Maybe put a hydrophobic (water proof) coating on top of the art? I don’t know how spray paint really works or how the hydrophobic spray works either, but maybe be a good test.
That's so disrespectful to tag up a mural like that, after someone spent countless hours to try to give a bit more life to your city you think you would respect it more. This honestly bugs the hell out of me.
Some people have such a shit life that they want others to feel the same as them, and instead of doing something about it, they lazily just ruin everyone's time until they learn, or die.
Growing up and living in L.A it hurts to see a nice mural get bombed like this. Back when I was a knuckle head hitting up walls we used to have an unspoken rule not to hit up murals. But you know you always got some worthless shits that don't give a fuck.
I feel like people do it because they want to get their name out there and when they see a really good piece that catches eyes they think that if they put up their tag people will see that too
I’m grateful for your honesty and vulnerability in sharing how it really makes you feel when your work is destroyed like this. It helps me feel like it’s ok to be sad when my work isn’t respected too. And I’m grateful you made a video of the piece cuz we can all enjoy it’s beauty forever now, no matter what happens to your piece on the wall itself
If you're in a gang, you're already showing how much of an uneducated piece of shit you are, so it stands to reason that those people (??) would vandalize art in that way (I'm also referring to the art of filmmaking, and stealing one's camera is not okay).
Jealously, young writers who don't know the game, territory, and also the want to get up on a sick mural to get recognized. Back in the day you would go find that dude and battle him or throw down. But now days taffeta don't have respect for anything, back in the day all writers and muralist had a bond, stuck togther. If there was heat between two writers it was because you went over him, so they had no right to bomb that mural! There toy mothaf**kers who are trying to get noticed. But like he said, when your in a nieghborhood that your not from, that's gonna happen regardless of how good you are now days
@@DarrenBaileyActor some people dont grow up with role models, and dont have a choice to join a gang for their own safety. If you havnt lived there life you shouldn't be talking about it like you know it
@@Kirisaki1312 can you blame them those taggers did nothing but ruin a man's artwork that is supposed to help the community like they really just made it seem like they ha e nothing better to do with there lives
Just like Graff writers getting disrespected by the city buffers, destroying art on a daily basis, only to replace it with boring blank walls. FUCK THE BUFF!
There is a lot of honesty and personal strength in this video Kiptoe. How you handle and communicate the issues are as inspirational to me as your badass fesrival murals or spraycan customisations. Keep up the vibe and may our views and likes give you the money for a few high quality cameras soon. I´m rooting for you.
GJ positive attitude and doesn't get bummed by a toxic personality, "kinda asking for it" "we can make this work" your speech at 10:30 second give or take. you seem very strong willed or stubborn but still a very positive person if you read this gj and keep up the work! the world needs more positive energy.
"Wow this looks really cool and the guy who made this has way more talent than me" "Let me put my useless tag over his art so I can show everyone what an untalented waste of space i am"
Honestly that place clearly has a tag/graffiti “problem” there was already tags on the background buff and tags after it was buffed. Just a bad spot for that low of a mural. I mean it’s dtla for fucks sake!
i remember driving past this painting. it was pretty badass. and i remember passing again and it was all gone. sucks cuz of people who tag a sloppy ass name on it to ruin it.
Keep your head up man. It was dope as hell and i‘m sure you‘ll prevail. One of your strongest points is probably your color theory and which ones you always choose. How do you do it? How do you choose those amazing contrasting colors that just work perfectly together?
Great job! Good thing you recorded it. One time someone broke into my house and smeared paint on a commission drawing I was working on along with other stuff. Too bad you can protect it with glass or plexiglass and just wash off the tags. Or create paintings that people can’t reach to tag lol. Keep up the great work!
It is sad that there are morons who do not respect art. You can add something cool to the mural, but destroy it ... Something that often decorates your area. PS.SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
These seem to be criminals or people with unfit minds. The types who are arsonists , who hurt pets /hunt helpless animals. Best to find out who did it as highly possible person could have other major crimes in list.
This is how it works.. This guy started somewhere too. Maybe he wasn't blasting murals but some people don't care. It's not about morals or whatever. Graffiti is graffiti. You couldn't have the mural without the tagging.
This artist mom from Ohio is proud of you! Keep up the good work! I'm an artist. My best mural was destroyed, took me 11 weeks to paint. I have some photos at least. I love what you are doing. You have so much talent and such a great attitude! Hang in there!
