Aldo Valdez is a San Francisco California based artist. He worked as Head Preparator at Paul Thiebaud Gallery and before that at Gagosian Gallery. These are earlier, one of a kind, mixed media paintings from his "Bang" series in a street art style.

This period coincides with Keith Haring's subway advertisement subversions and Jean-Michel Basquiat's SAMO tags. Graffiti artist Haze has provided font and graphic designs for music acts such as the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy.
