When grafitti artists go mainstream you get someone like Reas: a respected artist in the corporate and art world, not some punk kid writing Anarchy on the bus shelters in your city. This goes to show you the grafitti isn’t a waste of time. Reas makes more money than all of us and that is why Reas is being repped in the DrunkenStepfather – Art of the Day feature. I guess the other reason he’s being repped is the fact that he’s got a girl in pink panties in the piece, and we love fucking pink.