Yourself alongside your work has really inspired me to try getting started with painting, never as good as your work but at least gave me that push to try so thank you for uploading this. Also the people who jacked your stuff when you were filming will meet their own karma soon enough.
Valparaiso is a city in Chile where they have murals decorating almost a big part of the place which is extended all the way to the slums and the paint are a beautiful piece of art painted by local and international artist and if they catch a tagger he or she will not live to tell. The people from the slums will make sure that it will not happen again. Those murals are protected by the city and moreover by the people. I just do not understand how ignorant someone can be by not recognized what is art and talent and just tagging. Look at it A2M, SORK and 10MK that's what I was able to read. These taggers will die in misery, mentally poor. Their actions defined who they are and how they going to end.
Dude... that mural was EPIC!!! It was like Zeus materialized right out of a video game and was sucking power from the world as he grew in strength and presence. I would be SUPER EXCITED to see something like that in my neighborhood! TRULY epic! Someone needs to start a gofundme to buy this guy a new camera!
its really heartbreaking to see the mural where u put ur heart and mind to and worked for a really long time being disrespected and urgh, I am really sad and mad. Keep going kiptoe, ur art inspires so many people!! keep on spreading the positivity, ur art will be remembered always!! Salute
@@sylex5046 yeah i wouldnt if i was u. different spanish speaking countries use different slang/pronunciation. not even consistent across mexico (some parts say que pedo some say que transa for example)
Wow man, I don’t typically comment on youtube videos but your passion, energy, and outlook on life despite some really awful and unfortunate events is inspirational. Still remaining positive after something like that happens is really impressive. You’re very passionate about your craft and you create incredible works of art. First video I’ve seen of yours but it instantly made me a fan for life...
The disrespect. My god. Being an artist can really suck sometimes. People dont understand the time it takes. Its great your so positive man. Much love from another artist
Someone needs to come up with a clear coat that dries like a dry erase board. People come tag it and you just wash it off kind of thing. It can be done.
When i see your camera on the road. My guts keep telling me: "please, keep an eye or just dont put there that camera will be stolen"... And it did. But, hey i hope you get your camera back! Or i hope they get a karma soon. ...... As an artist myself, yes. Its really hurt when people ruins your art or even destroyed or tagging like that. It took ages to making that art mural, tradisional art, digital art, etc. What we can do is, telling people dont do that, or fixing the art, or giving a watermark. Even, tho it not enough. But, i really like your optimistic tho. Keep that up.
Props bro.. not just bc you made a badass Zeus painting but for being that positive and head strong after it all that happened to it. You're an inspiration bro to artists like me and world round ! Keep up the amazing art work G.
That mural is just mind boggling. I wish I had an artistic talent like that. But that’s gotta hurt seeing someone destroy such amazing art. Atleast you have it on video
As long as there is someone with the purpose of creating something beautiful in the world, there will be people who find their purpose in destroying that beauty. Don't stop creating
Imagine how sad one's life has to be for their peak to be having a tag over a mural or driving while paying close attention to the objects you could steal.
You are outstanding!! This was incredible to watch!! You nailed it with the long, long paint pole. Extremely upsetting to see your beautiful art destroyed.
Should put a new camera up, empty with a remote detonated HE-grenade, or just C4 or Semtex with a remote trigger... Thieves comes rolling by and steals the cam, press the button - less thieves on the street.
Imagine being one of the subhumans 'tagging' actual artwork. There's plenty of walls. Don't put your shitty writing on others' work. Actually, just stop tagging.
Undoubtedly this is amazing. Like he said, it wasn't a commission. He was just showing the world what he could do. The permanence in a neighborhood like that is impossible. The bright side is that this video has immortalized the art and shown any potential clients what he can do. In the right spot, protected inside a building or in the right neighborhood, this kind of mural would never be touched. He could make huge canvases or have the walls of someone's home painted. I'd love for something like this to be painted on my wall, ceiling, or place of business.
I just watched this video and I am so PISSED!!!!!!! That was an amazing piece of work on a massive scale and the disrespect for the effort and talent that was displayed is just sickening ! But you re obviously a bigger person than I am. You understand what you are dealing with and the fact that you can remain positive in the face of such utter stupidity and disrespect, shows that you are one of a kind deserving of really good things. It's coming your way man. RESPECT!
mad respect to your incredible talent...if we're ever so lucky to get you to express yourself with any public work for the Vancouver Mural festival a security water sprinkler system to keep taggers away could be installed above finished art to protect it. Worth it to keep your masterpiece unscathed
I always thought there was this unspoken rule to not touch each other's work. Realy sad to see such beautiful art go to waste. It brightens the world piece by piece.
