About Stayhigh:
Roberts had already been nicknamed Stayhigh by his friends. He always had weed on him and was often high .He added the 149 to his name as a nod to the Grand Concourse. Because of his age, Roberts had a better sense of aesthetics, and his tag style quickly reflected that. In 1972, at the age of 22, Wayne Roberts final tag style emerged as he took the stick figure from the Saint TV show, inverted it, gave it a joint to smoke, and placed it just above the final letter of his name., Wayne Roberts went on a three year writing spree on the NYC subways that writers still talk about. Every tag was a gem.
He is considered to be in the top 5 graffiti artists of all time.
Stayhigh 149 disappeared from the public in the late 1970's to return in 2000.
Between 2000 and 2012 he continued to write his name everywhere, even developing a new tag for when he had little time or space - it was the smoker - and it could be spotted in every neighborhood in the city. A whole new generation of writers saw how he did it old school as he hit trains with markers in the middle of the day, at a time when most writers focused only on the streets. Roberts enjoyed writing with younger writers, and they were thrilled to meet him.
Wayne Roberts Stayhigh 149 died at the age of 62 in 2012. He died as he lived, as a street art/graffiti icon, the likes of which we’ll never see again.
Now in 2026, STAYHIGH "149" artwork is highly collected .
