It was Sunday afternoon around 6pm, June 14th. I was heading to One Stop Beer Shop a few blocks away from Graham Ave in Brooklyn. I went out to meet with some buddies for dinner and a drink and bumped into @chrisrwk #robotswillkill #chrisrwk . I entered the bar first before speaking to Chris aka Robots Will Kill. I told my buddy Kyle about the guy and how I recognized his work. My buddy suggested that I should talk to the guy, so I did. It turns out we have a mutual art friend who always advocates and showcases the work of artists of various levels, most notably Graff artists (I'm talking about the legendary Lois Stravsky, who is a friend of my ol Middle school to high school teacher Mindy).
We talked about how I came across his work through Lois (who has a facebook and Instagram page called @streetartnyc ) showcased a batman Graff piece that he did a few years back. I told him that I recognized his work as soon as I was heading toward my friend's bar. Chris is such a cool, humble, boots to the ground, sorta laid back guy. Very approachable, we talked about the art scene in modern times and the importance of maintaining a good relationship between the artist and their audience. It was a privilege to meet this legend since I have his batman picture in my face book photo album (illustrative influences). So the timing was hilariously on point. #graffiti #art #illustration #chrisrwk #robotswillkill photo by #antdujar94 #anthonyandujarjr #streetartnyc.
