“I had just been doing graffiti around New York and this real estate investor guy had walked through meat packing in New York and saw some of my graffiti.

He then commissioned me to make ten paintings and put on my first art show. Between the sold out show and the cops chasing after me it created a lot of media and I've been doing really well since then.” IfsFirstsWellsArtMadeRealShowsGuySawsMediaNew YorkPaintingTenMeatInvestorsCopImpressedEstatesChasingGraffitiPackingSold Out Author:Alec Monopoly
