"I’M NOT A MONSTER" - When Urban Art Deconstructs Appearances

Added Feb 18, 2025

In my latest mural, I wanted to play with perceptions and the hasty judgments we make about things. Through dynamic lettering and an endearing character, this piece questions how we see urban art and its creators.

A Mural Between Dynamism and Hidden Message

On one side, my tag "MR.KOB" appears in a large, textured format, predominantly green, with pink and yellow outlines that give it an energetic glow. On the other, a highly expressive green monster, wide smile, mischievous look, holding a sign that reads "I’M NOT A MONSTER".

Playing With Perceptions

The message is simple but profound. This monster, with its horns and eccentric appearance, could be perceived as a frightening creature. Yet, it clearly tells us that it is not. This echoes how society often perceives graffiti and street art: as a nuisance, "visual noise," whereas it is a genuine form of expression.

A Graffiti That Makes You Think

Beyond the fun and colorful aesthetics, this mural invites us to question our prejudices. Who are the real "monsters"? Those who express themselves freely or those who refuse to accept this artistic diversity?

With this piece, I wanted to create a visual dialogue between humor and social critique, between urbanism and imagination.

A Possible Series?

The idea of pushing this concept further is on my mind: imagining other characters with similar messages, always playing on the opposition between appearance and reality. What if each "monster" had its own heartfelt cry to share?

Conclusion: "I’M NOT A MONSTER" is more than graffiti; it’s a statement, a reflection on tolerance and freedom of expression. Street art is a voice, not a crime. And like this little monster, it may be misunderstood, but never frightening.

If this piece speaks to you, feel free to share your thoughts. And you, what do you see first? The monster or the message?

La Catrina: An Ode to the Day of the Dead

Added Feb 12, 2025

Hello everyone,

I am Mr. Kob, and I am thrilled to present my latest mural titled "La Catrina". This piece draws inspiration from Mexican iconography, particularly La Catrina, an iconic figure of the Day of the Dead. Painted on November 11, 2024, it is a vibrant homage to tradition, memory, and life.

A Portrait Full of Meaning

The central figure of this mural, La Catrina, wears a richly adorned sombrero and displays a serene yet mysterious smile. Her calavera (skull) face is delicately decorated with floral patterns and fine lines, reminiscent of the traditional makeup worn during Día de los Muertos celebrations.

In the background, I chose shades of blue and green to create a calming atmosphere, while details like "RIP" and the inscribed names pay tribute to cherished figures and memories. The lettering "Mr. Kob", painted in vibrant green, blends harmoniously with the composition while asserting my unique style.

Colors and Techniques

For this mural, I used Montana 94 spray paints, known for their matte finish, ideal for subtle effects and nuanced gradients. The vibrant tones—like the warm yellow of the sombrero and the green of the letters—contrast beautifully with the cool background hues, creating a balanced yet dynamic composition.

Every detail was meticulously crafted: from the shadows adding depth to the face to the highlights making the sombrero almost tangible. My goal was to capture the festive yet respectful essence of the Day of the Dead while adding my personal touch.

An Invitation to Celebrate Life

"La Catrina" is not just a homage to a cultural tradition; it is also an invitation to reflect on life and death with serenity. This piece reminds us that even in remembering those who are no longer with us, there is joy in celebrating their impact on our lives.

Each viewer can find a personal interpretation: a memory, a celebration, or simply a moment of contemplation.

Ocyle: When Graffiti Blooms in the Desert

Added Feb 8, 2025

Hello everyone,

I am Mr. Kob, and I am delighted to present my new piece titled "Ocyle". This mural is an ode to resilience and the raw beauty of nature, where urban energy meets the arid splendor of the desert.

A Landscape of Cacti and Colors

The central scene of this work is dominated by vibrant cacti that spell out my alternate graffiti signature: "Ocyle". These cacti, evoking both strength and adaptability, symbolize our ability to grow even in the harshest environments. Their vivid hues contrast with the warm and welcoming desert backdrop, painted in gradients of orange, red, and blue.

Each thorn on the cacti has been meticulously detailed to capture the texture that is both hostile and fascinating. The background, with its waves of bright colors, reflects a typical desert sunset, reinforcing an atmosphere that is both soothing and energetic.

A Technique Inspired by Nature

To create this mural, I used Montana 94 spray paints, renowned for their matte finishes and subtle nuances. The vibrant greens of the cacti were carefully blended to give a sense of volume and life, while the shadows add depth to each letterform.

The choice of background colors is no coincidence: the vivid blue sky contrasts with the warm tones of the desert, creating a harmony that immediately captures the eye. This contrast is intended to remind us that even the most inhospitable places can be sources of beauty and inspiration.

Ocyle: A Message of Resilience

This piece is not only a visual exploration but also a message of hope and perseverance. Just as cacti survive and thrive in difficult conditions, this work invites everyone to embrace challenges and find beauty in adversity.

