10 Years. More to come. More to look forward to. New secret projects and tons of new art. Here’s to another 10 amazing years and more stories!!

10 years. I have two lives. One as PaperMonster and the other as a PhD Student doing research on hypertension. They are very similar. They require that I use my hands and my imagination. That I know the past to push and create towards the future. The works I create whether it is in the lab or on a canvas are wide open for interpretation. I love what I do and I encourage everyone to push for what you love. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can only be or do one thing in life. Above is a photo from my lab with a brand new 48 inch wide by 60 inch tall canvas for a private collector.

10 Years. This photo is from 2009. Through art I have made some incredible and extremely talented friends. Most of them use small knives to create intricate and beautiful stencils. Layers upon layers that develop into breathtaking images. In 2009 I created the “Friends With Knives”. A growing collection of artists with one goal; to show the world the value and beauty behind stencil art and stencil graffiti. The power that a simple stencil can have to change the world. Many thanks to @dirtypilotcom for giving us the first opportunity to share our work and to my friends @royschreuder @regantamanui @davelowell @benslow @billymode @a1oneakatanha @eyez @elkstencils and @lecko76 Looking forward to the future!!! #PaperMonster #stencil #stencils #streetart #stencilart #streetartists #stencilgraffiti #stencilrevolution #stencilartists #graffiti #graffitiart #graffitiworld #urbanart #urbancanvas #canvas #knives #friendswithknives #dirtypilot #art #artlife #artshow #gallery #galleryshow #spraycan #spraypaint

10 Years. Nothing is promised. Throughout my life I have had incredible amounts of support. People who have taken a risk and believed in me. There are times where I look back and can’t thank people enough for how they have helped me develop as an artist. Galleries like Art Whino @artwhino Dirty Pilot @dirtypilotcom Parlor Gallery @parlorgallery and Metropolis Gallery @angelomadrigale opened so many wonderful doors and helped me mature as an artist. Every show I have I personally hand out stickers with my art work on them. I’ve had people throw out the stickers into the trash right in front of my face. You focus on the good. Hope that you will inspire. Some of the most meaningful emails I have received have been from teachers who use my paintings to teach their students about art. To all of you that have and continue to support me THANK YOU with all my heart!! #PaperMonster #stencil #stencils #stencilart #stencilart #streetartists #stencilgraffiti #streetartcollage #stencilrevolution #graffiti #graffitiart #graffitiworld #art #artlife #artshow #artwhino #dirtypilot #parlorgallery #gallery #galleryshow #drawing #urbanart #urbancanvas #drawing #spraycan #spraypaint #canvas

Day 7. The art department in college and I were not friends. I once went to ask if I could do an independent study in stencils and street art and the professor said I could design flyers for their events instead. I wanted to show them that I could do something bigger and better than they had ever done. My friend Tory had the opportunity to put a show together on campus and she invited me to help. I immediately put together a whole shows worth of paintings using anything and everything I had. We went to the dumpsters behind campus and found green fences. I strapped the fences to the top of the golf cart I used for work at the MRC and took them over to the gallery. Tory, Jen and I spent the entire nite before the show opened putting everything together while A-Track songs played till 5am. That afternoon the show opened. All of the art professors came including the one that said I could make flyers for him. I loved the look on his face!!

Day 7. So where did the name PaperMonster come from? While in college I lived in a theme house called “La Casa Latina.” I had no studio and no real place to make art so I would spraypaint and make my paintings in the hallways of the dorm in front of other people’s rooms. One day while painting I heard a song with the lyrics “monstruo de papel” aka “paper monster” and BAMN!! I looked around at the mess I was making and there it was, my new name. Later, Faile @faileart would form the company @papermonsterart with the same name. I still get emails about when the next Swoon @swoonhq or Bast @bastny print is going to drop. #PaperMonster #stencil #stencils #streetart #stencilart #streetartists #stencilgraffiti #graffiti #graffitiart #urbanart #graffitiworld #urbancanvas #art #artshow #nycart #nycstreetart #canvas #drawing #paper #mess #hallwaystudio #artlife #paint #paintlife

Day 6. Sharing my love for stencils with other people has always been important. I’ve never taken an art class. Everything I know has come from experience and making mistakes. While in college I set up an annual art event with the help of other clubs on campus. Students could come and make their own free shirts, spraypaint on panels and listen to live music. It felt great to walk around campus the next day seeing people wearing shirts from my event but to be completely honest, getting all of the free left over art supplies was even better!! 2006 #PaperMonster #stencil #stencils #streetart #stencilart #streetartists #stencilgraffiti #stencilrevolution #graffiti #graffitiart #graffitiworld #mural #muralist #urbanart #urbancanvas #nycart #nycstreetart #shirts #design #art #artcollection #spraycan #spraypaint #drew #drawing

Day 6. After several months I got the chance I wanted!! The school wanted to renovate our late night snack place called “The Space”. Without hesitation I said I would paint it for free!! The next few weeks in between classes and work I would draw out ideas during class, use the money from my work-study to buy materials and persuade my friends to come help me paint each night. I created new stencils from my travels and was now inspired by a new book: Graffiti World put together by Nicholas Ganz and Tristan Manco @tristan_manco In fact you can see the logo for Graffiti World in the center. All of my heart went into making sure the piece would be loved and preserved. Inside the mural I left hidden messages and thank you(s) to my friends. Years later the entire building was torn down to build a new student center. The mural was also destroyed and I was given a brick from the building during my 5th year class reunion. #PaperMonster #paint #art #stencil #stencils #streetart #stencilart #streetartists #stencilgraffiti #graffiti #graffitiart #graffitiworld #urbanart #urbancanvas #nycart #nycstreetart #spraypaint #spraycan #acrylic #drawing #wings #rat #birds #paintlife
