez was also an IBM member. After the group tragically fell apart George began working in an after school program in the Bronx teaching art to children ages 9 to 15, while at the same time a leading member of the Black Panther Collective here in New York. George was instrumental in creating the original anti-brutality Police patrols in Manhattan that are now called "Cop Watch" in Brooklyn by MXG organization.
George "SEN One" is currently working on artwork designs for many different clients, he creates personalized miniature graffiti Subway cars replicas, all sizes Graffiti laced fine art canvases and currently his artwork is being featured on the Rachel Roy's clothing line.
