Brooklyn graffiti artist for hire company. Our local Brooklyn based street artists are available for mural commissions throughout New York City. The urban art that we create is often done with spray paint. The street art movement is a unique art form that’s not formally taught in schools. The NYC graffiti scene was birthed on the subway trains. Many people don’t realize that murals painted by artists in Bushwick, Brooklyn often come from street art and graffiti backgrounds. Many of the most famous contemporary artists today like Steve Powers, Keith Haring and Barry McGee come from a background of New York graffiti. Recently, we partnered with our neighbors at Attri Enterprises to paint an exterior mural on their business property in East Williamsburg. Our Brooklyn graffiti artists paid homage to the borough with a unique text based design that spelled out “Brooklyn” over a NYC font in the background. The interesting part of this piece was the repeated dot patterns that appears to be solid from afar. However, when the viewer comes close to the wall, they notice a lot more texture. As a result, this piece reads differently when driving by in a car from afar and walking by up close! In addition to the Brooklyn mural artist piece facing Metropolitan Ave. we also curated a series of traditional style graffiti pieces on the side block. Some of the artists that painted on this wall included, Dmote, Stae2, Casey Bolding and more. As a company with founders that have deep roots in the graffiti culture, we always try to promote the history of spray paint art. Furthermore, we offer a yearly scholarship for students interested in pursuing a career in graffiti and street art. You can find out more about the Klughaus scholarship on our parent company’s website.

14 Muralists Rep NYC Street Art at Governor's Ball
In the midst of show-stopping Governor's Ball moments like Childish Gambino announcing the end of Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar almost appearing at Schoolboy Q's set, and Chance the Rapper performing irresistible ear-worm "May I Have This Dance" with Francis and the Lights, over the weekend a squadron of artists emblazoned Randall's Island with New York City street style.
Since 2014, the Randall's Island mega-festival has eschewed flashy light art in favor of muralists. Given the week before the festival to complete two 8' x 20' murals each, NYC staples like Damien Mitchell, Hanksy, Persue, Magda Love, and BK Foxx brought NYC flair to the island. Seven towers, each decked out with four canvases, rose from the ground to meet festival-goers from around the world. Curated by Lola Sherwood and organized by Che Anderson, the muralists paid tribute to Ol' Dirty Bastard and Sharon Jones, NYC's skyline, pigeons, rats, and one artist's love of tacos. The 28 murals represent a variety of styles and street art philosophies propagated in New York.

For her Life Through Taco-Colored Glasses (above), the Brooklyn-based BK Foxx tells Creators, "My beautiful model Margot laid in a bed of meat and cheese and shells for this photo shoot, her devotion to handheld Mexican food is off the charts." Foxx is also behind a mural that urged visitors to stay woke. "As Childish Gambino said, 'Be alive, be aware, use your brain, think hard, but in lights!'" She sprayed both murals freehand, sans projectors and stencils.
Aussie immigrant and current New York resident Damien Mitchell is responsible for the homages to Ol' Dirty Bastard and Sharon Jones. "I decided to pay homage to two musicians whose work I both like, and that connects to NYC," he says. "I reached out to both Wu-Tang and the Dap-Kings and have offered to donate the murals once taken down."

The pseudonymous, Chinatown-based artist Hanksy painted big blocks of bright colors that were rarely seen free of selfie-takers. "I've been playing around with both a new style and direction as of late," he says. "While I usually don't do a lot of festival gigs, it was a great experience. Good camaraderie and wonderfully catered. God bless meal tickets."
The majority of the artists are New York-based, but Sherwood tells Creators, "I have always tried to include both local and international artists; it makes sense to me to bring art that reflects the diversity of styles and artists from New York at the moment. Whether the artists call NYC home or are just passing through, they all feel inspired by the energy of the city and it reflects in the work."
