Lyric One
Lyric One (Joey Novotny) is a born and raised Coachella Valley graffiti artist living life in the Inland Empire these days.
At an early age, fat cap tags and graffiti pieces along the freeways in downtown caught the attention of Lyric One.
He’s always been drawn to aged and weathered boxcars sitting trackside in the train yards and old rusty signs hanging on abandoned buildings.
Over the past 10 years, Lyric One has gained notoriety for his unbelievable weathering skills on model trains, canvases and custom-painted recycled spray cans.
Lyric One gets most of his inspiration and ideas from the streets. It’s not uncommon to see a phone full of random photos of rusty old rails and objects. He stockpiles them for the one-off projects that keep the portfolio growing.
