COPE2 Graffiti Art – Fresh Gallery Photos

COPE2 Graffiti Art – Fresh Gallery Photos

Back to work, ugh. But some art always helps!

COPE2 has been around for while, people seem to love him or hate him and that can’t be a bad thing for a notorious writer.

Big bubble letters are our favourite so this is a great set of pics for us to see and a decent video of COPE2 stuff. You can buy them too, if you want a bit of graffiti history and have a whole bunch of spare cash.

Here are a few from the curbandstoops.com Interactive Gallery, nice.

VIMBY – Cope 2

Here is some stuff the gallery sent over, a potted history of COPE2…

Cope2 grew up in the public housing projects in the late 1970s. He came to graffiti like everyone else in those days, at an age when young men and women began to explore the urban labyrinth where we all lived. Active in the graffiti scene since 1978, Cope2 has grown to become an ambassador for New York graffiti.

Cope2 has a roster of accomplishment including commissions by Time Life Magazine, an apperance in Marc Ecko’s 2006 video game, Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure and a documentary on his life. Despite his success, Cope2 remains the same rugged graffiti artist he was in the 1980s.

Have a look at the Time Life billboard commission time lapse video that they mention above, looks great.

Check out the rest of the COPE2 graffiti gallery photos from the gallery here. Here is a post on another graffiti legend DOZE GREEN.