The lettering "Ocyle", hidden within the forms of the cacti, symbolizes the integration between personal identity and the forces of nature. It’s my way of anchoring myself in this arid universe while leaving my mark.

An Invitation to Explore

If this piece evokes memories of travels or inspires you to see nature through a different lens, then my goal is achieved. Share your impressions and feel free to discover my other creations.

The Extraterrestrial and Me: Exploration and Mystery in Graffiti

Added Feb 5, 2025

Hello everyone,

I am Mr. Kob, and I am delighted to present my latest creation, a tribute to the universal imagination of extraterrestrials. Titled "The Extraterrestrial and Me", this mural blends science fiction, introspection, and the raw energy of urban art.

Encounter with the Unknown

The extraterrestrial, with its large black eyes and expression that is both curious and enigmatic, is a recurring figure in our science fiction narratives. By choosing this theme, I wanted to evoke the mystery of the universe and our collective fascination with the unknown. This being seems to want to establish contact, reaching out toward the viewer, inviting an imaginary dialogue.

My lettering "MR. KOB", painted in shades of green and black, integrates seamlessly into this interstellar atmosphere. The whole creates a visual harmony where each element contributes to enhancing the immersion in this cosmic journey.

A Supernatural Dynamic

In this mural, I sought to capture the idea of a sudden apparition, as if this extraterrestrial were emerging from a parallel dimension. The swirls of smoke and light effects add depth that brings this scene to life, making the experience almost tangible.

The objective was to create a piece that provokes thought, a work that not only grabs attention but also raises questions about our place in the universe.

Techniques and Color Palette

For this piece, I used Montana 94 spray paint, known for its matte finish, ideal for subtle and nuanced effects. The gradients of green, combined with deep shadows, create a sense of realism while remaining rooted in the imaginary.

Every detail, from the wrinkles on the extraterrestrial’s face to the reflections in its eyes, was carefully crafted to convey a presence that is both familiar and strange. The lettering adopts a bold style reminiscent of the visual codes of 1980s science fiction.

Between Reflection and Imagination

"The Extraterrestrial and Me" is a piece that invites reflection on the unknown, our beliefs, and our collective dreams. It is also a metaphor for human curiosity and our desire to explore beyond boundaries.

An Invitation to Travel

If this piece intrigues you, pushes you to look up at the stars, or simply makes you pause for a moment to dream, then I have achieved my goal. Share your impressions, and feel free to come and discover my other creations.

Garfield and Me: A Fusion of Nostalgia and Urban Dynamism

Added Feb 3, 2025

Hello everyone,

I am Mr. Kob, and I am thrilled to present my latest creation, where I pay tribute to an iconic character: Garfield. This graffiti blends nostalgia, energy, and a touch of provocation, capturing the very essence of contemporary urban art.

A Retro Look at the Heart of Pop Culture

Garfield, with his grumpy expression and laid-back attitude, is much more than just a cat. He represents an era, a pop culture phenomenon that has marked several generations. By choosing this character, I wanted to evoke not only humor and carefreeness but also the universal connection Garfield inspires.

Beside him, my lettering "MR. KOB" stands out in vibrant shades of orange and yellow, creating a visual harmony with Garfield’s emblematic color. This mix of warm tones symbolizes the energy and vibrancy of the urban scene.

A Dynamic Breakthrough

This graffiti was designed as a visual explosion, quite literally. You can see Garfield bursting through the wall, as if breaking the boundaries between urban space and the imaginary world. This illusion adds movement to the piece, encouraging passersby to stop and visually interact with the work.

My goal was to bring the wall to life, transforming it into a stage where Garfield and my lettering coexist, creating tension between the retro and the contemporary.

A Technique in Service of Emotion

To create this piece, I used high-quality spray paints, primarily Montana 94, known for their matte finish and remarkable precision. These sprays allow for capturing every detail of Garfield and ensuring a seamless finish, perfect for playing with depth and texture.

Every contour was carefully worked on, especially around Garfield’s expressive eyes, to reflect his iconic character. The lettering adopts bold lines and bright highlights, embodying my distinctive style.

Between Tribute and Reinvention

This mural is a love letter to childhood, but also a reflection on how pop culture icons continue to influence our lives. By reinventing Garfield in this urban context, I wanted to provoke a sense of familiarity while introducing a fresh perspective.

An Invitation to Explore

If this piece made you smile, recall fond memories, or simply intrigued you, I invite you to share your impressions and come discover my creations in person. My goal is always to add a little color and emotion to urban spaces.

Follow me on social media for more works, and feel free to collaborate with me on bold new artistic projects. Together, let’s continue transforming walls into true visual stories.

The Concrete Pig: When Graffiti Becomes a Social Reflection

Added Feb 2, 2025

Hello everyone,


I am Mr. Kob, an urban artist passionate about transforming walls into living canvases. Today, I present to you my latest creation: "The Concrete Pig". This piece is not just graffiti, it’s an invitation to reflect, a blend of humor, social critique, and raw artistic expression.

