Gritty nights in forgotten alleys with spray-paint. I encourage your personal opinion on art. Pink Dots.

Just wanted you to know this profile picture is old enough that I'm ashamed.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@Uebey @CourthouseNews Anyone who tucks in their polo and hikes their khakis during a press release, while standing in front of $23 in trinkets from Spirit Halloween's clearance rack does not belong in any art conversation.

Mind bogglingly, this account is now 14 years old.

Jeepers creepers. I'm old, y'all.

@adelebloch11 @justinboldaji @lakeshow_wess You couldn't understand what was going on in the video, so pretending you know anything about the culture is laughable. Read the room, moron.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@adelebloch11 @justinboldaji @lakeshow_wess You went from 'wanting to understand' to thinking you know what you're talking about real quick. You don't.

You have no authority to speak on graffiti; at best you're a student in this space, but certainly not a teacher. Have some self awareness.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@Born2Pee @justinboldaji @lakeshow_wess You sure have a tough time following conversations.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@Born2Pee @justinboldaji @lakeshow_wess I'm not impressed, I'm just saying you wouldn't make it.

Don't conflate the two.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

What a cool spot. I think graff culture's intuition for finding new spots -- and virgin walls -- is an under-appreciated aspect of the culture.

Quick piece somewhere in Spain 🇪🇸

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@adelebloch11 @justinboldaji @lakeshow_wess Ehhh... Not much.

Graffiti culture has the concept of 'roll calls' (pic included) where a bunch of tags go up in a single spot, as well as the concept of 'mobbing targets' (Euro passenger train missions on YouTube).

Although intimidating, the driver was not in danger.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@Born2Pee @justinboldaji @lakeshow_wess You couldn't.

[CHRIS OPEK @chrisopek]

@rabbithat11 @justinboldaji In a dumpster fire of comments, yours is incredible sober. Totally reasonable and relatable take.

I can empathize with the dude, this would have been an intimidating moment, especially if you're not comfortable with graffiti culture.

@Complex @janlucasander Imagine being at an Adele show and focusing on a random fan instead of Adele.

While working on a Brigitte Bardot project, Pinterest's algorithm's started force feeding me Ava Gardner pics.

Nah son, this ain't it... You clearly have no idea about my taste in women.

@amonkstone @holaplex This is rad. Are these animations painted frame-by-frame or rigged & moved?
