Greg Lamarche was born and raised in Queens and still resides in New York City. Taking inspiration from the streets, and using the same fundamentals he developed during his 25+ years as a graffiti writer, he creates unique collage's that blur the line between fine art and graphic design. Each of his pieces take a painstakingly amount of time to make as Greg strictly uses text from found objects and flat leaflet paper that he collects for sometimes years at a time before the final work is created. Greg's work incorporates an array of typography and word fragments as well as elements of graffiti such as motion, repetition, multiple perspectives, bold color, wit, and always fresh styles.

During the 1990's Greg published Skills Magazine, a cut and paste style collection of graffiti from the world over. Skills Magazine grew in popularity during the early 90's and became an early reflection of hip hop culture at the time, featuring interviews with pioneers of the movement, including Mobb Deep, Black Moon and Masta Ace. These days Greg focuses his skills towards installation graffiti projects, fine art, and commercial work. His work has been featured in numerous gallery showings across North America and in publications such as Juxtapoz, Arkitip, Swindle, Mass Appeal, Vapors, as well as a slew of others.
