Stranger #20 - Atom

Stranger # 20 - Atom

 

After getting Peter Pan doughnuts in Brooklyn with Candice, we stumbled upon Atom doing graffiti on an auto repair shop. Whether he had any affiliation with the shop was never confirmed.

 

Atom has been tagging trains since he was 15 years old, and has art all over Brooklyn. This passion of his is a costly one - spending almost $2000 for the supplies on the wall pictured. I asked if his art has ever been spray over or destroyed, he chuckled "no one dares". After we parted ways, I saw at least 3 other walls with Atom's signature.