Whatever you guys were eating looked good. Tough break on the camera, thats rotten. Fantastic video, a great piece of art and the struggles that come with it. You are tremendously talented.
Boggles my mind how someone can spend a week working on a huge project, be robbed, and just accept that this is life and that's the way it is. No. No. No. No. No. That is only that way because you voted that in. Vandals suffer no consequences and artists just accept it. Sad.
The city Jamestown NY, has a lot of pretty bare walls and whatnot that could use Kiptoe's artistry. There is one airbrush shop that does some small little pictures here and there and there's the huge Lucille Ball mural, but Jamestown could be welcoming you Kiptoe's talent and it would really brighten up the city
Wanna thank you especially for this one. That piece means a lot to me! Sad that I will never walk the street where it was.. we all should focus on the good energy! Please keep going..
Your mural is immortalized with this video. No one can tag that
also more people will see it on video than on the street

so annoying people think their meaningless tags are more important for the community to see than actual art from a talented creator
Ignorance and stupidity will always be the way of the cockroach.
I feel like people do it because they want to get their name out there and when they see a really good piece that catches eyes they think that if they put up their tag people will see that too
triggers me that the owner of the wall thinks taking down the beautiful artwork and turning it back into a bland wall would stop people adding tags
I'd rather see tags than dicks, profanity, pot leaves, and boobs spray painted
Lowlifes do this on porpuse. They cant give anything so the only thing they can do is to destroy. This is how bad people work.

Because graffiti writers dont appreciate street art because it evolved from the illegal graffiti scene, now it's all mainstream and commercial
They just don't know what's the meaning of respect cause nobody taught them on the streets

That wont stop them. They'll rip and break the tripod and rope if they want to.
A remote explosive is a better option.
love your talent - the ability to paint something so big, to understand how to build all those layers up - well done man!
I hate living in LA, filled with many people who don’t want to better themselves
So sad. You are really a gifted artist. Glad to see you are such a positive spirit.
Wish there was a clear coat that could protect the art and allow for cleaning off tags.
There is one put out by Sherwin Williams.
It’s illegal in LA
Amazing how you’re able to keep track of the scale of it while you work. Excellent.
9:33 aye man watch your back, people smash and grab all over LA
I was never robbed in LA but imma watch out now
Don’t give up brother!! Your work is needed!
Beautiful art work but probably already ruin by shitty gang members thinking they can tag .
if you watch till the end you see it got painted over completely
Brandon Brooks Because of shitty taggers
I always thought there was this unspoken rule to not touch each other's work.
Realy sad to see such beautiful art go to waste. It brightens the world piece by piece.
We need to come up with a policy for artist rights, thts for sure...
What?
Whatever you guys were eating looked good. Tough break on the camera, thats rotten. Fantastic video, a great piece of art and the struggles that come with it. You are tremendously talented.
how to ruin a masterpiece 101:
buy a spray paint and use your brainless imagination by spraying meaningless crap on an amazing artwork... DHUMBASSHH
When Kiptoe started mentioning good and bad energy, with the red and blue...my mind when straight to Avatar the Last Airbender 😂
They had to take down the Zeus mural cause all the women crossing it were mysteriously getting pregnant....I wonder why...
Everybody’s gotta leave a like for this sick ass mural and this guys never give up attitude attitude
Boggles my mind how someone can spend a week working on a huge project, be robbed, and just accept that this is life and that's the way it is. No. No. No. No. No.
That is only that way because you voted that in.
Vandals suffer no consequences and artists just accept it.
Sad.
but what can you do? people are just that way.

@@idiom2805 and go to jail for life? No thanks
@@jasonpeng5798 Only if you're caught.
Lots of people get shot every day.
Especially in ghettos.
@@idiom2805 that aint right. They may be pieces of shit but taking someones life isn't an equal exchange. They have mothers too.
That was fantastic. Doesn't matter what people do to your art, there are many more that would kill to have this much talent ✌
The city Jamestown NY, has a lot of pretty bare walls and whatnot that could use Kiptoe's artistry. There is one airbrush shop that does some small little pictures here and there and there's the huge Lucille Ball mural, but Jamestown could be welcoming you Kiptoe's talent and it would really brighten up the city
Wanna thank you especially for this one. That piece means a lot to me!
Sad that I will never walk the street where it was.. we all should focus on the good energy!
Please keep going..
What a beautiful piece of art. You have such a great talent man. Much love from Tennessee!
