@DokeTv I don't want this comment to get lost in the sauce. Here's a little bit of insider knowledge from the construction world. Plywood. I noticed you were extending from the road. Most likely for solid ground. Sand is sketchy to work from in a man lift. It gets stuck, sinks, and would possibly tip over. If you or the owner of the lot of the fenced in area were worried about that. 3/4 inch plywood is your solution 1 sheet per wheel is enough surface tension to keep you level. You could literally lay them out from one end of your working area to the other, probably like 10-20 sheets. They're reusable, and it allows you to go cheaper on the lift your using. Instead of a 100 foot actuation boom you can get a 50.
I got all emotional for you hearing about your journey from sleeping in your car and showering there to doing this mural now… you’ve worked hard man!!! You’re amazing you deserve all the success! Big love from London ❤
So sick. I can’t imagine the energy you must have had after meeting him that way. And appreciated the look back at your own story - you have so much to be proud of and I know you’re only going to keep climbing! Much respect.
@@Kiptoe im going to be playing pro going on tour in the future since your not having me do any letters on any of your projects ,. you can consider if you want a live band (ME) to accompany (YOU) in one of your painting videos in the future ,. ? 4getting a bout KeS9DMT cum on now sun ,,. :) ' '
I have to say not only is your art amazing but u have such a fantastic storytelling ability and when you do ur voice overs. This combo with the soundtrack u pick really make ur videos so engaging! Congrats on this amazing mural and getting such a high profile client!
I think this maybe one of my favorite videos from you, more for the message of overcoming your fears and going for it, and the support of others to achieve your dreams... The Art is fantastic as always! Thanks man for the inspiring words, it hit a note with me today.
Looks to me that few are looking closely at what he painted because it’s so finely detailed it looks like a professional billboard. Such good lettering
What an epic project! Wow -- congrats! The waves look so alive with power, and the surfers too. It was so cool to see you bump into someone from the show. Amazing.
Your colour game is so on point dude.. I know that colour palette (rust red/blues/teals/oranges) is kind of your thing but the depth rendering it gives is pure butter. Mad skills. Keep on smashing it.
I just binge watched all of your videos (even repeated the ones I had already watched), and I gotta say that I got a little emotional here. I'm so damn proud of you. I can't express how grateful I am to see the beauty that you've put out into this chaotic world. Thank you for being you.
What I admire is the the process and actually seeing the passion from this artist. If you are walking by and you happen to see this mural, yeah of course you would appreciate it, but because we got to see the process, we appreciate it even more.
The way you just freehanded the letters and numbers without measuring anything was impressive! The whole mural is awesome and your channel is very inspiring. Stay gold brother
your videos are always so entertaining and well edited, crushing it you inspire me to keep painting murals. cheers froma fellow philadelphian muralist!
I'm a new subscriber and painter myself. I'm not a mural painter. I deal in acrylics and oils on canvas. I am absolutely amazed at your phenomenal talent. How you bring such a huge scale project to life and still keep everything in its proper proportion is such an amazing skill that I know has taken numerous hours and calculations to bring to fruition. Your use of values and color is off the hook! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of the world. I look forward to viewing your other projects.
Sick! Seeing your journey from car living to HBO mural painting AND the encounter mid-vid, getting approval... Huge confidence boost! Love seeing you where you are and admire the stubborness it took to get there! Keep going Kiptoe! 🌴🎭
Its absolutely amazing to see you work each mural with such simple tools at a large scale. You are so humble for your success and its great to hear your story on your growth and risks of pursuing your passion. Much love
amazing as usual... but this composition and colors hits different for some reason! I hope you are taking more than one shower every week, Master Kiptoe😘
Much respect .I'm an old skool writer from the late 70's to present and let me tell you , You are one of the few new skool graffiti writers I totally give much respect to . More writers should follow your passion and mindset . This piece is one of my favorites youv'e done . You are blessed with the skills to get it done kiddo. Again much respect. You have earned your blessings and stay humble , you let your work speak for itself. again , RESPECT.
Kiptoe, you are by far one of my favourite artists on RUclips. The compositions, concepts, execution - make for great watch. Really like the comic book panels. Keep up the awesome work 🖖🏻✌🏻🤜🏻
