BAN TWO was a dominant force on the IRT subway division in particular the 4 line and Broadway. Ban was next door neighbors with NOC 167 in the Bronx who proved to be a valuable influence. BAN hit the ground running at the launch of his career. Almost over night he became a major problem for the Transit Authority. His name appeared on subway car interiors and exteriors on almost every 4 train, assuring a place in history as one of the 4 lines greatest bombers. The volume of his work peaked in 1979 and '80. He frequently painted by himself, but also had fruitful partnerships with writers like FUZZ ONE.
