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