The Symbolism of the Pig: A Double Interpretation

The pig, the main character of this mural, is much more than just a simple pink animal. It embodies generosity and excess, two traits that so aptly define our current society. With its striking and almost provocative pink, this piece immediately grabs attention, but it also poses a crucial question:

In a world saturated by consumption, what truly defines us?

My choice to integrate my name, "MR.KOB", directly into the anatomy of the animal reflects my unique style. This fusion of lettering and figurative elements shows that my art and message are one. The pig becomes a complex metaphor here: oscillating between lightness and social critique, between amusement and reflection.

A Dialogue with the Urban Space

Creating in public spaces means participating in an ongoing conversation with the environment. This wall, nestled in an open urban art area, immediately inspired me. "The Concrete Pig" fits into a dynamic where each mural interacts with neighboring works and the gaze of passersby.

Painting in these vibrant places is also a challenge. Every splash of paint, every shape is designed to blend harmoniously while bringing new energy. This piece is meant to dialogue with the city, revealing its textures and riches.

The Secrets of My Creative Process

For this mural, I used vibrant spray paints, mainly Montana 94, which offer rich shades and great precision. Every contour is sharp, and every shadow is worked on to give depth and volume, making the image almost tangible.

A key aspect of my style is the integration of lettering into figurative shapes. Here, the lettering "MR.KOB" perfectly adapts to the pig’s silhouette, a choice that illustrates my constant quest for balance between aesthetics and storytelling.

A Work, a Thousand Interpretations

One of the strengths of urban art is allowing each viewer the freedom to feel and interpret the piece in their own way.

Some will see it as a symbol of abundance.

Others will perceive it as an ironic critique of consumer society.

Finally, some will simply find a splash of color and joy in an otherwise monotonous urban landscape.

For me, the essential thing is to evoke an emotion, whether light or profound, and to start a dialogue between the work and the audience.

An Invitation to Share and Create Together

"The Concrete Pig" is more than a mural. It’s an experience, a meeting point between the artist, the viewer, and the urban space. If this piece has made you smile, think, or simply intrigued you, I invite you to share it, discuss it, or even come see my creations in person.

You can also follow me on my social media to discover more works and, why not, collaborate on bold artistic projects. Together, let’s continue to color our walls and ask meaningful questions.

Thank you for taking the time to dive into my universe!

Experimental Abstract Art: A Creative Adventure Without Limits

Added Dec 22, 2024

In my approach to experimental abstract art, every canvas becomes a playground where creativity meets the unexpected. What fascinates me about this practice is the total freedom of exploration, where no predefined rules constrain the pure expression of matter and movement.


My process often starts with an idea, but it quickly takes an unpredictable turn, guided by the interactions between tools, colors, and the canvas. For example, I use balloons filled with paint that I pop directly onto the surface, creating dynamic and organic explosions of color. Each impact tells a unique story, capturing the raw energy of the moment.

I also enjoy working with an air compressor to blow paint, generating fluid and unpredictable shapes that evoke movement and freedom. This technique allows me to experiment with textures and layering, resulting in vibrant and lively compositions.

Another essential aspect of my approach is repurposing everyday objects as creative tools. Clips, screwdrivers, sieves—these instruments find new life in my studio, enabling me to trace, scrape, project, or stretch the paint. Using these unexpected tools enriches the process, often leading to surprising results.


Finally, hand projection remains one of my favorite techniques, as it directly translates emotion and physical energy into the work. It’s a way for me to leave a personal mark while embracing randomness and imperfection.

Each experiment brings me closer to understanding the interaction between matter and movement, between intention and chance. For me, experimental abstract art is a continuous search, a dialogue between the artist, the material, and the present moment. I invite you to discover this universe where every piece is an adventure, a surprise, and an emotion captured in color and texture.

Paint Dripping: The Art of Gravity and Movement

Added Dec 21, 2024

Today, I wanted to share a technique that deeply inspires me with its spontaneity and freedom: paint dripping. Literally translated as "dripping paint," this approach involves letting paint flow freely onto the canvas, guided by gravity and the present moment. It's a fascinating way to create vibrant works, where each drip tells a unique story.

What makes paint dripping so special is its ability to capture the raw energy of the artist. Every gesture, every tilt of the canvas becomes an essential part of the creative process. Popularized by artists like Jackson Pollock, this technique allows us to abandon the constraints of precision and connect to a more instinctive emotion.

In my own artistic explorations, I love incorporating this approach to bring a lively and organic dimension to my work. Paint dripping invites experimentation: the density of the paint, the colors chosen, the height of application—everything can influence the final result, creating unexpected expanses of textures and hues.

What I love about this technique is how it reflects the impermanence and beauty of spontaneous moments. Each drip is a moment frozen in time, a metaphor for life itself: unpredictable yet rich with emotion.

If this approach intrigues you, I invite you to discover my works where paint dripping plays a major role. Let yourself be surprised by the magic of shapes and colors intertwining under the effect of gravity. Who knows, you might find a new way of seeing art and life!