Dude.....I have been following you for years now. You just keep bringing it to the next level. So glad to see you follow your passion and continue to do what you love. If you do what you love, its not work its just another day getting paid doing what makes you happy. All the best as always Kiptoe!
I have been painting waves and turtles with oils on canvas and I have to say this was so much fun to watch you create with spray cans, tips, brushes and your finger. Colors are dope. Composition reads well, and the story with the surfer dude was cool. Congratulations!
It is always so satisfying to watch someone who loves their work. The end result is wonderful but the process is the force of life. You've earned the joy your work brings you.
Amazing how a great artist with just a few simple strokes expertly and quickly applied can convey a message or feeling. A couple strokes and I'm like, wow what a great sunset without knowing what it is, or the outline of the big eye already conveys resilience and determination.
Nice. Max respect for freehand too. No stencils, reference images to look at while painting or even being able to do both sides on the same days. Very cool man. I hope he made good commission for it.
Wow, amazing stuff. Great job. I would like if possible if you can do a video about your beginnings as an artist. Because you mentioned when you moved to LA… if you can do a video on that that would be great
idk why but I cried watching this. Ive been watching you since 2019 and seeing you excel in creating videos and making more deals/commissions with well known companies/brands makes me so happy. you inspire me kiptoe!
You have made a life choice. You took risks. You have showed resilience under adversities. You spread your personality and positive attitude. And you won. You are a good man, talented and example for many of us!
Fantastic! Beautiful artwork KipToe. So happy that HBO got you involved in a project like that, because so many people will have an opportunity to see that mural, and hopefully reflect on something positive in their lives. Love the art!
The seagull was your worst critic 😝Little bastard.🕊️ As a billboard painter (in the late 80s) my worst enemy were pigeons. Great work man! Looks awesome!
Congrats. You are living your best life and blessing the world with your talent. I appreciate the humanity and spirituality that you convey in your videos. Thank you for being authentically you and bringing light to the world . . .
You knocked it out of the park. Again. Thank you Kiptoe. Thank you for sharing your gifts & thoughts with us. Wicked awesome. I look forward to even better creations from you. How about some more collab's with 10 100. And the rest of best.
I liked your turn-around story…it’s inspiring. Fabulous art work and execution of it under difficult conditions. It was very cool that you met the guy from the movie poster…and that he showed you the actual footage of that moment on his phone!
Incredible mural, great job! Your project proves the idea that the most daunting tasks can be conquered as long as you have the courage to take that first step and start it!
I'm starting my largest mural ever this weekend, I've been super stoked but super nervous. Your videos have really helped give me the extra boost I need before attacking my behemoth wall. Thank you for your astounding artwork, and inspiring content. ❤
Speaking as someone that has absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever, this leaves me in total awe. That someone can have a vision and not only make it come to life, but make it come to life in an absolutely ginormous way. This is the definition of cool! Well done!
I am amazed at how great it looked from beginning to end. Very inspiring. The colors choices are delicious to the eyes. It is pretty cool you ran into someone related to the show! As well as your connection to that area.
Your art just keeps reaching new heights (new depths more appropriate given the topic?) with each one! So awesome man! Love following your progress And the thoughts/words at the end starting at 13:12 just inspiring
This is a beautiful mural. I don't know how this video came up on my feed but it did. I actually learned alot from watching this video. THANK YOU! -local, surfer, painter, muralist

lots of practice!
Nice shot clouds blends in the wave 15:11
Best mural yet!!! Love the composition and lettering.
glad you like it :)
Way to go Kiptoe. You are an inspiration for life. 🤙🏄💣

EPIC! That's amazing it all came back around with the main guy that's in the wave blessings.
the crazy thing about this is that he's not only making a dope mural but also a great video at the same time.
As a restorer of medieval frescoes, I am so amazed by your work! BRAVO

im up to three times a week on occasion! ... thanks slew 🥰
the story, the edit, the production, all while getting this job done, truly inspirational. your hustle and dedication is amazing.

Do you thin that's a 10k or a 40k project?
@@TimApple. I don't know -- I would guess around $75K. Based on one week on-site.
